There aren't any newspapers left to place ads in.
No wonder movie posters have gotten so...generic.

I saw it in 1998 but only remember that it seemed like a lame "Scream" knock-off.
There were a lot of them back then.

Putin gave Trump a 6-week deadline to complete his assignment of destroying the U.S. as a world power and serious competitor.

Or else....the Epstein files....

Another reason I think Karel Reisz's lesser-sung "Sweet Dreams" is a better female-country-star biopic than Apted's perfectly respectable "Coal Miner's Daughter."

She's usually wasted in most things.
Needs--and richly deserves--her own starring vehicle.

Except for the "Up" series, Apted always impressed me more as a "journeyman" style director.
Solid craftsman, but not a whole lot of style or discernible personality.

The United States wants you to believe paying more for gas is patriotic while also lying to you and telling you gas prices are better than ever!

Huge job losses from trump, compared to jobs created under biden.

War and unemployment. Making America great again.

My prayer is that Dems will regain control of both the House AND Senate this November and impeach his a*s, forcing him out of office once and for all.

Trump doesn’t care what people think. He is delusional and increasingly demented, but he also doesn’t want popular support. He knows that he won’t be β€˜elected’ to an illegal third term. Everything he does now is to fulfill his insatiable, deeply troubled needs. He won’t stop until he is stopped.

I’m just curious if any of the disgusting juvenile delinquents making the ridiculous war glorification videos for the White House ever served in combat. Or even served in the military at all.

Basinger is one of my favorite "Bond Girl"s, too.

And until Sam Mendes, Irvin Kershner was the best director to ever helm a Bond flick.

Few people know that Peter Bogdanovich helped turn the tide on "The Long Goodbye."
After raving about it in his Esquire column in spring 1973, UA reversed course and decided to give it a platform release rather than dumping it as originally planned.

It's not great, but Katherine Waterston is worth seeing in pretty much anything.

Is it wrong that I prefer "Never Say Never Again" to any "official" Connery Bond that isn't "Goldfinger" or "Dr. No"?
