this feels like one of the last ‘weird expensive streaming shows’ before the belts all get tightened.

The Slap (meaning: when Smith got fed up with Chris Rock poking fun at his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith)

Plot twist - it wasn’t a stolen script, it was just the result of plugging ‘Antman Marvel Sequel’ into ChatGPT, and it just happened to match word-for-word.

But at least you got to learn all about the Cod Wars.

Raiders in ‘03?

Plus they had 15 seconds to show Sizemore, Sorvino and Dean.  Sizemore led a messed up life but was in some all-time classics and always brought it.  I agree that Heche might have been left out since she died committing a potential felony.

The most glaring omission? FFS, stop with the Charlbi Dean faux outrage. She was barely in any movies and the one she was nominated in this year 99.9% of the people bitching out her omission didn’t see it. I think it’s honestly an acceptable mistake. What’s not is forgivable is forgetting Paul Sorvino. Guy was a…

I’d like to remind you of a little film called Problem Child.

I’m sure they left out Heche because of the circumstances of her death. Same reason they left out Robert Blake. If you were famously a murderous shithead in life(Blake), or died doing something extremely shitty, endangering other people (Heche), you might not get honored.

I have to wonder if the circumstances of her death had something to do with it.  She very nearly killed people with her behavior, and that may have left a bad taste in people’s mouths when it came time to decide who to commemorate.  

The amount of regular people who feel very defensive on the behalf of rich celebrities about “nepo baby” is super weird

I remember him from his frequent appearances on the “Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.” He was a wild man, often drunk on those shows, and told all kinds of stories. He also came out as some version of queer on the show. He told Carson he went through a period of “wearing a dress,” and didn’t seem ashamed of it, even…

Ant-Man could have justified a third film.

She’s Regé-Jean Page. We’re told they’re a mega-star, and attached to project after project, but their resume so far is like... 1 show? (exaggerating, but... basically)

Yeah, it was driving me nuts. It’s like he was The Joker crossed with Two-Face but in the Dick Tracy universe.

A common theme of many of the films that have taken top awards only to be scrutinized anew with the gift of hindsight is the “white savior” narrative.

What’s wrong with that? As long as my butthead uncle lets me drive his Challenger once in a while, he’s OK with me.

She’s slipped right into that Amanda Seyfried “Make as many movies and as much money as you can, while you can” slot.

Top heavy, really. Orlando Bloom did a couple HUGE franchises in LOTR and Pirates. Keira Knightly did Pirates and some big Romance films (and sort of Star Wars). But not a ton past 2005.

Orlando Bloom started out very pretty but he lacks charisma, and has only an average level of acting talent. Once the prettiness faded, post Lord of the Rings, what he didn’t have became a lot more apparent.
