I mean just Google any articles about from from the decade leading up to IRON MAN in 2008. Here’s a long piece including interviews from 2000, soon after he started serving a jail sentence, so I guess you could consider this a contemporary account of RDJ at rock bottom:

I agree. I don’t consider it to be an injustice when someone who is a less bankable star and/or is a huge liability gets paid less than a co-star. Even if, in the case of IRON MAN (a character and role familiar to many readers), the central character is paid 1/9 of a co-star that appeared in maybe a fifth of the…

It happens. Lest we forget, Terrence Howard was the highest-paid actor in the original IRON MAN, not Robert Downey Jr.

I figured they had at least 20 albums by now.

Just about all I remember from that version of Robin Hood is this:

I like Steinfeld, but this looks like a generic CW show that I never even hear about until 3 years after it was canceled.

He’d be a great voice for Galactus, that is for sure.

I can’t believe I had to scroll down 6+ pages to find the first mention of THE SHIELD. I have never seen a series stick a landing so well. Just a perfect ending.

First time I saw him onscreen was in THE MAN WITH THE IRON FISTS. On paper, it was the sort of muscle-y meathead role you would typically give to a non-actor, kind of like what they (sadly) did with the 3rd incarnation of the Mountain on GOT. But Dave Bautista brought a lot of charisma to it and played it in a more…

If Loki trades in his horned helmet and armor in exchange for a feathered pimp hat and leisure suit, it’s undoubtedly a winning move.

I agree that the tone of the movie felt completely wrong. It made me appreciate the shoestring 1980s BBC production, which at least felt right. Merge the BBC tone with the movie actors and maybe it would be been special.

Crystal Skull is a great example. I have never felt compelled to re-watch that. In contrast to that one, if any of the others are on TV, I have to stop and watch, because Indiana Jones was one of my childhood icons.

It was great up until the last 20 minutes or so of S1's finale.  And it never recovered after dropping that ball.  So much squandered potential.

I agree that Ep1 was a letdown but that Ep2 was when all hope was lost. I remember that at the time there were some of us arguing/hoping that we’d get three very distinct movies - with Ep1 being the kid-friendly origin, Ep2 being a compelling love story with elements setting up the next act, and Ep3 the tragic fall.…

I immediately thought of Chris Hemsworth playing an incompetent hero in CRITTERS. And I could see that. Then I realized I mixed up the Hemsworths.

Does becoming the King of the Six Kingdoms count?

Joe Bob deserves one of those “genius” grants to just do whatever he wants year after year.  Or maybe a tenure track at some university, whatever.

Bran wargs into Drogon to save Jon from execution?  Then gets stuck there, or stays there for a long time to prevent him from going nuts on what’s left of King’s Landing?

Shoulda been

More likely that Bran will warg into Drogon to save Jon from an execution order. Assuming Bran, like, still *does* things, man.
