I fight Climate Change through interpretative dance.

Improvised guerilla street theater is one of the best parts of low-budget cinema from the 70s. It’s clearly a director saying, “Hey, there’s already some actors here, and they’re working for free - let’s film it!”

Oh hell yes. Even in 1971, Howard Hesseman looked middle-aged.

Are we entirely sure it wasn’t because of the improv comedy that people kept messing with Billy Jack’s hippies?

It’s also a sign of the times that it wants to think that members of outcast groups want to perform in improv theater performances.

Well, one of them admitted to and was convicted of statutory rape and then fled the country before sentencing, and the other one was accused of sexually assaulting a minor but never convicted of anything.

I think you’re still way too caught up on losing spidey and pretending people are “rooting for Sony” instead of “rooting for some glimmer of hope in loosening Disney’s vice grip on the industry”. It’s almost sad how your diatribe on corporate cheerleading and the rest of your comments here are essentially the same…

I’m not disagreeing, it’s just weird how so many people are talking like Sony’s the bad guy in all of this. It was Disney who changed the terms, and it was Disney who decided Sony was making too much money off of Spider-Man and needed to leach some more money off of it. It’s fucking batshit. Personally, I think by the…

Let’s be clear, the asshole in this story is Disney. THEY’RE the ones who decided that the existing arrangement wasn’t enough, and the company who makes ALL THE MONEY wasn’t making ENOUGH money off of Spider-Man so Disney, fucking DISNEY, needed to squeeze Sony for more cash. Because they weren’t happy with the…

This is terrible, Tom. And hurtful. Every year, dozens of beatific young women die of Ali McGraw’s Disease and despite decades of research we are still no closer to a cure. And pieces like this that downplay the very real effects -- husbands feeling bad, husbands moping, husbands seeing a decline in their racquetball…

“certified country royalty Billy Ray Cyrus”

Well, the song is popular yet bloody awful. 

Good I hate radio country and this awards bullshit but that song is total garbage, no matter its chart position, and it’s definitely not country.

I appreciate a lot of what Rian Johnson was *trying* to do with TLJ, even if I didn’t always like the end product—I think he killed many of his (really J.J.’s) darlings a bit too severely, a bit too quickly; almost like he wanted to wipe the slate clean to make Episode IX truly his own, and that took precedence over…

lmao the New Order took over the entire galaxy between movies because the New Republic was so incompetent they allowed a militant remnant of the Empire to survive, gather resources, and build a giant fleet and one hell of a superweapon, which then blew all like seven of their government planets to smithereens in one…

If the general level of discourse in film discussion online is any indication...a fair number do not know this, actually.

Right, I don’t think people remember how successful the franchise has always been. Even the “flop” ASM2 made $700M worldwide. Venom (a shitty movie) made over $800M worldwide. 

But Holland’s staying in the role regardless, and the same director’s still on board. So whatever boost the movies get from that is locked in whether or not Sony is able to make a deal with Disney. The new movies have been better, and more profitable, but not so much more profitable that Sony would be wise to give…

Yea like I guess I see how this is idk “difficult” for the staff here but also Lawrence was just a different kind of capitalist fucking dickhead that was full of shit. The staff “hates” kendall and the Roy’s but also didn’t have issue working for and being paid by them. I feel like some reads on the episode missed out…

I kind of don’t want to wade into this but I think you’re missing Yummsh’s point. He’s saying that even though Cliff Booth wins (or ties) the battle he loses the war. The movie is a fairytale about holding back the tide of hippies and the end of a Hollywood era. Bruce Lee doesn’t remain the sidekick on a one season…
