Wrong in both cases. Fitting with a trend that Tom Breihan pointed out on this site with James Cameron’s script for Rambo, transforming a property into a dumb action vehicle.

I would have expected that for Murphy, who’s played villains in a number of films. Robbie on the other hand, plays innocents or anti-heroes the audience is supposed to root for. But any individual’s perception is subjective.

It said they considered de-aging him, and the implication is that this would have been done if they’d gone with de-aging the cast at all. Admittedly, I haven’t seen the film, so I can’t speak to how the scene actually plays out. I do have to say that I’m intrigued at the idea of a Tony Scott Mission: Impossible, even…

I hadn’t heard about priests abusing young women.

Yup. He started out in short stories, then wrote a few standalone novels before the failure of the last one drove him to TV. He’d never written a novel series before and figured he could wing it. His “gardening” stance of not planning too much at the beginning and losing interest once he knew the end might have fit…

The Batman is the only one I’ve seen in that list of 165+ minute movies, and now I can’t remember why it was so long.

I think his publishers can no longer make him release anything earlier than he wants to. He didn’t want to split A Feast for Crows off of A Dance with Dragons, but he was late and they were insisting so he gave them the characters he’d finished. He didn’t want to release A Dance with Dragons without a number of…

High-Rise isn’t any more American than Sightseers, nor is Aeronauts more than Wild Rose. Actually, the latter is more American than Aeronauts since Jessie Buckley’s title character complains that she should have been born in America as she strives to get to Nashville (and eventually makes it there), with the…

It implies nothing. Although it is slightly odd that the sub-header mentioned 4 names, but the image only contains three (the missing one being Ava DuVernay).

William Friedkin? He hasn’t made a narrative movie since Killer Joe back in 2011. Now he can claim to be more productive than George R. R. Martin.

Ben Wheatley has already made a great movie: Sightseers. I would also recommend A Field in England, but that’s weird enough to be more of a niche taste relative to his serial killer comedy.

Tom Harper’s Wild Rose is surely more notable than The Aeronauts (much less some episodes of British TV). That film’s “Glasgow”…

My recollection is that the photo didn’t consist of notes, outlines (which he claims not to write, perhaps a reason why he’s been flailing for so long) or contain such replacement indicators. It was just regular text. “Fully usable” is subjective though, and we know from his account of writing  A Dance with Dragons…

If you’re George R. R. Martin, why are you commenting under the name “Benj”?

I won’t go so far as to say he hasn’t written any pages (he’s presented some unpublished chapters and there are photos of his computer screen containing stuff he’s writing), but the amount of time between books keeps going up, to the point where he can no longer be expected to finish. I think he screwed up a long time…

He hasn’t written an episode of TV since “The Lion and the Rose” aired back in 2014. The Hedge Knight TV series is going to be based on novellas whose most recent entry is from 2010. And for all the complaints people have about his involvement in the Wild Cards anthology series, the last story he actually wrote for it…

Dune has multiple endings. If Herbert wrote another book, it could have jumped ahead thousands of years like God Emperor of Dune did.

Yeah, I could buy Cillian Murphy as Oppenheimer even if he kept the same weight from Dunkirk. It’s not like the thing he’s famous for is being emaciated.

Florence Pugh can’t catch a break.

Certainly there isn’t a calculator for it like inflation.

With that far back, wouldn’t you need to adjust for inflation?
