In Bryan Fuller’s “Hannibal” he changed Margot Verger from a steroid-using body-builder to a lipstick lesbian, which he explained as wanting to avoid a certain stereotype but I thought was a missed opportunity to change up the show’s aesthetic a bit. I guess he thought her storyline in the season she was introduced…

I usually see it written as “cume”, even though “cumulative” doesn’t have an ‘e’ until the end.
There’s only one Scorsese and a ton of comic-book movies, so I was happy to get a Scorsese riff instead of computer animations fighting each other in third act.
I can confirm he does not. He dances a lot instead.
It was me. You know what you did, and now you know the debt is paid.
Didn’t Shakespeare invent Falstaff? Including him means you’re adapting Shakespeare, not history.
Maybe this is a movie for young people who don’t want to watch black-and-white movies starring a fat dude.
Clickbait websites have an incentive to hyperventilate, but a lot of this “panic” didn’t come from reviews but from news/opinion stories prior to its release.
I’d say he’s at least as much Trump as Hillary. He’s a long-time wealthy New York businessman with no prior history in politics, who throws his hat in the ring while making inflammatory statements about street-crime. I suppose Michael Bloomberg would be another New York mogul who went into politics, but people…
The Terminator is a killer robot and his interactions with John are largely used as a punchline. Being given orders as soon as they meet isn’t really “character development”, particularly as he doesn’t even kill people earlier in the film so as to prevent him from fulfilling his new good-guy role for the audience. Not…
Lucky McKee complains about that all the time. I sometimes wonder if Charles Laughton never directed anything after Night of the Hunter because he knew they wouldn’t be as good.
It just repeats beats from the original with added CGI, an annoying kid, plot holes, and removes character development.
It had the best element of Better Off Ted in a somewhat similar role, so I’ll give it that.
Amantha was great enough on Rectify to overcome her silly name. I watched the first season of Timeless (or at least most of it) and I’m willing to give her a pass on another silly genre exercise.
I feel like the end of the third season completely faded from my memory.
Thomas Wayne isn’t all that likeable in Joker, but most of his reactions are fairly reasonable. In a less screwed up Gotham he’d be like Howard Schultz rather than such a hate-sink.
I watched Sorry For Your Loss in anonymous mode. You don’t actually need an account for it.
Tom Waits’ own Tom Waits impersonation really took a shift after he started listening to Captain Beefheart. I thought Fred Armisen did a pretty good version in the Talking Heads episode of Documentary Now.
The climax of this film actually involves a discussion of the subjectivity of humor, as nobody agrees with Arthur about tragedy experienced by others being funny.
