Father Larry Dowling dropped the most damning statement I think I've ever seen from a catholic on this whole situation (save for the Pope's words on it):
Yeah Jeffrey was in enough trouble as it was without burning down a dentist’s office. They’d already gotten enough on him anyway. All it did was add on to his prison sentence lol
One funny thing about Roofman is that Channing Tatum’s Jeffrey has to go to the dentist because eating too much candy has rotted his teeth. This is something that turns out to be important so it needs to be in the movie. But when we see Tatum’s teeth, he’s got perfect movie star teeth.
I will never understand with all the data Disney has access to that they thought Jared Leto could headline a major release in 2025. I’ve always thought studios should have random normal people around the country they can go to for basic advice about movie production strategy and this proves it
If you factor King out and use the Judge Dredd and Total Recall remakes as a comparison, The Running Man might have a problem (I’m still not sure if Powell’s a box office draw or not.)!
"The Who were charming to me when they were writing more situational songs. They didn’t necessarily concern world shattering issues, but instead really beautiful, miniature statements. [and] I love the artwork with the Heinz Baked Beans."
Ben Shapiro: “The basic suggestion is a conspiracy theory in which the United States is run by white supremacist Christian nationalists” um yeah, Ben, it kinda is.
I am so sick of living in a world where certain groups insist art & culture be re-oriented to serve their tastes and whims when their own pitiful inability or unwillingness to critically engage with and contemplate creativity clearly demonstrate that art & culture are too good for them.
I like it quite a bit as a picture of the sixties counterculture at its abject end, though Texas Chainsaw Massacre did it better and I can see it not having much appeal to younger horror fans
