I think there’s a big distinction between a person who had a massive amount of success and then decided to spend a lot of money on something only of interest to them (James Cameron does deep sea exploration), and a fraud.

I would say he’s also very quick-thinking (even if the quality of that thinking leaves much to be desired).

Holmes & Fried qualify as frauds (although I don’t think Fried’s wealth could have just been chalked up to fraud). But Zuckerberg is a different case. He’s not in any immediate danger of losing everything, and Facebook is still a massively popular site however much we might wish otherwise.

Go ahead and try to become as rich as Musk by taking credit for the ideas & work of other people. I expect you’ll find it difficult.

There would also be a trace of residue from firing a handgun. No need to solve the crime right then, just wait for the police to arrive and do some forensics.

It’s possible that he doesn’t (he’s presumably wealthy himself now), but how well do you think his movie would be received if the message was “You, the average movie-viewer, is the moral and intellectual inferior of a wealthy celebrity such as myself”?

I thought it was dumb: how did that idiot manage to take over a huge corporation (was the co-founder EVEN DUMBER?), and why would Blanc even be necessary when the cops should have already been on to him?

Hanks may play a gangster in Road to Perdition, but he’s not THAT bad a guy. It’s like a Lone Wolf & Cub movie. My understanding is that in The Circle (who remembers The Circle? I admittedly never watched it) he plays more of an antagonist.

I tried watching Veronica Mars years ago and got repulsed by the highschool angle, so I don’t think I got to her investigating a homicide.

It’s not quite a remake of Gran Torino if the protagonist REJECTS suicide...

I just watched it today. It was alright, but I prefer the original Knives Out. And if any Netflix employees are reading this, I’ll be watching White Noise at the end of this week to complete a trio of movies added to the service this month (Emily the Criminal was yesterday), then pairing Bardo with Jeanne Dielman…

Unfortunately, the title “Chicago” was already claimed for an Oscar-targeted film. But I suppose there’s still Cleveland & Cincinnati in Ohio alone (Columbus was already taken by Kogonada relatively recently).

Chazelle’s problem is that he’s inspired by earlier directors inspired by cocaine, like Martin Scorsese & Paul Thomas Anderson, rather than opiate users like Abel Ferrara.

Yes, I’m aware she didn’t actually say that, and she’s deliberately giving an extreme example, but that extreme example makes the opposite point of what she intended. You can say it’s “never okay to sexualize a child” but if a child actually is behaving inappropriately (and we don’t know specifically what she did in…

If a child says “Eat my pussy right now” in an audition, you definitely should not cast that child and should tell their parent they were behaving inappropriately. Of course, we don’t know what she actually did in the audition, and perhaps the director really was being unreasonable, but I think any reasonable person…

Amsterdam & Babylon: both named after Old World cities despite mostly taking place in the US. The former bombed and the latter appears to be underperforming. Logically (and alphabetically), her next movie should be titled “Canberra”.

If you’re so tired of talking about it, then why did you create this article?

If someone had asked me who the most popular person in pop culture was, I never would have guessed “Keke Palmer”. Nope wasn’t even that big of a hit.

The Big Sleep begins with Marlowe being hired by a wealthy man to deal with a blackmailer. The obvious reason why he is relied on rather than a police officer is to keep the blackmail material hush-hush. In The Maltese Falcon the police suspect Spade is responsible for the death of his partner. There is an in-story…

When has a teen ever tried to unravel a homicide case by themselves?
