It's like looking at 2 dads who live next door to each other and when one sees the other mowing their lawn, they say "Can you do mine next?" and they think it's uproariously funny every single time.

WICKED: FOR GOOD struggles to maintain the energy and excitement of its predecessor. It attempts to defy gravity for a second time but ends up hovering modestly.
But if you're a staunch completionist, this movie is for you.

I saw this freelance writing job on LinkedIn and the day rate is $220. Which breaks down to $27.50/hour, $57,200/year. This is a job calling for experienced journalists and it's not clear the amount of work they will dump on you.
Be skeptical.
Settling for less makes you deprive yourself of more.

As with all films, I was asked by a publicist my initial reaction to Nia DaCosta's queer infused adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's "Hedda Gabler", HEDDA starring Tessa Thompson.
I responded: "It was absolutely cunty."

A standing ovation does not mean it's a going to be a good movie for the masses. Didn't JOKER FOLIE A DEAUX and BLONDE get like 10 minute standing ovations or some shit? Please don't put any weight on standing ovations at film festivals. they don't really mean anything. Judge the movie for yourself.
