I thought I read somewhere also that his roles in recent years were chosen more on the basis of just acting while he still can, so it looked like more quantity over quality.

This is awful. Poor guy. In his prime, he was a true talent full of charisma.

Jesus, that sounds fucking horrible.

I don’t know what the issue is. He’s an acclaimed director who just made an acclaimed film, one that this publication in particular named the best of 2022 (IIRC) - why wouldn’t they interview him?

I strongly disagree.

People do actually like things about good work, you realize.

Counterpoint:

I know you didn’t mean to do it, but you can’t really compare the role choices of Brian Cox and Harrison Ford to those of The Rock and John Cena. Of course the former pair regularly gets the kind of role that they’ve proven they can easily crush, but both of them have also taken on characters that were smarmy,…

I think the thing with Bautista is that the dude has had a *life*. Like, he’s able to reach some deeper emotional depths and express that vulnerability because he has legit pathos in his past, going back to when he was a kid (he grew up poor, witnessed murders in his rough neighborhood, got bullied because his mom was…

wait; did you get that the guy doing this is doing all the shows of the radio as characters and does this as a joke? even if it’s a stupid one

I felt episode 4 was a bit weaker, it felt a bit rushed (the setup took also a bit longer than usual). Also musically it is indeed all over the place; their hit is in an entirely different genre than all the other songs we hear (some kind of grandiloquent and a bit ridicule metal); and both this supposed hit and the…

If you look closely toward the end of episode 4 when they pull up the podcast that exposes the criminals, one of the other podcasts visible on screen is “You Must Remember This,” an amazing podcast about Old Hollywood produced by Karina Longworth, Rian Johnson’s partner. Which just made me “awwwww.” So cute of him to…

The math is: Poker Face = 2/3 Columbo + 1/3 The Incredible Hulk.

All the reporting I’ve seen indicates that the key conflict was between Lord and Miller (who had a more improvisational, comedic sensibility) and screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan (who saw Han as a darker character). It sounds like you really think Howard screwed it up, so maybe your blame should go there.

I mean, there’s a guy on the planet Arrakis called ‘Duncan Idaho’, and instead of running some sort of roadside attraction like his name would imply, he’s actually a super handsome swordmaster.

He was initially raised by the skeleton crew of human scientists and researchers left on Pandora, who nicknamed him Spider. It’s all covered in the movie (in about 15 seconds near the start.)

“Based on the BBC anthology series of the same name”

So why wasn’t Rhea Seehorn nominated? Why are her contributions to Better Call Saul so consistently undervalued by awards shows? 

That Banshees film was great. It should win everything.

I’d be happy if Everything Everywhere All At Once and Elvis didn’t win anything. Liked both films but not awards worthy. They’re flabby and boring in places.
