From an audience review on the site: "The audio from the rear left speaker has a fake audience member who laughs and makes random comments. Im fairly sure of this as my theater was mostly empty."
That isn't something that happens, is it?
What is it in particular about the dialogue? Just too much?
I found S1 watchable, if quite superficial.
I think it's mostly teens who follow him. I can't imagine many grown men being suckered by this edgy moron. Your comment about receding hairlines is odd though. I know people who started losing their hair in secondary school. MPB is normal and is in fact a sign that someone is an adult male... Accepting it is a lot more manly than getting plugs or wearing a wig.
Beatty, but just for Bulworth. There's not much in it.
Cimino a one-hit wonder? Thunderbolt and Lightfoot and Heaven's Gate are amazing films. The latter is a masterpiece, though admittedly it wasn't exactly a financial success!
To answer your question:
Mathieu Kassovitz (La Haine)
Marlon Brando (One-Eyed Jacks)
Herk Harvey (Carnival of Souls)
James Foley (Glengarry Glen Ross)
Larissa Shepitko (The Ascent)
Charles Laughton (The Night of the Hunter)
Mary Harron (American Psycho)
The birds fly over Kandahar with one wing.
The principle that ignorance of the law is not a defence is, to my mind, utterly authoritarian and Orwellian. It essentially makes the distinction between lawful and unlawful behaviour arbitrary from the perspective of citizens. I doubt anyone without a background in legal matters could name even 10% of existing laws. In most countries, it's impossible to say with certainty how many laws there are. (According to this blog post, there were around 3,000 federal criminal laws in the US in 1982: https://blogs.loc.gov/law/2013/03/frequent-reference-question-how-many-federal-laws-are-there/.)
However, a legal system can't operate without this principle.
In the book, Emma is mixed-race, but so light-skinned that Ish doesn't realise until she tells him. The showrunners decided to cast a black actress instead. I'm not sure if that's race-swapping.
It seems ridiculous that she can sue the company despite her lie being the cause of the offence. If anything, they should sue her!
Interesting. He seems very downbeat and shares the opinion of many here that 2024 was a poor year for films, as was 2023.
