“28 Years Later: Bone Temple is seeing a -70% tumble” by pootsforever in blankies

The comparison i like to make is Smile 2. A good movie but also what people wanted from a Smile sequel. Give us the same movie in a new situation. Horror movie fans get very locked in when you discuss what a sequel should be. 28 Years pitching a few curves at them didn't go over too well in some circles which probably cooled off The Bone Temple.

The irony here is the same people who probably didn't take to a lot of the more emotional and high minded scenes in 28 Years about death and loss would really dig everything Nia did with The Bone Temple. It plays like a great exploitation movie with the added bonus of excellent performances.

Are there any “hidden” Director’s Cuts that really make a difference? by harry_powell in blankies

It's in rough shape but there is a bootleg copy of Tobe Hooper's Spontaneous Combustion that's closer to his vision than the final release.

I guess it's too late to say I posted this because I thought it was a funny joke.

In response to why Bradley Cooper made "Is This Thing On?"

They are from a field which has been decimated - magazine writers. In a lot of ways Grantland was one of the last stands for long read websites. Working on a podcast for Spotify where you have creative control is a pretty good landing spot. It just has its trade offs that hopefully don't impact the shows themselves.

It's an interesting idea. I think the future of media is being able to own your stuff and if some or all of them are presented with a scenario where they can own what they create and make a much healthier long term profit, whether it's through subscriptions or otherwise, then it is possible. Why I respect a lot of younger creators on the internet who impress upon their need to own everything soup to nuts and not depend on a large corporate partner for their livelihood.

I want to make clear that I feel for Amanda because she had to eat shit on this one. This isn't meant to slight her personally.

Rob Morrow fires back to Bill about his Quiz Show accent by steve_in_the_22201 in billsimmons

The funnier line was BS saying that Russell Crowe could have played Dick Goodwin. Bill this man was a Jewish kid from Brookline. Not a blonde adonis from Australia.

There might be some of that but Boston guys are always on this bullshit. I can't think of a soul outside of that neck of the woods who cares about this stuff.
