Where’s Sorcerer? You could debate which one is better but there’s no question it’s a hell of an achievement in white-knuckle action filmmaking.

Dianne Wiest deserves some credit there as well.

Yeah, I mean they invented a whole fake accent just for “proper” characters to use. In the early days of film, most actors were trained for the stage at a time when productions either had dodgy or nonexistent sound rigging, and you had to be discernible from the back row in the balcony. It shouldn’t be surprising that…

Yeah, I think the issue here is that most people expect a stand-up act to be embellished for the purpose of making it funnier, not to increase empathy for the speaker (except to the extent that it helps with the former goal) or as an attempt to offer critiques of real issues like racism and xenophobia.

I don’t really…

“Emotional truths” sounds a bit to me like “Alternative facts”.

Please put Sam Rockwell in all the movies. Like, get him and Walton Goggins in the same thing and it will instantly become my favourite thing of all time.

Open Range is an unfairly overlooked western, and he’s fantastic.

Of course that’s what it is. That’s the cycle now. Interviewer asks impossibly old person a question where the answer is pretty much a foregone conclusion and waits for the clicks to roll in. Then vultures like the AV Club throw up a link to said interview with a paragraph or two of withering condescension ladled over…

This seems like a Daily Mail reporter asking a question designed to get a 90 year old in trouble.

EXACTLY! Every year or so I have to watch the same lame videos of really bad actors in obviously creepy scenes once again explain why I should not be a creep or molester and also, by the way, why I should not take or give bribes when I travel.

Well, he is 90, so we might want to imagine that we’re 90, we mention that we support trans rights, and then all the young people judge us for using such an outdated phrase to express support for something that everyone with a brain supports in the year 2080.

My sense from the statement is that Caine thinks of himself as a working actor, who likes to complete his task for the day with a minimum of fuss.  He isn’t seemingly one of those gross people who opposes intimacy coordinators because they, like, interfere with his ability to molest coworkers, but rather because they…

It always amuses me just how much internet writers and twitter X underestimate how much most people absolutely do not care about being required to hate something because Mel Gibson is in it.

I dislike Mel Gibson (I still love a couple of his movies), I detest anti-Semitism, racism, misogyny, and more things Gibson is probably associated with.

It’s correct that others have noted that the Stimson honeymoon angle is not supported by the historical record, but Stimson DID visit Kyoto on several occasions in the 1920s, and I think the scene at its heart, if not factually correct, captures a more important truth about the decision of which city to bomb. Kyoto…

It feels like a tough needle to thread.

It feels like a tough needle to thread. I think most little people trying to make it as actors would prefer more meaningful roles that aren't centered on their size, but without the dwarf/creature/elf roles they don't often get the chance to even break into the industry. 

Generally a reasonable list but a few changes I’d make:

Yeah, the idea of putting Seinfeld as number two between Dexter and How I Met Your Mother doesn’t sit right.

And here folks, we have a perfect example of “Othering” that the author was alluding to:
