As noted, the hook for the Food & Wine article that got noticed by the Food Network exec was that her family is cinema royalty. Would a sous chef at Spago who was not W. Puck have had a similar feature done if they were not the offspring of famous people? Certainly she’s a better-trained and more experienced chef…

Community journalist for a TV station isn’t a particularly exciting job, Marnie. It’s basically the lowest-ranked on-air reporter and a perfectly gig for someone who graduated from USC-Annenberg.

“There has been uh muh-dur!”

The oldest movie in the list, The Thin Man is a pre-Code murder mystery comedy that showcases just how risky early Hollywood movies tended to get.

They’re not “not good,” they’re shit. Anyone not named Branagh should not be recommending them.

It is 100% a 21st century version of the Tarantino knock-offs that were so popular in the 1990s. That said, it’s probably the best of the fake Tarantino films.

And like the sleeping children hoping that the Sandman won’t conjure Garlin, Never Have I Ever can now count the actor as their problem.

If McDonald’s now has a secret menu we’re supposed to get excited about, it may be time to wrap this whole thing up.

Fox hasn’t had a segment on that yet, hence the lack of outrage. They’ll get to it after Christmas.

Netflix not putting out a soundtrack that included the pop songs, just the orchestral score, also screwed the Cramps pretty badly.

Maybe, but there are a lot of garbage brands that have been revived, and Jaws merch is bigger than ever.

everyone can get their feet jokes locked and loaded now

Open Water and the Shallows were both pretty good.

I assume there are some rights issues stopping them from making Jaws remakes and sequels.

Most humans have no realistic sense of how dangerous predators are. Witness how many idiots think that lions, tigers and cheetah are suitable backyard pets.

Even the Disney Pirates book that Disney commissioned and sells at the actual Pirates of the Caribbean shop in Disneyland talks about how unreliable Depp was during PotC 5 and how much money that cost the company.

If they’re saying that in their puff pieces, I can’t imagine they’re more fond of him in private.

Smart. You will have to watch so much with the kids that it’s good to have stuff queued up so you don’t end up watching garbage like the Croods or Ice Age 47, like I did.

We weren’t mad, we were just disappointed.

This was nowhere more apparent than in the spin-off film Puss In Boots, an exceedingly ugly and unfunny romp that is best left as a forgotten footnote of Dreamworks’ animated output.

if it’s not their human bodies doing it, does it even “count”?

Bruckheimer should look at how poorly the last two Pirates films did.

PotC 4 focused almost exclusively on Depp, and PotC 5 wasn’t far behind.

Maybe the box office cancelled Depp, not anyone else.
