Interestingly, Nic previously said this:

Robert DeNiro has joined a TV project before, when David O. Russell was making one for Amazon Prime. That just never came together though.

The Germans weren’t really close (it wasn’t much of a priority for them), and the other Axis countries weren’t even in the running.

By tying with Zeitlin’s Wendy, this does at least halt the declining trend in AVC reviews of Peter Pan movies. Who would have expected a misfire like Joe Wright’s would still rank higher than the next two?

I wasn’t supposed to spoil this behind-the-scenes detail, but I am how he was able to film that mushroom cloud without any computer effects.

I think the invasion of Iraq outweighs every dumb thing Trump did in his term.

A member of the Labor Party.

Some lucky man will.

Cutting down the budget for A League of Their Own and giving it a four-episode wrapup is more than just cancelling it, which they could have done. My understanding is that it didn’t get nearly enough viewers to justify its price tag.

I liked his first Halloween film but the sequels were so bad I can’t believe they gave him another classic 70s horror property to run into the dirt. And didn’t the Exorcist TV series already do some of this premise?

The bomb would have eventually been developed with or without Oppenheimer, Nolan is exaggerating his importance. And he’s really banking on the historical ignorance of his audience to present as a mystery something known for so many decades, although I can’t say he’s betting wrongly (on the other hand, I expect a…

Your URL for “Alone at Night” contains “review”, but in fact there is no AVC review, nor even a wikipedia article for the film. Which means I still don’t know what makes it “meta”.

It seems a little bit strange to me that McAdams is first mentioned as starring in this when the title/POV character is played by Abby Ryder Fortson.

An interesting example since awards shows are determined by votes, and anonymous voters can’t be held responsible for said votes. I was referring to how he previously had TV shows and standup specials so that one could see him outside a live context, and he had made a movie which got picked up for distribution by The…

I think we’d need to better define the parameters of “cancel culture” before we can definitively say whether that example is inside.

People are interested in his comedy, which is why they’ll watch his standup (in-person). It’s larger organizations that can’t touch him, hence my note about cancellation being something a network does.

Spacey really don’t seem to be working at all in the US. I would also add that while Louis CK can do standup, it’s not comparable to what he could do prior to his downfall.

I knew “woke” came from AAVE, but “cancelled” sounds very white. I recall David Bax snarking that liberals on Twitter say “X is cancelled” or “Cancel X” whereas leftists like him say “X is a piece of shit”. Cancellation is something the network does to a TV show.
