His position just seems to be “I made the best movie I could, some of the decisions were hard, and I don’t want to be constantly reminded of or debating the good stuff I had get rid of as part of that process. The easiest way to make sure that doesn’t happen is to keep it to myself.”

I get that it’s a minority view…

woosh.

I’d rather the director make decisions like this for creative reasons, either way, than the studio doing so in the name of profits.

what’s not to understand? it was his decision and he made it. it doesn’t have anything to do with anything else.

It sounds like this is just an adaptation of the first book again. Highsmith wrote a whole series. The first book has been filmed twice (1960 as “Purple Noon” with Alain Delon as Ripley and in 1999 with Matt Damon), the second book once (in 2005 with Barry Pepper), the third book twice (in 1977 as “The American…

Assuming this is shown in theatres, I advise anyone interested in this movie to watch it there. I chose to rent Talented Mr Ripley rather than seeing it in the theatre, and almost as soon as I put it on, my mom came home and insisted on watching it with me.

Ahem...Saltburn got its Ripley on, thank you.

Came here just for this. The whole season finale episode you don’t understand how Jack’s “flashback” scenes fit into the timeline of everything and you’re trying to pin down his bearded alcoholism to dealing with his divorce or father issues or whatever, and figure out when/how he cleaned up before the flashback…

Not even an honorable mention for LOST? The “we have to go back” twist that seemed like a flashback, and was in fact a time jump, was pretty amazing. And the show, for all it’s problems, had a ton of time jumps to choose from. I mean there was was even a full season about fixing two disconnected timelines.

Condolensces. I’m sure he delighted many audiences. May he RIP.

“ABC News reports this weekend that Neeson’s remake of the long-running cop comedy franchise has now been officially set for a July 2025 by Paramount Pictures, with The Lonely Island’s Akiva Schaffer directing.)”

If you are ever in Washington, you can read the saying on the IRS building itself — “Taxes are what we pay for a civilized society”. As for companies blocking the IRS from making filing taxes easy/automatic (the way they are in nearly every other country), yes, H&R Block does play a role, but far more so the problem…

I dunno, she looks serious.

They don’t ignore anything, they ignore pretty much everything.

Can we stop with the ‘why don’t you do your job, pop culture website!’ complaints already? That ship sailed a long, long time ago. You’re just hurting yourself at this point.

They’re not evil. The price of living in a civilized society is paying for infrastructure and services for the public good. The IRS is the service set up to ensure the payments are made. If we lived in a country where H&R Block did NOT have Congress by the testicles, the IRS would do your taxes for you (they already…

I would love to see a return to the Police Squad! version of Drebin rather than the Naked Gun version. The show was drier and delivered much straighter, like Airplane!. I enjoyed the Naked Gun films a lot, don’t get me wrong, it’s just that they went kind of broad with the comedy in a way that felt like a step down.

Ha. More morons crying about diversity. What did Perry White’s race have anything to do with his character? You really need a white guy as your editor in chief? Remember when Billy Dee Williams played Harvey Dent in Tim Burton’s Batman? Did people cry then? No because now you rightwing nutjobs are the biggest lil…

I love the first two films , one as a goo 80s sci fi movie , and one as a beutiful if shallow audio video experience (especially in 3D)

Does anyone remember? Yes.
