A reminder that criticism is its own thing. It is not just "failed artists," and when you make that kind of claim, it seems pathetic. You don't have to read critics. You also don't have to be a fucking baby when you make something they don't like.
Taika Waititi is slamming "Klara and the Sun" critics as "sad lost souls who couldn’t achieve their dreams of becoming artists":
“I haven’t read a review of anything aimed at me or my peers in almost 15 years. But I do listen to the people. So this Halloween, let’s spare a thought for those sad lost souls who couldn’t achieve their dreams of becoming artists, and thus became critics. The same people who also hated Jojo Rabbit. Irrelevant. Out of touch. Obsolete. In the bin.”

Much of NORTH BY NORTHWEST is live actors, huge sets, optical tricks and matte paintings by Matthew Yuricich and Lee LeBlanc.

It will be at least 40 years before our loved and lovely America recovers from the wounds this selfish, stupid, and ego-driven man has inflicted. That it will recover seems certain to me, but it will leave scars.

Licence to Kill is god-tier Bond, and Dalton's sewing of seeds of mistrust in Robert Davi's drug lord Franz Sanchez, a plot inspired by Yojimbo, makes for some of the best acting in the entire series
Feels like the time is right for M. Night Shyamalan's character from Lady in the Water to release his guide for a better world, The Cookbook. We need you more than ever, The Cookbook!

They should've saved the title "The Smashing Machine" for the inevitable Gallagher biopic which I presume will be written by Scott Alexander and Larry @Karaszewski, and which will approach the story from the perspective of the brother, Gallagher Too

In retrospect is clear that Scandoval was the Montreal Screwjob of the @BravoTV-verse. Permanent impact on narrative parameters going forward. Still being felt. Historic stuff. Just think, we were all there for it.
