Old & Busted: Marvel/Disney payola

His Metacritic page:

That is still the angriest I have ever been in a movie theater. By finally using the original title I knew they MUST faithfully adapt the ending, otherwise that title wouldn’t make any sense. Even the alternate ending doesn’t cut it.

Why “referred”?

“Anymore”? She wasn’t willing before either.

I recall now someone complaining that a guy the age of Cliff during Once Upon a Time in Hollywood would have been listening to older music like Sinatra rather than the hipper music of the 60s.

It’s gotten increasingly more of a hassle to copy image links, but hopefully this can embed:

The Hustons are somewhat unusual in that an older member won his Oscar via a film his son directed, a sort of reverse nepo baby.

Fincher uses digital for his period pieces, and people don’t complain because he does it very well.

I’m not actually seeing the picture described here, just one up top of her with the Grammy symbol.

Something that Mad Men, Masters of Sex, Marvelous Mrs. Maisel & Stranger Things have in common is that they all begin prior to the actual births of their creators.

I remember there was some sportswriter who got some notoriety not too long ago when he claimed to be queer, while also exclusively attracted to women.

Cop comedies are indeed a rarer breed, so it’s hard to say how their ratings have changed.

I was under the impression the UK still had cop shows, but not necessarily procedurals. Procedurals fit with 20+ episode seasons, whereas British shows tend to have much shorter “series”.

I suppose this is necroposting, but I don’t see how one can watch the movie and believe that Charlie can’t feel joy. His daughter evokes that in him. And the causality does not go from him being obese to being depressed, but rather from his depression (caused by the death of his boyfriend) to overeating.
