The trailer of that show and their nominal premise were all sort of awful, but I saw the first three episodes and was surprised when I genuinely got into it. They got through about 3/4ths of the movie in the pilot and very pointedly went into a different direction after that.

I think it’s so fitting that that reboot Charlie’s Angels looks like it has a character inspired by Glover’s, as though that’s a staple of the franchise now, and that they got Jonathan Tucker who has such a similar vibe of engaging eccentricity.

Not that there’s actually a hardline between the two, but Beatriz acknowledged fancasting of her as Marvel’s She-Hulk and I could actually see that working about as well, if not even better.

For whatever reason I dread fake judge stuff, so when that seemed to be his primary public face I sort of waned and didn’t follow him as much.

In one of the latter two in his trilogy of fake trivia at some point he also just compiles or repurposes/reworks a bunch of his non-fiction essays and TED Talk. There’s a pretty decent segment dedicated to how he went from writing about BSG to magically being on it.

I’m very much a genre guy and while I liked both of those enough, Mother for is the BJH movie that seems to stick with me the most— despite not being as high-concept. (Granted I also haven’t seen Memories of Murder which tends to top a lot of other peoples’ lists.)

Is it bad I was expecting/hoping for a Korean cover of the Kate Bush “Wuthering Heights?”

What constitutes “ironic distance” here? I feel like there’s some darkly funny contrast between making a girl watch her boyfriend(?)’s intestines spill out and forcing her to be an accomplice, yet wrapping that up with jazz hands. It’s impressively grim compared to the clips featuring the kids that all skew a little…

To some extent that essentially becomes the episode of Angel where he’s accidentally turned into a muppet?

She said some dumb things in private riffing on the idea that, as a black man, the president would gravitate towards the only movies Sony made with black lead actors (both reputable and not). That kind of seems to represent the standard dumb essentialization of any minority group by studio execs?

Does “page to screen” ever/often mean “script to screen?” I thought this meant it was an adaptation of something until I double-checked the wiki.

While I agree that Missing Link was a bit of a misstep, treating it like a trend seems a little off (even though I feel like each of their movies has made progressively less money). It seems fair that at some point they would want to branch out from having all of their protagonists be children, even if that and the…

She says he likes him but there’s no eye contact or acknowledging he’s in the room. It’s entirely possible (...probable) Emilia Clarke is just talking about him and why she’s acting different.

I have that same issue with comic book solicitations/announcements months in advance. With movies however, there tends to be a pretty constant cycle of posters and trailers for bigger releases so festival reviews help me get a sense of audience reactions and potentially temper some enthusiasm.

There’s a(n ex-?)Seattle pop artist named Prom Queen(/Leeni/etc. depending on which genre she’s working in) and I thought she had a similar vibe as early Lana, knowing retro-pop pastiche but with a slightly greater degree of camp and sometimes electronica.

He’s been a studio exec for awhile, including heading the Kurtzman/Orci company according to a few reports I’ve seen.

I don’t particularly like this song on the EP but I thought the video and the first couple seconds of the award show performance pre-buffering were kinda charming.

I know different writers and it’s a joke, but yesterday’s Bieber post encouraged that he spend *less* time getting in fights with older people.

Maybe it’s since I mainly got into horror through comedies, but I prefer when films have some tonal shifts, so it can make it even more jarring when they seem to relieve the tension but ramp it up even more. (Like Us takes a random jab at digital home assistants and it made the scene extra disorienting to me, after…
