Fuzzy handcuffs?

I also looked up the cast list on IMDB for the new Hellraiser (I haven’t seen the film), and there’s no character with “Gil” in the name. So I think you’re still not an actual movie villain, Todd.

The Signal is actually quite good by the standards of low-budget horror anthologies. Southbound (which Bruckner also contributed to) is a decent step above it though. I would certainly take both of those over VHS Viral. Actually, the most recent VHS also has only one standout segment, and that one doesn’t even fit the…

On the one hand, live-action is typically separated from voice-acting. On the other hand, Sorkin did basically invent the character and is thus the one who actually built the foundation.

If they’re lucky.

I guess every cloud has a silver lining then.

I see the ad didn’t break the numbering of the list this time. Can the AVC keep this up?

The closest comparison I can think of to that is Papa John’s, where the CEO did lose his job but he wasn’t sued and they were still able to sell pizzas.

I’m more skeptical that they didn’t know about him. He’d been working for a long time and accusations went way back.

Spacey isn’t accused of assaulting the producers of House of Cards, he got fired from the show. In order for them to sue him, I would assume it would require some basis in his contract rather than being some existing element of tort law.

First Reformed was the best film of 2018.

I didn’t realize you could have to pay your employers for the cost of firing you. I guess whoever at Netflix came up with his contract really knew what they were doing.

Which of the four Netflix projects are you not counting as a “critical smash”?

I don’t think Schrader worked on Fat City.

Should be “Paramount*” to match any synonym for film.

powerful politicians (JFK, 1991) and Vietnam heroes (Platoon, Born Of The Fourth Of July, Nixon)

I’m surprised Manifesto is at the bottom, given the stinkers directly above it.

Mile Kunis in Netflix’s Luckiest Girl Alive.

I’m famished for Flanagan horror movies. That’s what he’s good at, and I find annoying he’s succumbed to Netflix bloat more recently.
