Yeah this was happy coincidence and nothing more. I’d argue he was too young and pretty for the role. Coming into this he’d just made Edward Scissorhands, Benny and Joon, and Gilbert Grape. Ed Wood was same year as PF. I think he’d have worked okay but Roth hit just the right notes.

This isn’t a very “AV Club” headline. Let me have a go:

In the UK we’ve a channel that was rebranded as “Dave”, which is just as idiotic. It’s actually shown some decent comedy (with Taskmaster debuting on it), but I still wince whenever I hear the name.

In a very small consolation, I do like the tagline “the stuff that dreams are made of” as that’s the closing line of The Maltese Falcon. Which is probably a movie they won’t even bother to have on the service.

BREAKING: Blackstone Capital Partners has acquired Coca-Cola. They plan to immediate scrap the brand and begin selling soda as “Blackstone Capital Fizz”

But apparently, executives are pushing for a name change because they don’t want the offerings on the apps to dilute the HBO brand.

*Joey Jo Jo runs out of room crying*

Even stupider than Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo?

That’s the stupidest name I’ve ever heard.

How pissed is Candace Owens and her husband that they couldn’t dump Parler off on Kanye? Also let’s take a moment and laugh at their anti-woke bank going under almost immediately. 

Just like a dog who finally catches its own tail... It was probably Alex Jones’ fever dream to find a black white supremacist, but once he actually had one sitting in front of him, he had no idea what to do.

I really ought to watch the film for myself someday, but for now I’ll always remember In the Mood for Love as one of the movies Kevin Murphy writes about in A Year at the Movies: One Man’s Filmgoing Odyssey, a chronicle of his quest to watch at least one movie every day for a year in seemingly as many different…

I like a lot of long, slow arthouse movies. JD is so aggressively unfriendly and borderline unwatchable for casuals that calling it the best movie of all time suggests a pretty clear philosophical position.  And that position is that film’s highest goal is to be almost exclusively appealing to critics and wannabes.

To paraphrase an old saying, if we could harness the kinetic energy from every film critic patting themselves on the back for making that film #1, we could power Manhattan.

So get us started. Go on, say something funny about Godard.
