Shapiro and his ilk, more than anything, are a good proof of the insular nature of modern American conservatism.
One of the best things to come out of last year was the video of his infamous interview on the BBC, where one of their noted conservatives started to grill him. Shapiro was clearly unprepared for the…

Chinatown and Tess are two films that feel strange to look at in context since, in both cases, the rapist is depicted as evil and and the act itself as having long-term repercussions. It almost feels like there was some weird subconscious part of Polanski for a while there that was trying to come around to realizing…

If TGMD is transposed over any Simpsons, I nominate using the formula of Chief Wiggum, P.I. from the Spinoffs Showcase episode.

If we’re gonna keep plundering this, might as well at least use the good parts of the meat.

Is that chain of ‘Look how our campaign offices were vandalized!’ tweets still around?
Cause that seemed...suspicious.
Plus, highlighting the alleged message of ‘Eat the rich’ on your office in Flint, MI is a VERY special brand of ‘Didn’t read the room.’

With the second only being released because the studios waited until it had finished shooting to decide to sack the director, making the eventual cheap as balls release their “Sorry we fucked you over” peace offering.

Billy Connolly’s performance as Fergus alone is enough to keep Brave from being at the bottom for me.
Definitely a flawed movie, but not their worst.

His cameo in Home Alone 2 MIGHT be the closest he’s ever gonna get (unless you want to count the archival footage of him at the end of BlackKklansman.)

That said, as I understand it, a big part of that (both his appearances in general and why they’re mostly in shit) is because he has a policy that if a movie is filmed…

Oh, pretty safe bet regarding the bitching about Parasite being fed to him. The fact his counterpoint/ideal answer is Gone With the Wind gives the game away, since anyone with a base understanding of the man knows he wouldn’t be likely to make it an hour into that well-produced, but still uncomfortably rose tinted…

See, you mention Sandler in this light and now just remembering how he was Tarantino’s first pick for Donnie ‘The Bear Jew’ Donowitz in Inglourious Basterds.
Which would have been interesting, if a very different take from what Eli Roth did with it.

Not gonna lie, still a little disappointed he didn’t flip his shit and have a tantrum over the fact that Best Documentary went to the movie Obama helped back.
Felt like the idea of Obama being associated with an academy award winning film would have just been the perfect dash of salt in an open wound for the man whose…

This is part of why I’m convinced the title was suggested for him by Stephen Miller.

Of course, if Trump wants to prove me wrong, I’d be up for watching him try to watch all four hours, with intermission, without falling asleep or getting bored.

A Clockwork Orange comes to mind.
McDowell’s VO narration helps make Alex into, if not more likable, at least a more interesting brand of scumbag.

Still not over the fact Pacific Rim got beaten out by Grown Ups 2.

I mean, sadly, I’m not surprised by it. I’m just...disappointed, America.

The longer this plays out, the more I’m torn which outcome I want to be the case.
Either
1) it’s released, and save for a few hyped up fanboys, it underwhelms in a big way with even some of the cast admitting they were hyping it out of kindness for Snyder
or
2) WB goes “Alright, Zack, you win. Where’s the cut?” and…

Yes! Thank you!

I’ve been arguing for a while now that Snyder was born too late. Had he been working during the early hey day of the music video, he could have been something spectacular. Alas, as it is, some of his best scenes in his movies are basically just music videos with a lot of extra padded on the ends (ex.…

WB, look...Akira’s not gonna work as a movie. Even at two movies, it’s gonna be hard sell.
Just scale back your expectations and shoot for a 2-3 season TV series where you won’t be as obligated to ridiculous whitewashing and watering down the story for mass appeal and with the right stewardship, you could still manage…

As the saying goes “Hate’s a Hell of a drug.”

Now, now, let’s give the Dersh his proper credentials.

He DID also go to bat for Klaus von Bulow.
I mean, if you want to leave off his arguing it’s okay for the President to try and put his thumb on the scale because “he thinks it’s for the good of the country”, that’s kind of fair since that came after the video, but…

...I know you’re going Disney princesses route here, but I imagine this and I just want Marsden rallying them a la The Wicked Witch of the West
“Fly, my pretties! Fly! AHAHAHAHAHAAAA!”

and when they tried to explain that in their acceptance speech, they got played off.
It was a tacky move then and it only got worse after they went under.
