And which probably inspired the show “The Good Place”.

Id also recommend Defending Your Life as a romcom that both honors and subverts the genre while being wrapped in a really fun high-concept fantastical package.

I’m a big romcom fan, but I have a bit of a different perspective.

I was only ever really familiar with her big hits (my favorite being Trouble way back), and recently decided to listen to a few of her albums. She’s so wordy! She reminded me of Eminem, always trying to fit in that extra lyric because they think it’s just too clever to take out. Felt so corny to me at times. Like…

It's sad that such a serious subject is being tackled by ID, which can't help but sensationalize even when presented with a legitimate story. I don't agree with all her points, but yes, it's clear that the methods used by the directors are much more in the reality TV vein than serious documentary filmmaking.

They should have just adapted this Key and Peele sketch.

Child acting = Child labor. It’s strange we gloss over that just because it’s creative. When children are viewed as coworkers, employees, underlings, etc. instead of children, bad shit happens.

It’s interesting, because I think the failures have been more on the high-profile organizational side - failures of organizations like Times Up. But I think it’s profoundly shifted the industry, even if it hasn’t unmasked every PoS in it (and there are a lot!). The people at the top will sadly always be more…

This.  It’s about money pure and simple.  MJ is, or at least was, the highest earning dead artist out there, so you have to nip all this talk about his crimes in the bud, or sooner or later all that valuable IP will become as radioactive as, say, the Cosby Show.

There’s been a push by the Jackson estate recently to rehabilitate his image post “Neverland”. I grew up with MJ, I fucking loved him and his music, and I understand separating art from artist. I even have my personal theory that all of his substantial childhood trauma resurfaced after the Pepsi hair incident and…

Something was weird about all of this, and it feels like they were going to fire Barrera anyway and used the Palestinian stuff as a ridiculous smokescreen. Sequence of events is likely:

Patel as Bond with Ritchie directing. Trust me.

I mean, this is a strained analogy, but if we want to frame it in that manner, it’s actually more like a striking worker returning to work after getting the better contract they struck for.

Tbh Gosling's never really found the right collaborator who understands how to maximize him. He could really use a Scorsese to his Leo - I don't think Wendng-Refn or Chazelle really "get" him. Sadly, I feel like Greta could've been that director, but she's going to be off with Narnia for a while. 

yeah 3 is REALLY brutal. i wonder if that was another reason they cut down on password sharing, so that they could also ‘massage’ the data like that. 2 birds one stone.

Lol this is so hilariously dumb it’s hard to know where to start, but it’s actually good to hear this from a director so people start to realize how stupid Netflix’s claims generally are. But 3 main points:

Y’all, you don’t even know if she’s going to talk a bunch about Mulaney in the book! From the blurb, its partly about her psychiatric care, and when it talks about the men her life, references: “unrequited love in high school; the twenty-eight-year-old she lost her virginity to when she was sixteen; the frustrations…

Some of these dynamics aren’t that shocking—it was clear pretty much by season 2 or 3 that the “best friends” thing was a schtick. They’re coworkers. And that’s fine! Sometimes coworkers get petty. Not particularly shocked that JVN is all drama and not as sunny off screen, but it’s disappointing to hear how bad it…

I legit don’t understand the acclaim for her acting — from both women and men, so it's not just her boobs. She’s so flat and breathy in everything I've seen her in. Feels like it's the Blake Lively effect - the pretty blonde girl in a show popular with the younger generation gets picked by the execs to be the next…

(I kid)
