For the sake of your purposed argument, I would suggest True Romance is a movie made by a formulaic filmmaker who brings little to no authorship to his film. Tony Scott was a good hand for the studios who could seemingly bring in a star studded picture on time and on budget.
There are plenty of Scott film’s I don’t care for, but I’d still argue if his movies are formulaic it’s because he was an enormous influence on the formula, and if his style seems indistinguishable from his contemporaries it’s because they were cribbing from him.

Re: The Movie Critic. Quentin says it's about a vulgar, invective spewing (including racial slurs of course) movie critic that worked for pornographers, but the main guy playing him isn't Pitt and is instead someone he hasn't used before. So, Brad Pitt gets to be the lead on the posters at least? I guess he didn't have Pitt as the lead in his last one either but that's because Leonardo frickin DeCaprio was the lead. And honestly he wasn't the lead in Basterds either, but that was an ensemble film.
It’s at least rumored to be Paul Walter Hauser, which has me very excited. It’s still wild to me that one of the greatest young characters actors working right now is also simultaneously a part-time hand for Pro Wrestling Revolver.

NBK got a lot of mileage out of premiering within months of the Brown and Goldman murders and the OJ story overtaking culture.

I’m glad he’s probably got another twenty years left in him to be put through the wringer by the feds. I do wonder if he’s too proud to do the standard Weinstein feeble old man transformation for courtroom appearances.

According to google, Kyle Petty is 6’2”, and he looks like one of them should be carrying him in a New World Order baby sling. I know it’s breaking news, wrestlers big, but damn.

Jeff spends at least five minutes throwing a pity party for the wrestling world he came up in disappearing because Vince is gone before Conrad brings up that there is an actual victim at the center of the story, and then Jeff goes straight into the anyone, even Vince, can be redeemed rap. It sucks.

Yeah I think someone else may have attempted to nationalize, but what Vince really did was create a relationship between wrestling and pop culture. It’s had its ups and downs but that relationship has meant everything to professional wrestling as a whole ever since .

Somebody could write a book about how Vince’s own body dysmorphia has influenced generations of young men.

The thing with the footage that I keep thinking about is a possible criminal case: if prosecutors can introduce song lyrics into cases against rappers, then the Network is potentially thousands of hours of circumstantial evidence. I’m assuming a Vince-level attorney would be able to get that kept out, but if not that one Trish segment alone would finish him.

Obviously this goes back to who knew what when speculation, but it’s very weird that the Bellas bridged two generations of women’s wrestling in WWE and weren't aware enough to tell their mother not to get involved with Laurinaitis.

Do you think, when all is said and done, Vince kills himself?
No. I could see him faking it to escape though. Paul London just needs to keep a straight face for him to pull it off this time.

I keep thinking about how much power he was able to exert over this woman, and how this wasn’t even someone whose lifelong goal was to work in wrestling, and specifically for WWE. It’s chilling to think about someone whose hopes and dreams were in Vince’s hands and what they may have been put through.

So can TKO just fire him now with this news?
They set up his shares in a unique way to be able to get him out the door as soon as something like this happened, so I’d imagine yes.

I’ve never been more certain that the Ashley Massaro allegations were true.
Just tragic.

Minoru having maybe the worst AEW win/loss statistic ever makes me sad though.
My consolation is that he usually spends the rest of his American dates beating indie wrestlers into hamburger meat.

Tarantino loved Badlands so much that he wrote his own take on it twice. What’s funny is that when he was approached about writing Halloween 6 around that time his pitch was a road movie with Michael and The Man in Black. Now that would’ve been something.
I think cutting the Barbarian Brothers scene out of NBK was a perfectly reasonable decision, but I’m so happy that it exists.

I’ve never seen Ready Player One or read the book, but whenever it comes up I think of how the author wrote an infamous cringe poem about the kind of porn he’d like to direct.

I dunno, I’ve got at least one person in my life who’s a massive JLo fan and who might see that and be inspired to get their personal life together, so there but for the grace of Benifer go I.

She’s not overreacting, she’s Lemonading.
Or there’s a 50/50 chance Demon Vincent D’Onofrio shows up and it turns out she’s still trapped in The Cell.

Asking Kevin Smith not to engage with his harshest critics is like asking Nolan to not score his movies with an oppressive thumping bass.

It feels a bit past GOAT’s cultural moment as a term to be a movie title. Promising Young Football Player would be funnier.

Re: Four Rooms
I feel like the consensus is that The Misbehavers is the best room, followed by The Man from Hollywood, then the hostage one with Jennifer Beals, and the coven of witches one is dead last. The interlude phone call with Kathy Griffin is pretty good from what I recall.
