    Jesus, he looks just like elderly Super Dave.

    Here's the television movie. William Sadler was the host. I can't remember if HBO's Perversions of Science was any good. I've been meaning to go back and check some of them out.

    I agree with everything you wrote here. I just don't know if there's enough of Paley's account available yet to definitely say this is a gray area situation. I hope we can acknowledge the complexity of sexual relationships without taking a step backward to the belief that it's not possible for someone to be sexually abused by a person that they're in a relationship with.

    I think the notion that Mark Wahlberg is a giant piece of shit should just be taken for granted in any story about him.

    Tales from the Crypt is one show that never disappoints when I revisit. Yellow and that Brad Pitt drag racing episode were originally a pilot for a spinoff based on EC's Two Fisted Tales (I believe on Fox.) They were interesting because they had a distinctly different feel from TFTC. I wish that show had gotten picked up.

    I understand the producers were in crisis mode, but they're dumb as dogshit for not getting out in front of this story. Even if they weren't flush with money after the reshoots and paying Wahlberg, I'm sure there was some kind of profit participation deal they could've reached with Williams so this didn't get out. I don't know why they thought in the current climate this wouldn't leak and be conflated with a gender pay gap issue. As far as Wahlberg, that's the way business is done. He had them over a barrel, and the article does point out that he was the most bankable star internationally in the cast and he knew it. He's not Williams's keeper, and it's not his responsibility to make sure the producers don't fuck her over. I wouldn't be surprised if he or Ridley Scott make some kind of public overture for good publicity, even if it shouldn't be on them to do so.

    It turns out Mark Wahlberg's people leveraged $1.5 million out of the production of All the Money in the World for the reshoots, then the producers misled Michelle Williams into believing he was working for scale like she was. https://mobile.nytimes.com/2018/01/10/business/media/spacey-whalberg-williams-all-the-money-in-the-world.html?referer=https://www.google.com/

    I saw Sorvino semi-regularly when he was working on something near me a few years ago. He always traveled with at least one intimidating yoked-up dude in a track suit (it kept my friend from asking him to sign a copy of See Spot Run.) I'm sure if that's how he actually rolled he'd have no problem getting one of those guys to beat the shit out of Weinstein.

    "Huge news: the Impala from Supernatural has a hole in its schedule of car expo bookings that weekend, and it's willing to come in and do an angle."

    Weinstein's transition from "Hollywood Power Player" to "Extra in Ironweed" is coming along nicely.

    Was it already common knowledge that the show was in September? That lines up pretty neatly with Bryan's contract expiring. I have no idea how the non-compete on his deal would limit him, and they probably couldn't advertise him in advance either.

    I'm not that familiar with BOLA, but the crowd's always seem small. I thought it was intentionally an intimate gathering of high profile fans and journalists to make the tickets more pricey. Even if everyone there also attended Cody's show, it wouldn't get them anywhere near the figures he needs.

    Yeah, Casey still got his statue. In hindsight, it's incredible that Franco got a pass when that underage girl had the receipts on his advances a couple of years ago. Alia Shawcat has told an insane story about a consensual encounter with an unnamed actor that's often credited to him because he's gained the reputation of being a creep.

    Kia doesn't really look like a hoss anymore. If she's in it I'd almost expect them to have her in her GLOW gear.

    I've only seen the second Transformers. I was dragged to it with a blistering hangover for an early bird showing on two hours of sleep. It was a loud, dumb nightmare.

    When did Cody transform into Milo Yiannapolous?

    I don't know if anything in the new season of X-Files can touch the sheer awfulness of that episode last year where Mulder tried to enter the comatose terrorist's subconscious. It begins with a disturbingly realistic suicide bombing, the second act is Mulder tripping balls, hallucinating being in a country music video, and it ends with that goddam Lumineers song while Mulder contemplates the universe and speaks to God(?)

    No one knows what to get me, but they're vaguely aware I watch wrestling, so among other things I got a Booty-Os plush blanket. It complements the colors of the Trolls Princess Poppy oversized pillow my 2-year-old received and subsequently abandoned that I'm now using on the couch.

    The Shield and Wyatt Family standoff.

    The thing with Johnson and Dornan is that they always acted like they were above the material and that they only did the Shades movies because it would open doors for them, but then the doors never materialized and they're just anchored to an awful franchise for the rest of their careers.

    This isn't a popular opinion maybe anywhere, but I like The Two Jakes more than Chinatown. And like Matt said, there's actual vintage film noir like The Maltese Falcon. There are also better 70s noir meditations/deconstructions like Altman's The Long Goodbye. Polanski's actually easy for me to write off, but I'm finished with Allen too, and some of Allen's work I've enjoyed quite a bit. I think the older I get the less precious I am about the "importance" of art and it's easier for me to just be done with someone's work if they're a piece of shit.

    I didn't get to catch too much of the Twilight Zone marathon this year, but the one I saw reminded me about those handful of episodes where they experimented with taping it on video. It looks awful. I'm glad they realized it and went back to 35mm.

    She was cast as Vicki Vale in the first film and broke her ankle getting thrown off a horse in one of the first scenes they shot with her. Kim Basinger was her replacement.

    I think someone suggested it on Twitter and Paulson chimed in very positively. It's not Sean Young showing up at Tim Burton's office dressed like Catwoman.
