I mean, I think he expressed some loathsome sentiments but I’m NOT sure that puts him on the level of a rapist. If we’re talking levels. 

He’s 88; I was making a joke about him still making movies as a 98-year-old in 10 years.

A movie is made about a man transporting drugs for drug cartels (in real life the Sinaloa cartel who is known for beheading rivals and disolving them in acid). Reviewer criticizes movie for making minority-populated gang “loom menacingly”. It is as if he doesn’t know that the murder count in Mexico is the third…

Not a fan of his politics either, but I’d go so far as to say he’s one of the greatest American movie makers of all time. Once he hit his stride, he made some astoundingly great films. Million Dollar Baby and Unforgiven are masterpieces, IMO.

I can still jack to that!

Thank you!

All of what you say.

Shit, I just looked it up. So, in english, there’s the definition of “race” for human beings, and then “breed” for dogs and other animals.

Box office nerds of the Kinja, unite! What are your favorite crazy box office stories that would never happen today?

I think they were perceived as (mild) disappointments, but of course I think Lionsgate was probably happier with two “disappointments” that made a combined $600 million+ domestic than they would have been with a single…

As a box office nerd, 2000 is a really interesting one to me in terms of Grinch being #1 for the year for several reasons:

The framing in that second still is making me laugh, it looks like she’s in a fire extinguisher case that Jacket Phoneman is walking by. Break Glass For Tiny Lisbeth Salander In Case Of Emergency!

Midway through a think-piece comparing Hart with Kavanaugh, Mike D’Angelo admits that the analogy between Hart and Kavanaugh is “not exactly precise”. That’s putting it mildly. In the case of Hart, journalists literally *followed Donna Rice around* (without her consent) and staked out Hart’s townhouse. They caught…

Neither Damon nor Reiner are in the film.

They’re God’s Not Dead but for people with no identity beyond “self-proclaimed feminist” instead of evangelicals, right down to people saying they like them as a matter of identity.
