Yeah, I remember early on in the metoo era when there were all these totally baffled men who kept asking “how are we supposed to know what is and what isn’t acceptable in the workplace?!?” and I thought — um, don’t touch other people at work unless it is legitimately part of what you do for your work (e.g., make-up…

So....not an Isle of Dogs sequel then?

There are plenty of other candidates, but no one knows who they are. They haven’t been found. Harris is the obvious one, in the way that a sitting VP is always an obvious candidate for the presidency. Who else are people tossing around? Newsome? Whitmer? Those name are always said with a question mark because no one…

Cool, she can make a movie and bankroll putting him in it then, and once it’s made she can try to sell it to theaters or streaming services or whatever.  That was always allowed.

This is the core of it: “But can I tell you how many men have grabbed my genitals in my lifetime? A lot more than Kevin Spacey has grabbed men’s genitals. And none of them has ever apologized to me.”

I wouldn’t be so quick to jump on the ‘he’s making it all about him’ bandwagon.  We don’t know how much of this decision is him clinging to power, versus how much of it is because it seems like there never was any other candidate.  I can’t know his mind, but I can know that the DNC doesn’t seem to have done anything…

The advantage of being slow and meandering is that a sizable portion of the indie audience won’t get it, but will rave about it anyways just because they don’t want to look dumb. And if it’s gorgeous to look at, so much the better.

I’ve watched a couple of his movies, including this one.  Always the same reaction: very pretty, but not a whole hell of a lot to keep me engaged.  Maybe I just don’t have the patience for his stuff.

Think less, comment more.

Pearl blowing off her dad’s head with a shotgun, despite the police helicopter telling her to drop the gun multiple times, and her not only skipping prison for murder but going on to be a star, is this whole trilogy in a nutshell: We COULD have done the necessary work to make things make sense, but then it wouldn’t…

I saw Gretel & Hansel in the theater (February 2020, one my last moviegoing experiences for about 1 year and a half as COVID was looming), and it was a gorgeously shot film and had creepy atmosphere in spades, but I recall getting a bit bored by the last act. Perkins’ previous film, The Blackcoat’s Daughter, is one of…

1 is the most degrading of the series. It is literally wearying how much rape is in it, *and that’s by the hero of the movie*. The later “films”, though absolutely worse from a technical level, at least seem to employ people who know they’re making terrible films, and have fun with the concept instead of being a dimly…

I saw Nicole Kidman in line at AMC and she made everything better.

I assume he was joking.  I’ve seen Nicole Kidman in line at a coffee shop and she had to wait like everyone else.

I naively assumed he was joking

No, that’s the next Knives out movie, Wake Up Dead Man

Oh don’t even get me started on Reagan. I live in an area where he’s a hero, and no one here wants to hear my diatribe on how his policies destroyed the middle class and American Dream in one fell swoop, and somehow Republicans still believe “trickle down” is a thing that is good for them. I 100% think higher…

Reminds me of one of my friends creating “In the Name of My Father the Hero” and another saying he wanted to see “Rising Firm” when he meant one of Rising Sun or The Firm and probably inadvertently named a very, very different film.

I just want to say that I appreciate the underdog fight you’re fighting here. I’m generally on board with the idea that 1.) she handled some things poorly, and 2.) the way she was treated is reflective of a long-running culture of sexism in Hollywood can both be true, but not on how much emphasis is being put on the…

They’re definitely doing this for shitty reasons, but Gaiman himself is admitting to the encounters and just claiming they were consensual, which is... questionable given that one of them was with a nanny 40 years his junior and it happened within hours of her starting on the job.
