I don’t want to link it, but there are quite a few people at Hollywood Reprter who gave that Weinstein prison interview a green light that need their asses throughly kicked.

Studio mucked this one up. It wasn’t available for screenings until the last minute. If it had screened earlier with local groups, she would have had the momentum to be nominated.

If a movie doesn't work, it doesn't work, and you can be honest about that without being mean. Snark is the critic's self-pat-on-the-back. "I'm so clever, look at me." I've been guilty of it.

Love and cruelty can be transferred, and you should be careful what you choose to put out in the world.

I sometimes worry that too many people think being a good critic means being a self-righteous dick about every little thing and I think far too many miss the point that you can't critique anything if you don't know how to love something.

Also, if you're doing an Arnold return to PREDATOR, the movie needs to be him escaping from an intergalactic zoo with Demolition Man (played by Stallone) and Timecop (played by Van Damme).

Yeah, you read right.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Christopher McQuarrie Teaming for New ‘Conan the Barbarian’ Movie 20th Century Studios has attached the filmmaker to write and direct 'King Conan,' reviving the character that was an early signature role for Schwarzenegger.

I want this as much as anybody, but articles like this feel like wishes thrown into a fountain. We'll see. Arnold ain't young.

You think for one second I’m going to think Radiohead support TFG? C’mon. I’ve listened to those songs. Just sue the shit out of them.

Musicians really don’t need to issue a press release telling politicians to stop using their music. It’s obvious that the politicians want the free media. I know they want their listeners to know where they stand, but the fans know, if they’re really fans. Just sue ‘em.

It just never took. I went to Catholic school, and the services bored me, and I questioned all of it. Then my dad died, and it didn't do anything for me.
