The original concept of Yesterday was more interesting than the version we got. In the original version, people still didn’t remember the Beetles and when the songs were released, nobody cared. This is probably what would happen since if someone released Love Me Do and I Want to Hold Your Hand now, the songs would be…

Ahh, I see your problem:  You’re not using Firefox.

Though, oddly enough, there were exactly the right amount of Ana de Armases in that movie.

I wrote a letter to 20th Century Fox jokingly annoyed that their trailer for Predators promised more predators than were delivered based on the number of red-dot-tracking lights that showed up on Adrian Brody’s face in the trailer. I demanded a prorated amount for each Predator they didn’t deliver and they sent me a…

It would have made more sense to sue the studio for tricking us into thinking that Paul and Ringo were going to show up on James Corden’s late show and accuse Jack of stealing their songs, when that turned out to be a dream sequence. Also for including James Corden in the movie at all.

They won the right to proceed with the case, I believe.

I’ve gotta be honest: I think Ed Sheeran in Yesterday is one of the few actually funny examples of “Celebrity playing themselves in a movie” that I’ve seen. When “Shape of You” starts playing, and it reveals that Ed Sheeran’s ringtone was HIS OWN SONG, it was genuinely incredible.

Misdirections in a superhero trailer are one thing. Excluding an actor who was in the trailer is another. I certainly wouldn’t have even thought of suing. But people should speak up.

I feel like that might just be the Pending button being all janked up, but it is kinda nice to not have to read about “cancel culture” or “the woke left” or all the other varieties of insane screed that occasionally accidentally get promoted.

Man, Kinja’s crumbling like the House of Usher the past few days. Guess we have to use manual quote marks like goddamn savages now.

I’ve never seen it, fwiw. As part of Kevin Smith’s latter-day output, it may not be essential viewing...

I’m not too sure about that. Through the lenses of the women (Peggy, Joan, Betty, and even Sally), Mad Men was just as much about what women had to suffer as it was about how badly men behaved.

[The concert attendee that Adele defended from the stage says that the people behind him who were bothered by his standing could have solved the problem by standing as well.]

well, she was in ‘yoga hosers’

At least once in American history, a conviction was later overturned. As a result, we can conclude that any conviction could potentially be overturned in the future, and we move that all convictions are therefore invalid.

I can’t answer your question about non-actors, but I will say that I’m pretty sure if she didn’t have Depp at the end of her name, she would be modeling at best. She’s not Colin Hanks.

The thought of a bailiff gagging Trump in court makes me happy because there’s a good chance it’ll really happen.

Well let’s put it this way, she technically isn’t any other type of entertainer the way Weeknd is a musical artist. But she is a pure nepo baby without a proof of talent in this field.

I think the cast of this show is delusional. You weren’t cancelled because your character was a douchebag. With the right material and actors, douchebags are great fun to watch. Al Swearengen, Joffrey Baratheon/Lannister, Don Draper, etc..

As someone who will watch a show even if the online critic types don’t like it for whatever reason if I enjoy it ... it just wasn’t that compelling. As a drama it was weak. The plot wasn’t super compelling. Frankly they should have done it as a black comedy.
