Enjoyed reading this, but you should watch more X-Files if you remember it as “completely jokeless”. Look for episodes that were written by Darin Morgan.

Ditto. Why?

This was rather good, so I expect AVC to fire Todd within the next few weeks.

Ray has already got the murder part out of the way! 

While Gutierrez-Reed is probably right in considering herself a scapegoat for a production that went off the rails in terms of safety, there’s also this:

Meanwhile, a 35 year old Michael Cera despondently lowers his head directly on to his cafeteria lunch tray.

You had me at “Zendaya is in an adult film”

This is from the Hollywood Reporter piece:

That person’s entire job is to evaluate whether their studio is likely to lose money or make money by purchasing the rights and spending money on P&A.

For the people who decided they did not like “Beau is Afraid” without seeing it, I can tell you this from experience: seeing it will not make you like it more.

The problem with Spacey is that he’s a great actor. If he was merely mediocre then there wouldn’t be this horrible ambivalence about his work.

I know she wasn’t No. 1 on the call sheet, but my first thought was that girl who played PT Barnum’s ~10-year-old daughter in The Greatest Showman. You could tell instantly that she’s an egomaniacal monster.

It's a glorified cameo. Just the opening scene. Most of it was in the trailer. Even cavill has about 10 minutes of total screentime. 

They have gotten there money's worth out of that yellow dress.

I wondered about that. Whether it’s good or bad, the trailer’s have certainly been making a big deal of her being in this, so I thought it would rate a mention.

George Carlin was the first episode host.

I tend to like Billy Joel. But honestly, I find the idea that he’s above criticism tougher to make sense of than people not liking a random artist from 40-50 years ago losing popularity.

This looks like my golden opportunity to ask something I’ve been wondering about for years: Why does a very substantial portion of the pop culture commentariat have such a virulent hatred of him?

I’ll give you that. LTZ is one of those ‘great but I never want to see it again’ movies.
