There was a bit more of that in other SW films. My favorite:

Just saw the film on PPV last night, and I, too, kept bumping on Malek’s seeming too short for Mercury (despite being an otherwise terrific performance).

Bryan Singer, for all his faults, was able to make Tom Cruise look non-tiny in VALKYRIE with casting and camera placement - why not here?

Michael Gambon was pretty great in the original GREEK MYTHS episodes too. So there’s precedent...

I didn’t find the initial report of the attack to be all that hard to believe. But things are certainly looking shaky now. That said. . .

That’s where I was - I read it as a satire of self-indulgent, Method-y actors. Downey’s character was the butt of the joke.

If this is wrong, is the MAD MEN scene with Roger Sterling performing in blackface - where other characters and the authorial POV are clearly critical of the act - also?

Or - speaking of MAD MEN -…

My understanding is the main reason Scott Glenn didn’t return for RED DRAGON was how disturbed he’d been by materials John Douglas (the “real” Jack Crawford) had shared with him during his research for SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. Glenn had no interest in getting back in that head space.

I can only imagine how much worse it…

I was SO sure Jesse’s MILF love was going to be part of the BB endgame. There’s a moment at the car wash late in the series when he and Skyler are looking at each other seemingly-meaningfully... I thought perhaps Skyler would try to manipulate Jesse into getting Walt out of her kids’ lives.

This. The reviews kept me away, but once I watched the film a few months ago I found it damned enjoyable. Gorgeous-looking to boot.

He’s grandfathered:

Hugh Jackman, pre-X-MEN, was basically an unknown. Unless you were a big fan of OKLAHOMA. . . .

It’s awesome. What comic is this?

Shatner claimed Cattrall hired a photographer and posed nude in the Captain’s chair in full Vulcan makeup. Nimoy went ballistic.

Quiet right on the “lock and load” scene. INSURRECTION is fairly decent until then. All downhill once they start evacuating the village.

Tell me about it. I’m behind on SUPERGIRL so have been avoiding those recaps, and I come here and BAM.

I fantasize about revising the 22nd to limit presidents to two consecutive terms. One term off and then you’re eligible again. Seems more reasonable than the absolute limit we have now...

I hereby start this week’s “Kether Donohue. . . DAAAAAAAMN!” thread.

And it has the best live-action Spidey costume yet. CIVIL WAR’s eyes were cool, but they lost me with the racing stripes.

Plus, the writer refers to them as “brainwashed SHIELD agents.” I thought brainwashed-Hawkeye and brainwashed-Selvig just hired a bunch of mercenaries. . .

Let’s see if I can get out of the grays. . .

All ROCKY movies would have been improved by more Duke.
