No, they got him into one specific football college. He was already a star player when they let him move in. He’s said many times that the movie portrayal of that was fiction. He knew how to play and was on the team already when they met.
Oher and the Tuohys have apparently not been close for some time since they were not at his wedding last year.
I remember one of the accusations thrown at the Tuohys back then was that they’d just taken him in to steer him towards Ole Miss as a recruit. Turns out it might have actually been even worse than that.
Given that he found out about the conservatorship earlier this year in legal discovery rather than from them, I suspect they haven’t been on speaking terms for a while.
Something always seemed gross to me about that movie. At the time, I thought it was just the unpleasant stink of “white savior narrative + christian propaganda bullshit” wafting off the whole thing. Fun to hear that it was somehow much worse.
If they’d legally adopted him, he would be entitled to the same inheritance as their biological children. He probably only just found out that he wasn’t, so now he wants compensation for all the money they made off him. I’m sure he knew he wasn’t getting checks from the book/movie, but he probably didn’t worry too…
“No Way Home” gifted Sony with the narrative opening to create sequels to the Tobey Maguire franchise and the Andrew Garfield franchise. Sony’s so desperate to squeeze blood out of their Spider-Man rights, you’d think they’d pursue those instead of investing money an a standalone “El Muerto” movie. For a town so risk…
When Amazing Spider-Man came out, I remember my main takeaway: “Man, I really want a sequel with the same cast with a better script that doesn’t butchered in editing”
Sadly, it’s a deeply flawed movie, despite the performances and actors. It feels like a movie that was written by a committee, who then shot half of it, and then the committee ran off with the script, so a second committee met in the room where the first committee met, and wrote a new script based on the notes they…
She still has a lot of goodwill from Alias — the best thing J.J. Abrams ever did. Btw, that series is available on Disney+ now. I don’t know why they aren’t advertising that (or maybe I’m just the last to find out).
Sure, it fizzled a bit into the third season, but Jennifer Garner always gave 100%.
The Elektra film was shit, but that’s not on Garner. She was fine in Daredevil (which comes thisclose to being a decent film, but everything is executed just a little too shoddily to get over the line).
Shitty credit card commercials.
Accepted the check.
Considering Murdock is the current daredevil and people seem to like him, I doubt we will be seeing Affleck going forward. Even as a cameo.
Uhhhh... I hope they aren’t turning Deadpool 3 into a Member Berries cameo-fest.
What did she do to deserve this?
