I guess it depends what stage in Winehouse’s descent you’re comparing the makeup to. Her addiction changed her appearance quite a bit.

My main takeaway, from the search I definitely didn’t do because I keep safe-search on, is that she’s stolen the name of 00s Czech pornstar Piper Fawn.

Shut up, Leonard - I know about your crooked wang!

Three words:

Leonard likes this.

Most importantly, is Diane Lane available to play her in the movie?

You had me at “references to [...] Saul Bass”

“The game is rigged, but you cannot lose if you do not play.”

As long as I’ve still got Swingers, Go, and Edge Of Tomorrow in disc form on my shelf, I’m good.

HR’s org chart lists him as “Overlord”.

Say, “Say, ‘Bitter, much?’ much?” much?

Obligatory:

Making films is about boosting the box office (or streaming numbers, or whatever financial metric is in this season). I was thinking about smaller movies, which rarely make decent bank, even by the modest standards of their budget and release scope, and that can use any help they get.

On the other hand, Barbie didn’t need the extra ticket money that Oscar nominations can bring. At this point, they’d just be deepening the Scrooge McDuck pool.

Good to know. Well, not /good/, because dagnabbit they picked the wrong movie, but now I’m free to wish a Best Picture nom upon it.

I insist that Godzilla Minus One be nominated for Best International Feature, and would like it to get one or more of Screenplay, Lead Actor or Lead/Supporting Actress - the actors do great work to raise an already-brilliant movie further.

I wasn’t doubting her bona fides - if you’ve got an episode of either “Doctors”, “The Bill”, or “Casualty” under your belt, you’re a proper British actor, them’s the rules.

Disney’s name showed at the end of the UK broadcast right alongside the BBC’s and Bad Wolf’s. No way on Raxacoricofallapatorius would they just let themselves be a silent and passive distribution partner.

I wonder if the switch is Disney poking their oar into casting decisions, to get their players in? It has uncomfortable “‘Professor Spacetime’ remake” vibes. If Sethu shows up with a tennis racket, I’m done.

But can you get an umbrella to pop out of it, Rolls-Royce style?
