Wil Keenan from Tromeo and Juliet.  I’m going to keep saying this until that Gunn coward explains why not.

This is literally just somebody doing the same thing that the studios do.  But it doesn't matter, there's no way the film will win, even though the nomination will likely remain.

Imagine if he got Will Keenan from Tromeo And Juliet to play Superman.

“it has come to our attention that technically they did nothing wrong and we would like to change that, because it’s concerning to think that anything other than the pre-agreed studio product might be able to access the same level of consideration"

Its got nothing to do with controversy, and I also don’t really accept that you are unaware of the importance of professional reputation and co-operation in the entertainment industry, where almost all your job opportunities come from networking. Do you think I’m talking about public image rather than professional…

I think that a movie sequel to an old sitcom where there’s almost no possibility of (or even value in) successfully reconvening the entire original cast is a really bonkers idea that could only work by sheer force of will.

This is definitely one of those things where all the famous comedy people only got involved because they're scared of what it might say about them if they pass up a Mel Brooks opportunity.  No way is it going to be funny and no way is their presence going to make it funnier.

Even when Bill Murray was funny, he was funny in a way that wouldn’t be funny if someone did it today. He’s a fossil. Nobody is surely that uncomfortable in 2022 with the idea that he’s an asshole, are they?

Listen to me.

Somebody spotted his name on a court docket, basically.

I... uh... er...

Yeah, I think thematically they stripped the guts out of the story, and replaced it with absolutely nothing. Even on those occasions where there was an opportunity to explore something new, it is handled in a way that makes it abundantly clear that the writers were oblivious to the possibilities.

It’s gotta be one of the worst remakes of all time, right? The only thing in its favour is that its execution is so slight, and its impact so mild, that in relative terms watching it is, in many ways, indistinguishable from never having seen it. But if you were ever foolish enough to actually pay attention to its…

I haven’t seen that film because I too dislike that man’s work but... are you joking? Is that a thing that happens in a film?

Yeah or maybe people who love their friends just care about them enough to notice how they're relating to people?  Homophobic my ass.

I dunno man. My best friend from ten years old is gay, and while his coming-out wasn’t framed as some shock announcement that he thought we’d all be totally blindsided by, it was certainly the case that those of us who had known him forever knew that he had always related to boys and girls differently to most of…

Haha, the trailer for this looked hilarious. I don’t always love Blumhouse’s ‘deliberately contrived’ approach - sometimes that contrivance is a boon in the way that much of the best horror relies on genre conventions to get to the point a bit quicker, sometimes it also creates space for them to get weird (ie “if we…

“Smith has been someone that epitomized Hollywood glamor without being poisoned by it”

I’m in neither camp.

That's a shame. A lot of those jingoistic Chinese action films are really exciting.
