Jeff Bock, a box office analyst who spoke to Variety, pointed out that Miller “is not Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man” yet, meaning that the studio could recast them in a hypothetical future movie without it being a huge controversy.

To be fair, Florida voted for DeSantis, so Floridians are reaping what they sowed.

Blame Sinbad!

Agreed, this is inspired casting.

Frank Langella may not even need makeup to be Skeletor these days. Get that guy back, he was incredible in the role!

Buying tickets to the Studio Ghibli Museum was undoubtedly one of the most arcane and convoluted processes I have ever undergone for admission to any site. It was 10+ years ago and availability was no problem, but I had to navigate a Japanese-language-only terminal inside an equivalent of a 7/11 store. Even with a…

No knock on Keenan, who is great, but I don’t get the sense that he has worked out those same muscles.

Ah yes, the legendary ED ASHER...

Taika Waititi bringing the Jodoverse to the big screen is about as perfect a match as I could imagine.

My calendar is pretty full so it looks like I’ll have . . . No Time To Di.

Seems appropriate to Photoshop out the kid’s penis, because as an adult he has turned out to be dickless.

Bro, he’s in the photo at the top of the article, too, bro!

Tom Cruise is gonna look 45 by the time these movies come out.

Clapton’s arc in recent years brings this to mind:
