This is such bull, and just like so many other stories where we hear about layoffs or cutbacks because of “AI”. It’s just a scapegoat.

Kevin Garnett is incredible in Uncut Gems. I think it’s the best athlete-actor performance ever.

Right, it’s not sci-fi, it’s speculative fiction. Science fiction generally requires different technologies than we currently have available to tell its stories. Speculative fiction does not. That’s it. 

Eh... Pizzolatto is a blowhard and a one-trick pony, but the writing in S1 is significantly better than S2 and 3, mostly because he had a significantly longer time to work on it and iron out all the kinks. The pacing and structure work much better than in later seasons and that’s all in the script.

*gently, like Danny Tanner giving fatherly advice on Full House* Tim... *begin “lesson” music* you also comment on articles about YouTube videos on the internet. *warm smile* So it’s likely at least one of those is a lie. But that’s ok! We’re all losers here. Now, here *hands them a Mountain Dew Code Red*, wipe your…

Do they reveal that Bob never once paid for drugs?

I’m confused by the comparison, especially since Jackson:

“My hair!”

Idk what’s the need to physically de-age him? One he’ll be nearly unrecognizable in makeup. Two there’s no rule saying the undead can’t change in appearance - in fact they do all the time in the first. If you have to explain it, and I wouldn’t, just say he was punished with an aging spell or serum by some ghost he was…

It’s hilarious to me that just yesterday there was a trailer for Guy Ritchie’s next film (it was called... wait, what was it? The League of Unprofessional Assholes? *stops, looks up movie title* Ah, right, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare), which felt like it had exactly the same tone and visual style of Argylle.…

I like how ‘Invincible’ had Mark consider the name Ass-Kicker for one second before dismissing it as “wilfully childish”, which honestly sums up my feelings about a lot of Vaughn’s style (and, of course, that of Mark Millar, the originator of Kick Ass).

That’s a bit like saying Vaughn’s blander than Wonder Bread given that Ritchie himself isn’t as punk or whatever as he presents either. Not that you’re wrong about Vaughn.

Might be a hot take if it weren’t so objectively true. 

Idk if it's a hot take, but I think Matthew Vaughn is a decent mainstream director who desperately wants to be punk rock, but has nothing to say and no real style of his own. So he just comes off as a cheap Guy Ritchie knockoff.

TBH I really think Leon/JB saved the show. I don’t think it lasts another couple seasons, much less still being on in 2024, if they don’t revitalize the show with the Leon/Larry dynamic. And credit to Larry for recognizing that they needed something else to keep the show going. I’d say that post-Katrina season with…

Robbie’s Barbie was, for the most part, the straight-woman, setting up Gosling and to a lesser extent Ferrera, who get the big, broad and/or meaty stuff. Her Barbie doesn’t really get any big performative moments — in a different movie, the monologue about women’s expectations would’ve gone to her, not America…

Just here to say that Marlowe is an infinitely better character than Spade and any adaptation that makes Spade an interesting character is probably just grafting on elements of Marlowe.

Same. More interesting than Sam Spade, too.

Interesting casting, because I love Raymond Chandler’s novels and for years Owen was my fantasy cast for Philip Marlowe.

It’s difficult to give character the kind of depth that a 20+ ep series afforded. So we get stereotypes or a writer’s attempt to create an anti-stereotype or archetypes (which end up being a weid simulacra since few people know where old archetypes’ even came from).
