@LexG_III I remember the ads were really heralding her like they’d found the next Cameron Diaz.

[Mac Rogers @macwrites]

@LexG_III It just sounds so miserable.

[Mac Rogers @macwrites]

@LexG_III I’m fascinated by stuff like this, where in any other director’s hands it would be obvious incompetence, but with Ferrara (whether he’s one’s cup of tea or not) is clearly doing something.

@LexG_III (Haha I’m belatedly realizing I cited the wrong Karina in that reply. Obviously I meant Longworth, not the lady from The L Word and that Bruce Willis western…)

[Mac Rogers @macwrites]

@LexG_III I like the substance of You Must Remember This, but Lombard’s insistence on doing those dreadful impressions damn near kills it for me. Some of them are honestly borderline xenophobic, where’s the Cancel Man when you need him?

[Mac Rogers @macwrites]

@LexG_III This is the type of shit I thought he was heading towards, I didn't realize he was already there.

[Mac Rogers @macwrites]

@joshmassey1 @LexG_III Haha definitely miss the days when a tagline could be a couple paragraphs.

[Mac Rogers @macwrites]

@LexG_III I guess I’ll see how they handle it, but the premise seems remarkably ill-advised for a romcom. To borrow your phrase, I spend the whole trailer doing charts and graphs on how a world with that law works the rest of the year.

[Mac Rogers @macwrites]

@LexG_III Holy shit The Toy! I saw that in the theater when I was a little kid. I remember almost nothing about it other than a faint sense that it’s probably not topping any studio lists of prospective remakes.

[Mac Rogers @macwrites]

@LexG_III I assume the success of Only Murders is the only thing preventing him from reuniting with Queen Latifah for a direct-to-Disney+ “Bringing Down The House” lega-sequel (164 mil gross, incredibly, more than Hocus Pocus).

[Mac Rogers @macwrites]

@LexG_III It didn’t work because not all the kids committed to the lie, alas.

[Mac Rogers @macwrites]

@LexG_III Completely unrelated but your most recent (superb as always) episode surfaced a middle school memory for me: they took my class to see the Gobots movie, and some of us were so embarrassed we tried to get all the kids to say we’d seen Police Academy 3 when we got back to school.

@LexG_III I belong to the vanishingly small demographic of "middle-aged white guys who quote Friday more often than they quote Lebowski."

[Mac Rogers @macwrites]

@LexG_III Jesus is that the *poster*?

[Mac Rogers @macwrites]

@hecubian_devil Have… you gotten what you want?

[Mac Rogers @macwrites]

@LexG_III Paul Rudd gets all the no-aging jokes but Larenz Tate is fuckin bizarre, he could probably play O-Dog in Menace II Society again *now.*

[Mac Rogers @macwrites]

@LexG_III Unrelated but I identified so hard with the elevator paint story on the (fantastic) new episode that I can feel myself starting to Inception-style remember it happening to me.

[Mac Rogers @macwrites]

@LexG_III Dynevor and Ehrenreich are both great, and for a while it’s sorta neat to see an attempt at a feminist spin on Mamet/LaBute, but it felt like Dumont had no idea where to take the concept and just replayed the same beat again and again for the final hour.

[Mac Rogers @macwrites]

@LexG_III I’ll help man the cannon on this one, I found her previous movie excruciating.

[Mac Rogers @macwrites]

@LexG_III Why does this gazillionaire dress as badly as I do?
