As an Australian, I do apologise for Courtney – who’s a plank – and Worthington, who was momentarily interesting in Cate Shortland’s Somersault, and then wasn’t ever again.

I dunno. Just from the look of that byline pic, I’d be happy to take a swing at Barsanti – and he’s not 50.

He’s not wrong about the Alamo Drafthouse. I don’t need some hipster fuckwit being brought nachos and craft beer next to me while I’m trying to watch a movie. How this is sold as a “cineaste’s experience” is beyond me.

Weiss (much like Ringo Starr, oddly enough) is responsible for a number of incredibly distinctive, utterly singular beats that are nevertheless at the service of the song. This is one of them. And proof of her indispensability.

Yep. This is a disgraceful, mendacious review.

Well . . . no. Because black people exist – in large numbers, in a lot of places – and will enthusiastically buy movie tickets if a story actually bothers to engage with them. And only total pieces of shit will stay away because they feel offended by that kind of diversity.

Aside from the fact that ‘Eternals’ looks set to be a flop, if only by Marvel standards (it’ll make money, just not as much as everyone wants), I wonder why this writer believes that the company would have any interest whatsoever in ‘challenging’ itself.

She does snarl if I try to approach her . . .

My wife’s (surprisingly good) Vin Diesel impression consists of just looking at me dead-eyed and slack-jawed, and repeating FAMBLY over and over.

‘This is San Francisco, pilgrim, not New York. Dig?’

Doug Stanhope, as ever, had the best riff on this:

Williamsburg is Cunt Central.

As someone who’s been on round-table interviews with members of the HFPA, back in the day, I can confirm these are not exactly our best and brightest. The awards, like the body, is a fucking joke, and nearly as corrupt as the IOC.

Thanks. Seems like something a review probably should mention. But hey, what do I know?

So the episodes are an hour long, now? Instead of the 30' of the first two seasons? Are Kerrigan and Seimetz still directing?

Listening to Unwound’s ‘Challenge for a Civilized Society’ (which somehow totally passed me by) as I read your comment, I agree.

Or a chainsaw.

For some reason I’m imagining John Gielgud doing it. And it sounds pretty good!

In fairness, any line you gave Vin Diesel would sound like beans being shat out of a cow.

Hate to tell you, mate, but no one outside the US gives a flying fuck about Rotten Tomatoes, or its roster of D-grade, junket-whore shills.
