She may be an Oscar winner and one of the great actors of her generation, but she never won at Numberwang.  

Sadly, it comes down to probabilities and statistics, which is why most people don’t really understand.

Get the vaccine

Whose imposing anything? Ice Cube made a choice not to get vaccinated. This production chose not to hire him because of that choice. No one was forced to do anything.

Having lost my father to COVID in the early days of the pandemic, I’m not sure words exist to convey just how little sympathy I have for this selfish, abhorrent nonsense. I get that people have medical freedom, but if someone won’t get vaccinated (without a legitimate medical exemption), then for the love of god, shut…

Right. It’s a cute piece and gives us all a moment to reminisce about a classic movie. I’m all for this.

lot of dissenting opinions here but this is exactly the kind of piece i used to see on websites all the time and love reading. it’s airy, it’s fun classic internet nit-picking.

We know it’s not a red herring because Rocco tells Valentina in the first episode that there are “more dead guests.” Granted, initially that didn’t count Lucia and Mia, but now they’re on the guest register and their deaths would make Rocco technically correct.

“the cinema of the 70's, which he idolizes, was on its way to killing the entire industry”

eh, I hate QT myself, he’s massively overrated and 90% of his movies suck imo, but even a broken clock is right twice a day. We both know criticizing the dominance of generic CGI corporate entertainment products masquerading as movies is not about “diversity”.

Tarantino is probably as fully-steeped a cinephile as there is working today, with an enthusiastic and encyclopedic knowledge of film. So if I’m going to listen to anyone ruminate on the history of movies, it’s going to be him even if half the time he’s just stirring up shit for fun.

Those aren’t his two top picks. Those are just two movies he recently said he liked, in separate interviews, completely unrelated to this podcast. The author is trying to draw a connection here and doing a lot of editorial hypothesizing. 

I don’t think that’s actually the defining feature of these eras of cinema.

You are talking to a boring Marvel superfan asshole. He’s only mad at Tarantino and Scorsese because he knows they are 100% right about his shitty baby brained movies.

Or he just doesn’t like the pervasive nature a handful of IPs have on the industry. It’s an opinion about movies dude. Why do you have to turn it into a personal judgement?

I feel like you snarky asshole commenters should do the same...

I used to think “money can’t buy you happiness” was nonsense to keep poor people in their station, but Elon Musk has so much money and spends all his time arguing with people online and desperately seeking validation that he’s cool. He’s truly miserable.

How can you say ‘Artless’? He’s the main antagonist.

It is, though.
