No, the full title is “Test Pattern”. Which is also the name of the band that contributed “Bite the Knife” to the Metal Massacre Volume III compilation.

I had the opportunity to watch an advance online screening of Master (though missing post-production work) but I got bored quickly and turned it off. Very different from watching a screening in a theater.

Every Matt Reeves film I’ve seen has been worse than the film it was an adaptation of or sequel to.

I only know his tv rather than his novels, but I don’t think Noah Hawley is a good writer.

“Brendan Fraser’s career revival continues with a starring role as a 600-pound man searching for his estranged son in Darren Aronfsky’s The Whale.”
Daughter, not son. I think she’s played by Sadie Sink.

“reinvigorated another exhausted franchise with his two Planet Of The Apes movies”
It was “exhausted” after Rise of the Planet of the Apes? Wouldn’t Rise be the film that “reinvigorated” the franchise?

“a much larger cast that includes Nicole Kidman, Willem Dafoe, and the Icelandic pop queen herself, Björk.”

The frequency of dictatorship is not determined by whether or not there’s a shortage of would-be dictators but whether the political context they’re in accommodates their ambitions. Sumner’s wife is from China and he’s been visiting for a long time, so he judges the country relative to what it used to be like.…

At best, Michael has a serious savior complex.

He didn’t just joke about her pregnancy making her look fat. As she had previously reported, he was angry at her for being pregnant because it interfered with the show and expected her to avoid that for his convenience.

The weird thing about people blaming Fox for canceling genre shows was that other networks wouldn’t have aired those shows in the first place.

I don’t like Whedon, but I don’t think it’s correct to say he “failed upwards”. He created multiple shows that were able to run for many seasons.

Josh Trank already tried body-horror in a superhero movie with his version of “Fantastic Four” that we’ll never get to see.

Fukuyama’s thesis—one that arguably seemed foolish at the time, and looks downright idiotic in hindsight

Vince Gilligan seems to be a genuinely nice showrunner. I don’t think I’ve heard any complaints about him.

What’s the worst of the recent horror movies you’ve seen? Note that I don’t merely mean recent to you, so if you just watched The House By the Cemetery (which is lousy, in my opinion) that would not qualify.

Ally Sheedy also played the protagonist’s mom in Little Sister:

I was under the impression this had already been reported before.

Audiobook version of what?

Many people with such politics have supported labor unions which pushed for them to get higher wages.

I don’t think Twitter determines what gets out of preproduction. But a high base rate of projects never going into production does make that plausible.
