Grant doing Hamlet as Withnail at the end is actually my favorite Hamlet.

Thank you so much for fixing it! This is actually the first time a writer here has ever responded to my bitching about an error, let alone fixed it, and I really appreciate you correcting it rather than just leaving it up there.

Bahahaha As a copyeditor, I resemble the last half of that remark more than I am willing to admit.

When it says Alan Ginsberg, do you mean some random dude named Alan Ginsberg or actual famous person the poet Allen Ginsberg? Because I’m a little appalled nobody in the office caught that misspelling of his name.

My one brush with fame was writing an op-ed for the state newspaper, which went a little bit viral for the state in certain circles related to my job, a few years ago. All positive attention, actually, but my workplace got a FB message from someone who had tried to find me on social media to message me and compliment…

Even though it’s not my natural inclination to side with them either, same for me. I think they’re really done with his shit, and I can’t say I blame them.

He and Rebel Wilson were battling for the bottom tier in an absolute shit movie. I’ve still not really recovered from her unzipping her fur, so maybe she slightly edges him out for that. 

Yeah it’s for me too.

I had the same reaction to his appearance in The Mule. He looked so old and fragile. And of course he was 88 at the time, so I don’t even know why it shocked it me. But it did. Even then, I am still surprised how much his voice seems to have changed between now and then.

This is the next Coen Brothers movie we need. 

It’s one of my favorites too. I find myself rewatching it and The Man Who Wasn’t There the most out of all their movies. Have to watch each one at least one year.

I ended up liking her short stories far more than her novellas, especially some of the ones that don’t get as much buzz (like “Parker’s Back”), but yes from a sheer standpoint of craft, all of it is so good and so well done! 

I have a degree in Southern lit, specializing in Southern Gothic lit, and even in the pantheon of weird that is Southern Gothic literature, Wise Blood is one of the absolute weirdest things I’ve ever read. But it was somehow less weird than her other novella, The Violent Bear It Away.

I’ve been excited for this movie for a while. Loved the book, love Scorsese, and loved a lot of the casting decisions they’ve made (especially Jesse Plemons and Sturgill Simpson). Didn’t expect to see any other casting news, so a real pleasant surprise to read this. I’ve been a big fan of Fraser’s since I was a kid. He…

The worst part is I think it is actually supposed to be Italian. But damn if she doesn’t sound just like she wandered in from the set of a Rocky and Bullwinkle movie instead.

TMZ still broke the story, so I’m not sure it’s true that there are no updates simply because he’s in a non-TMZ/non-CA bubble. I’d landed on the site last night, saw the Odenkirk update, freaked out, and tried to see if there was anyone else reporting it. Took other outlets a couple of hours to catch up.

That lack of an update really alarmed me too.

He sorta looks like a one-off redneck asshole who would be in a Justified episode for the sole purpose of Raylan humiliating him.

Yeah I watched it a few years ago with a friend, and it’s sort of haunted me ever since. Definitely one of the things I’ve watched that has stayed with me. 

Yeah as a child of the 90s, when I think of bear attacks, I think of The Edge. Actually rewatched it a few weeks ago, and it still holds up pretty well!
