The scene with Fredo giving fishing advice to Michael’s son before (unwittingly) boating off to his death is heartbreaking.

I still can’t for the life of me ever recall a judge coming off the bench to hug a defendant convicted of murder. That’s a new one to me.

I had no idea they did Clint Eastwood reviews.

I guess Polanski was too busy. Seriously, why not invite Gloria Steinem to moderate.

Everybody seems to be dismissing this as just another example of, “Oh, look at the poor white guy. Boo hoo.” But this particular white guy really did get screwed over in a truly heinous way by the system. It is an interesting story and I can’t wait to see it.

I can understand watching them on YouTube. Trainwreck voyeurism and all that. But actually buying products from these obnoxious hustlers?

Seriously. 78 years old with a heart condition. I wouldn’t feel comfortable pushing him back to work in any job much less the whirlwind of running for and possibly becoming President. And yet we have millions willing to kick him back out on stage with nary a second concern to his health. Oh, he’ll be fine. Doctors are…

That would be nice. It’s lazy comedy. Unfortunately, a misanthropic subculture has popped up that thrives on that stuff and comedians have discovered them. And the comedians are happy to play to that crowd. Makes them still feel relevant.

I am curious about Clerks 3. The Clerks franchise is like the Before trilogy for slackers. I do wish he would retire the Jay & Silent Bob characters. Fifty year old man children who have dressed and acted the same for decades still dealing drugs in front of convenience stores? It’s just not cute anymore.

This whole thing feels like a 90s comic book adaptation. Maybe that’s the point. I just don’t know if ironic Joel Schumacher excess is my cup of tea.

Same. Also would like to add an all-time classic:

So the reason why black people were enslaved and a civil war and Jim Crow laws and lynchings and screaming at schoolchildren and murdering activists and busing crises and you know what? I’m just going to fast-forward as otherwise this would take all day. Police shootings and public racist rants and all the rest....all…

One of the things about de-aging is that just planing down the wrinkles on the face isn’t the whole thing. DeNiro’s face still has that old man set to it. Plus all the clips I’ve seen is that he moves like a 70 year old. You can throw as much rendering time at him as you want, but he’s always going to have a senior…

Given the track record of everybody involved, I’m going to guess that it will develop a cult following and possibly even become a critical darling. But it will continually struggle in the ratings because no laugh track to mark the jokes and the boomers need those desperately. (Plus in this case, we have a show about…

I thought it was fantastic too. Watched the first season over a week then the entire 2nd season on a slow Sunday. The cast is phenomenal. And that last moment of the finale. Perfect way to finish it.

Just going by the comments, you can tell that Republicans are so in our heads right now. Nobody on the Left can see eye to eye. We’re all wringing our hands about the next step to take. Here it is: President Trump broke the law. Congress needs to fulfill its responsibilities and impeach. That’s its job. Checks and…

You could probably take a couple of minutes to watch the trailer (or even read the article) to get your answer, but I understand the rush to post the hot takes.

This is a lot to unpack. Stanley Donen sees Michelle Johnson in a magazine ad and pursues her for the role. They find out she’s underage and instead of just recasting with an actress of legal age, they go to court because dammit he’s found his muse and he’s going to show her breasts no matter what. Found this article…

Ivanka and Don Jr. clearly loathe one another, which is perfectly reasonable considering they are locked in an epic and ultimately futile battle for their narcissist daddy’s approval.

Best way I’ve heard modern libertarians described is that they’re basically Republicans that want to smoke pot. You can go down the rabbit hole if you want more details, but that’s the gist of it.
