To me it only matters if you suck and really truly only have your job because of your famous relative.  Like Bronny and Lebron James

Emma Roberts doesn’t have to prove herself “more.”  She’s a middling actress with a solid career based on looks and connections.  She’s skated by on being just good enough and will continue to do so for the rest of her career. 

I’ve posted this before on either AV or io9, but years ago, someone on the interwebs had an idea I read for the end of Endgame that a portal should have opened and the Fantastic Four emerge and ask, “What did we miss?” Then the story of their standalone would be set in the 60s and they get lost in another dimension…

I watched that thinking it would be hilariously bad and ended up loving it. You still can’t convince me Affleck was under that sheet the whole time though...

Oh yeah! Rivers Cuomo even wrote their biggest hit, but Cold was kinda worthless other than that. No idea why they thought Weezer’s audience would love them. Would go over like a lead balloon.

Evans wanting to move on from Cap was understandable. But to follow that role with Ghosted, The Gray Man, and this? Less understandable.

What a weird tearing apart of what is ultimately a harmless movie.

You calling them “crotch fruit” makes me understand why you would complain about the price.

You see, that one he was playing Dracula’s semi-willing servant, where this one he’s playing the… cuckold? This seems like a prequel of sorts, where he’s playing a Harker-esque character going through a similar situation before the events of the novel.

Was he the only one who agreed to show up for this award after they offered it to 57,293 other actors?  Or did he pay to create an organization to give himself an award?  

But it’s the Farewell Tour! Your last chance!

When the Go-Go’s released their documentary, they used the press as a platform to get into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Sheryl Crow flat out stated that she agreed to a documentary so she too would have a better shot at getting into the Hall of Fame (she did BTW)

I think The Slap may force Smith into the trajectory that Cruise ultimately took up when, despite numerous nominations, he figured just couldn’t win an Oscar and decided to give up on acting and focus on being a movie star.

Ya know, I really enjoyed the last one. Most of those generation gap plot movies are shit, but BB4L really it handled well. 

Think you’re right, actually. Cashed in on that self-imposed scarcity value. Henley and Frey didn’t kill each other, and everyone made a lot of money.

I loved Onward, and I still feel that Brave is one of Pixar’s best movies. But the last few years? Yikes. Elemental wasn’t just bad for a Pixar movie, it was legitimately awful. My kids couldn’t even finish it. The person responsible for The Good Dinosaur probably shouldn’t have been given another movie to direct.

It’s also worth noting that in this case, the story that has “mass appeal” is the one about the emotions of a white American girl, in contrast to some of the content of Pixar’s previous releases. (Turning Red’s protagonist was Chinese-Canadian; Lightyear featured the studio’s first same-sex kiss;

I hold particular personal disdain for Monsters University and Incredibles 2 because they make such boring broad story choices in such interesting worlds but I agree that it's not badly made

Down.

I think there’s also the point that Springsteen—or Born in the USA—didn’t fit in anywhere. I was 13 or 14 when it came out and most boys my age were stuck on Led Zep or Pink Floyd and the whole AOR Rock Radio thing or were just getting into hair metal. Springsteen has always been kind of an anomaly. Is this a guitar…
