Beyond his outstanding work for Quentin Tarantino, two brilliant performances Michael Madsen gave that show you his depth, complexity, & range were in THELMA & LOUISE & the remake of THE GETAWAY. In fact, it's Madsen (along with Jennifer Tilly) who commands the most attention in THE GETAWAY. #RIP

The "Yes, but..." tone of coverage of an R-rated non-sequel that opened at $45 million, got an "A" CinemaScore, and drew raves from critics is quite something. This is a news story, not a report to shareholders. You're allowed to say it's a hit.
A tale of two movies:
Similar deal structures. Similar budgets.
One made $45M from 3300 screens, post pandemic, and won the weekend.
The other made $41M from 3600 screens pre-pandemic, and placed second.
And yet this is the coverage.

Movie industry people when they see how SINNERS is once again revealing the gap between what audiences want and what they want the audience to want. And then they will dismiss the film’s success as a fluke.

Thirty years ago, Chris Farley left 'Saturday Night Live' and starred in ‘Tommy Boy,’ a comedy classic that shows both great silliness and skill as an actor. A look back:

Superb piece by @chrisyogerst.com on the rise/fall of Carolco Pictures.
My latest for The Hollywood Reporter! Carolco Pictures had a wild ride, to say the least. From Rambo to Terminator 2 before ultimate collapse in true blockbuster fashion!!
