My favorite Sutherland random role:

RIP. Random roles for which I will remember him:

I don’t think anyone with a chronic illness is surprised by any of this. People love to ask how you’re feeling so that they can congratulate you on being brave/a fighter/etc when you politely just say “fine” and downplay things. People don’t like when you actually acknowledge how much it fuckin’ sucks because that’s…

Can’t blame her at all. MS sounds like utter hell.

Agree completely. The movie is only fitfully funny with some real groaners. The best jokes have little or nothing to do with Star Wars. The most inspired gag is the bad guys consulting the video tape of Spaceballs to find out what happened to the heroes.

I don’t think that will be an unpopular opinion. I’m squarely in the demographic and loved it as another overly silly Brooks production (the opening shot of the cruiser passing overhead, mocking the beginning of Star Wars, is a prime example of funny, silly, not funny, back around to being funny again humor) but have…

Unpopular opinion: Much like the Star Wars franchise, itself, Spaceballs isn’t that great, overall, but it’s benefited from nostalgia as its primary audience first watched it when they were teens or younger. It features some gifted comedians and has a few good gags, but most of it plays like a bad SNL parody, and it…

Needs a better title, too.

When you become the butt of your own joke.

And one of the best showcases for Franka Potente, one of the great down to earth and yet ethereal movie stars 

The movie also provides a nice little snap shot in time of post-unification Berlin when it was still in its Bohemian stage. 

Run Lola Run is one of the few German films to briefly capture American pop culutre’s attention back then so much that even The Simpsons and a few other shows did parodies of it.

Anyone who uses the term “TDS” unironically is not a serious person. An idiot, if you will. 

Stewart didn’t need to call Andrew Sullivan a racist, Andrew Sullivan answered the questions Stewart asked and came across as the out-of-touch accidental racist middle-aged white man that he is. Not being personally racist is all well and good, but you also can’t deny institutional racism, and the residual effects of i…

James Corden may beg to differ on that.

Three words:

“You play in a police band?”

I haven’t seen Luca, but Turning Red was a blast, and I liked, Soul, too.

I think it’s a mixture of big Broadway stage musicals and Disney. “Up There” is definitely a “Disney” song.

Man-servant Hecubus already spoiled this book/movie for me many years ago.
