Hill is an icon of American cinema in my view.  The bad stuff is bad, but when he’s not floundering and he has a clear vision, he’s a genius.

I am genuinely uncomfortable with the world’s most expensive show being indirectly funded at the expense of bathroom breaks and workplace safety. I don’t give a shit how good it is. If people were unhappy when someone was killed on the set of what was surely going to be a mediocre Alec Baldwin movie, you’d hope they…

There’s also that whole thing about how if Frodo doesn’t deliver the ring in time, his salary will be docked.

Imagine being inspired by the Lord Of The Rings to make people piss in bottles.

Now just what the heck is “Star Wars” anyway?

I don’t think the King and Allicent are having sex, and I think that if its later revealed that they are having sex at this point, then it’s a betrayal of the show’s grammar: I’m in no hurry to see explicit sexual content involving those two characters, but for them to be in a sexual relationship that goes this…

Right so if your ego died, mate, why does 100% of your end of this conversation revolve around managing the way people perceive you?

The irony of course is that they will almost certainly replace her with an identical character.

Indeed, “traducing” seems to be the kind of word that mainly an asshole would use in 2022.

Yes that's quite an inference to draw isn't it

Listen: Kanye West didn’t ‘defend’ anything. Kanye West is an unwell man whose various pursuits are simply very happily commodified by people. Even his “defence” here is being eaten up by Fox News of all things. There’s remarkably little evidence of his ever having offered a coherent explanation of anything he’s done,…

There’s no shortage of horror movies that use the police procedural as scaffolding...

I don’t want to live in a world that doesn’t have Fridays 6 or 7 in it.

I cannot believe it never occurred to anyone before now to conflate the names of KK Downing and JK Rowling.  What a delightfully bizarre gag.

I am an eternal horror fan who never had a taste for this franchise. I thought the first one was a diverting novelty; something which seems to have since been lost to history is that at the time, it read fairly explicitly as a wilfully-corny Argento pastiche, and I recall the parts of horror fandom that I frequented…

Have you watched the latest episode?

Without it, this article is just "someone said that someone else said something"

See I was worried that the author was suggesting these are movies with a working-class target audience, whatever that would be.

Since this article refered largely to the premise that Aubrey Plaza resembles the character in a picture on a magazine cover, might I suggest including the picture? That’d be groovy wouldn’t it?

Would absolutely LOVE to understand the use of "working class" in this review.
