Stallone is a fascinating personality. So much to disagree with him in many aspects but also so compellingly honest in other moments, and capable of more than a few trenchant observations that others never arrive at. Like he expresses stuff that intellectuals have made in a very earthy way.

Sylvester Stallone talks his past steroid use while filming “Rocky III” and explains that no superhero bodies in Hollywood movies are “natural.”

It’s crazy how it’s just over forever for spider man. Like they haven’t released anything more enjoyable than mid with the character since I’ve been alive.

There have been other movies with this theme and it’s silly. You can’t have a “Dr. Strangelove” for climate change because nukes are entirely inside human agency and political agency. Climate change requires an entire rethink of capitalism and involves vastly more people than guys in a room.

So I caught up with #BatmanCapedCrusader Season 2. And I liked it a lot! Huge improvement on S1 which I found so-so. This one does have BTAS energy more than S1 did. I think Timm found a way for the weird style, the 40s-but-not-really, Fleischer-but-not really, comics compliant but-not-really.

The question as always is whether the Oscars deserve to honor Obsession or any similar such film so proffered. The joke is, if the Oscars deserve to honor it, then Obsession doesn’t deserve to be nominated.

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

The worst part about remote work is how brutal it is to do comedy bits when everyone has their mics muted and you can't see their reactions. For the sake of the needy comedians at your job, please unmute your mic and throw in some pity laughs. Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

It's pretty rare for UK actors to be "screen first" movie-stars. Like James Mason was unique in the old days for being the first. Kind of wish there were more of that to be honest.

Infinity Vision means less than nothing
Just got back from seeing Endgame Encore in an "Infinity Vision" theater. As far as I'm concerned it is a scam. It's obvious there is zero quality control at all, so while the specs I read about in advance claimed a certain level of brightness, sound quality, etc., the reality is no one actually checks to see the the theater's equipment is being maintained to spec. I wasted a lot of time and more money driving 40 minutes away to attend a Regal RPX screen with "Infinity Vision" only to end up in a so-so theater with horrible sound and a projector in need of a new element or light or whatever because the screen was way, way too dark. Not just for the movie but all the trailers and commercials. It wasn't even an average movie experience, it was way below average. Meanwhile I could have gone to the local theater 5 minutes from my house that didn't have an "Infinity Vision" badge probably because its a tiny chain but which actually was playing it on a bigger screen than the Regal RPX one and which usually has amazing sound and brightness. And is cheaper. All around a bait-and-switch.

I don’t necessarily have an issue with the casting of the new Astaire biopic. I think they should cast dancers rather than actors but that‘d be hard. I just think that Fred Astaire just doesn’t have a story. Like he’s a great artist who was a professional. Gene Kelly though, more interesting.

The only animated show on that "Best 100 Shows of The Century" being the (very good!) Netflix series that's specifically about an actor living in L.A. that's, yes, about universal themes but also SPECIFICALLY about inside-baseball TV business anxieties kinda gives away why the list sucks.

I will say that Downey’s Doom voice sounds like one for the books. If done well, it will be like Hardy’s Bane in terms of original accents. The way he says “Mister Banner” in the post credits is hilarious. And also in character.

1) To repeat, Werewolves are an inherently terrible idea for movies. 2) The Company of Wolves is the only great werewolf movie and this movie is clearly stealing homework from that. 3) Eggers’ linguistic fetish is silly. 4) Movie looks like a gore. 5) Hair is not perfect.

The #MCU is strange. They have money and yet their lack of investment in Hulk and favoring Ruffalo over Hulk CGI has ruined the character with few exceptions. He keeps getting punk'd at the start by new worldenders and that diminishes the world. This tend continues with the new one.

Speaking as an employee, I like bosses who insist we call them "Mr" rather than ones who are all "sup Bro". I favor seriousness over deception. To paraphrase Frank Zappa, we were better off with suits than with Silicon Valley casual. Bring back the suits and have 'em wear suits this time.
