Elizabeth Banks is alright, but she's no Parker Posey, that's for damn sure

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Bill Simmons would call Banks the market correction for Posey, which I wouldn't argue with
I think my default stance on any topic is to disagree with Bill fucking Simmons.

Also, Parker Posey is a national treasure. Guffman? House of Yes? The Anniversary Party? Josie and the Pussycats? Mixed Nuts?!

To say nothing of her TV work. Also, she's literally the only redeemable thing about Beau is Afraid. Parker rules!

Any "actor" who can't be bothered to learn his lines for a Broadway run should probably keep his mouth shut about others.

Shrek 1 & 2 are rated 4.1 on letterboxd. Is that right? Are they not just standard kid's movies? I haven't seen them since they came out, but I don't remember them being particularly good.

He was a disaster. It was one of the worst performances I've ever seen. It was such a disappointment. And my friend who works at LCT informed me, it never got better. Dude had no capacity for memorization. He never had his lines.

I think he’s at the Richard Harris / Peter o toole stage of his career.

I’m a legend. I can do or not do whatever the fuck I want.

That may be right.

Either way, he's a legend. And I'll always value his screen work. But live on stage? Probably won't run out and see him again.

I like Cox a lot but he is definitely a guy who phones it in from time to time, and not just in this stage of his career. He definitely takes paycheck jobs.

Just now realising the name of the ship in Interstellar is the Endurance
And they get stuck at an ice planet

Name of Shackletons ship. The Endurance. They were stuck in the ice for two years
He got his men home though.


They need to make a sequel to interstellar.
Get brand home. Or at least get cooper there.

Really enjoyed Thelma and The Substance this week.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?
