Nic Cage started choosing his scripts for him....

This movie is bad but it sets up the sequel where Butler joins an elite, French weather tracking team. Can’t wait for 2019's Renault Alliance.

I think we should be clear that there are addictions of all kinds, and sex is one of them, and there are legitimate sufferers.

His wife leaving him after his own company fired him and the Academy expelling him was a nice little cherry on top. The LAPD formally investigating is just more marshmallow. Mmm, sweet marshmallowy goodness.

Are you kidding me? Get out of here with that bullshit. I can guarantee you it’s not the only experience like this they’ve had, and their careers would have been ruined had they gone public with it. Fuck you and fuck everyone else whose first thought in the face of blatant systemic exploitation of human beings is…

One of the most effective, nuanced, candid, insightful, and well composed of these horrible stories. Good on her for pulling back the curtain just a bit more.

How dumb could it be?

If you think Kevin Smith was a bad filmmaker between 1994 and 2004 it’s going to be tough to take your opinions on film making seriously.

It’s sort of interesting how responses to stuff like Chasing Amy have changed. Early on, people criticized it for suggesting that gay women could “change.” Smith just backed up that it was based on a real relationship of his and wasn’t meant to make a statement, other than that women can be complex. Now people give it…

Kevin Smith is not a great filmmaker, but he has always tried—with varying degrees of success—to feature women in really positive, and semi-progressive ways in his films. You should pretty much always be on their side in his movies. So, this feels really earned, at least.

I enjoyed it more than I exepected but there’s a lot more that could have been done with it. There are some intriguing ideas and plot threads that get tossed away way too quickly. It had the potential to be much better.

I’m right there with you. I will admit to also being a sucker for the premise - that plus the Blumhouse name was enough to get me into the theater. And I left feeling pretty positive about this - it’s more clever than it is smart, and I’m pretty sure I’ll never watch it again, but it was well-made and I’m excited to…

And the jokes are painfully based on truth...

I think a lot of what you’re describing is the modern Comedy Central roast style. Old school roasts had it better in that the roastee would actually be roasted by friends. There would be some stinging barbs, but it was all in good fun because there was love there. The Comedy Central style has one or two friends of the…

SOmetimes you strike gold with someone pushing against it, though. Norm MacDonald at Bob Saget’s roast still makes me laugh, and Patrice O’neal at Charlie Sheen’s roast had a knives-out honesty that comes from someone with no fucks left to give (Patrice gave zero fucks in general, but at that time his diabetes was…

Roasts are often totally garbage for that very reason. You’re supposed to say the nastiest thing imaginable just because. Courtney Love stands out here because she actually used this one as a chance to speak truth to power.

Even with her mental health/substance abuse issues, Courtney Love behaves a lot better than a lot of men in Hollywood.

Everyone who watched the returns on election night.

There is nothing good about this grief. :(
