Yup! One hundred percent! Think about your favorite rock stars from the 70's, when groupie culture first kinda got big. They most likely had sex with teenagers on the road, and guaranteed at least some of them were underage. Lori Mattix lost her virginity to David Bowie at 15. Prince’s first wife Mayte wasn’t even out…

I don’t know about that...day players and stand-ins hanging around with the kid cast should set off alarm bells. Hanging around with adult cast is completely different.

Interest was flagging before the Majors story hit, he’s just a perfect scapegoat to attempt to change course

he is though. I mean he was brought back multiple times like loki. I’d say recast. wouldnt be the first time. I mean, both Edward Norton and Terrance Howard

They’d rather drop the whole thing and write off as much as they can for tax purposes than acknowledge that Jonathan Majors had any part of the MCU. Keeping Kang in his current state would mean that Major’s roles are canon to the current MCU storyline.

Just recast Kang. We’ve already seen that he can take many forms as seen in the Council of Kangs scene.

R.C. Pro-Am?!?

There was an interesting bit in the article about Rider Strong detailing how Peck presents himself when meeting people.

So I just listened to the whole episode, and one thing they discuss comes to mind.

Back in the late 90s and early 2000s, “Jailbait” was a concept that was freely thrown around, and it almost always blamed the younger person involved. So in the case of Peck, at the time, people thought, “Well, he’s just doing what…

I mentioned this in my own comment, but it’s believed the reason they are talking about this is that it is going to be brought up in Quiet on the Set and the rumors make it sound like the filmmakers are minimally side-eying those who supported them even though they were also largely minors and very young adults.

The most depressing thing about their podcast is that you have a cast of kids who came through seemingly relatively unscathed and then you realize just how much trauma they were put through. There’s a rumor that they are going to get dragged on Quiet on the Set for having supported Peck. I really hope that those…

This kind of reminds me of what happened with Danny Masterson, except everyone involved in that were grown adults who really should’ve known better.

Excuse me, I need to go throw up.

His IMDB bio says that he “frequently collaborated with Bryan Singer an Dan Schneider.” I’m willing to wager that doesn’t just refer to film and TV projects.

“No, it’s you that doesn’t understand” seems to be the default take of Nolan supporters, not the far more obvious take of “dude isn’t as clever as he thinks”.

That’s my pick for second-most-annoying backstory explanation. I can see you’re not exactly enamored of it either.

THEY “EXPLAIN” WHY HIS LAST NAME IS SOLO. FOR FUCK’S SAKE. LITERALLY NO ONE WAS SITTING AROUND WONDERING WHY HAN’S LAST NAME IS THE SAME AS A WORD MEANING “ALONE.” IT WAS JUST A COOL SPACE NAME. JESUS. GAH.

Here’s a take: he’s never really topped Memento.

On the whole I enjoyed Solo, but its insistence on explaining so much of Han’s backstory that didn’t need to be explained grated on me, with its insistence that no, he really did do the Kessel Run in under (not “order”, oy) 12 parsecs being only the third most annoying backstory patch job. But I will admit that I…

Back when the Film Club podcast was still running (sign), A.A. Dowd said that “Tenet is the kind of movie that Nolan’s detractors accuse him of always making” and I think that sums it up pretty well.
