The non-criticism “boring” always says more about the viewer than the work itself. Try better.

The thing I remember most about that movie is that the divorce didn’t really start out all that messy. It only got messy when a bunch of people outside the marriage told them it was going to get messy, some of whom benefitted directly from the messiness.

exactly...

I mean, yep. The movies have been increasingly micromanaged to fit into the expanded universe aspect.

I’m a little surprised that nobody mentioned Bert. He seemed in the most recent episode to suffer a pretty complete emotional collapse, finally realizing the state of his family and his own relationships. Not getting the homecoming that he expected in his hometown shattered the illusion he was living in. The trip that…

Marvel directors don’t trust me with scripts just because I have a face tattoo that reads “I LOVE TO SPY FOR DC” and another face tattoo that reads “PHOTOGRAPHING SCRIPTS WHEN NO ONE IS LOOKING SPRING BREAK 2011.” This is discrimination.

Is it weird that the whole “murder mystery” part of the show is what I’m least interested in?

Every day for the past two weeks something new has come out that basically pieces together the proof of what Tarantino was saying. This here is another indirect example of how the big IP franchise doesn’t let you be a “movie star”, but a carrier of the brand. In the MCU the actor is the brand first and foremost.…

I can’t help but think that it’s going to end up being like last season, where - for lack of a better descriptor - it’s “the poors” who are really in mortal danger. Last season, it was Armond who paid the ultimate price, but the other non-affluent characters were consistently left a little worse off than before the…

I like her, but generally we shouldn’t listen to multi-millionaires about their “problems”. Hey, my job doesn’t give me self-actualization either, but I don’t get a net worth in the 10s of millions out of it. Sometimes my employer doesn’t treat me how I wish but I don’t have a bed of money to cry into about it.

“I see your script is as big as mine. Now let’s see how you handle it!”

But I thought ‘La La Land’ won that year!? I remember it vividly because I was so disappointed that I shut off the TV in disgust immediately after the announcement.

I didn’t get to watch most of my screeners because my brother gnawed through the power cable to my blu ray player. R.I.P., Nosey.

Also Altman’s The Player (1992).

The Stuntman comes to mind as well, involving a tyrannical director who will risk the lives of his cast and crew to get The Shot, and after all that will still try to screw you out of your paycheck.

I for one am just grateful that the monarchy saw fit to recognize the critical contributions of Portland Trailblazers PG Dame Lillard.

An ode to cinema?  Hollywood will never go for something so blatantly obsequious!

I heart Olivia Colman but think I might prefer to watch Hot Fuzz again rather than this 

Ugh. Colman is a treasure and of course Roger Deakins is one of the greatest cinematographers ever to live, but is there anything more gratingly self-congratulatory than high-concept films about “the magic of movies?” Oh wait, and it’s also another reminder that Thatcher was bad? How very timely!
