Yes! I’m glad someone remembers his Ultimates and how the quality slowly drained, artists were switched around, and eventually he was replaced. Always wondered about that one. Some really cool ideas in that one at the beginning

You could tell she was going to be a star when she was a kid in True Grit.

You have one friend too many.

The counsellor is criminally underrated. It's gleefully batshit insane from start to end. It deserves more love. I'll also die defending prometheus. 

As a millennial I'm just glad people are still thinking about us and that gen z hasn't yet stolen all of our press.

Here in Poland this got sandwiched between Dune, Venom and Eternals. I had no fucking chance to see it, even though I wanted to very much - arthouses barely played it because they wanted to get the Dune money and big cinemas just never give a fuck about smaller or weirder films (Neon Demon ran for maybe 3 days).

How do you create an environment on set to help actors work to their best potential?

RS: You make them work to their best potential.

That would kind of be the cliched way of going about it, though, wouldn’t it? If Succession is to rise above the fray, I’d actually expect Shiv to double down on her loyalty to Dad rather than making the sudden hero flip.

I really liked the direction and camera work here: more intimate close-ups, with scenes having a placid quality (belying the charged, brual content), the vibe of a European film.

Can’t fuckin wait for this. The reviews coming out on this make it sound like it’s probably sitting somewhere between Mary and Max and Don Hertzfleldt’s philosophical stuff.

I’m sure there is plenty of thinking about selling new funko pops/action figures/merch for character variants, but from a writer’s perspective these alternate universes are also one of the only ways you can write your own story at DC/Marvel from start to finish without worrying about interruptions from crossovers for…

Yeet the rich.

I get Renner may suck as a person, but he is a good actor, and does a fine job when they give he the space and dialogue, as seen in AoU, Civil War, and Endgame.

More like if your name were King and people called you Arthur. Or Elvis.

It’s not a new opinion, of course, but what he’s homing in on is still worth discussing as the genre only grows more popular:

Like a lot of common sense falsehoods, I think it’s got a seed of truth in it. I find it very easy to believe that some filmmakers who don’t have a recognizable name are finding it difficult to get the films they want to make made. Of course, it’s always very difficult for those people to get their films made, but it…

The Last Duel was the last good Ridley Scott movie. You know, from way back a month ago. Also, The Martian.

Crystelle’s TikTok has Lizzie as her bestie also, which only illustrates what I have suspected all along - Lizzie would be an amazing friend. 

Black Forest gateau (which, for whatever reason, is always called gateau and not torte or cake) was a British obsession in the 1970s which then became a national joke and has now returned to nostalgic fave. Every time a contestant does Black Forest, my English husband gets all excited about it. I made him a Nigella…
