Eisenberg rocks

 

The Big Lebowski

 

What am I watching right now.

 

Why is everyone on twitter so mad at that bald nerd interviewer for asking an actor about Kubrick?

 

I have no idea what you’re talking about. Please elaborate and cite your sources.

 

Never seen that white man in my life

 

People in general have gotten a lot weirder about actors the last few years. It's all a fan club and everyone else is opposing them somehow.

The one about the dude who travels to Sentinel Island is a true story btw and it's insane. I can't believe they're making it a movie. I wanna see what the F&F guy does with this story.

 

yeah he was a real dumbass

 

I also saw that and was confused. He seemed to ask pretty basic questions

 

Move production nerds

Why do productions across almost all movies and shows using sunlight filter screens over actors when filming outside, from the front at least? Its so obvious when they're used and always take me slightly out of the scene. What's wrong with filming characters faces in natural sunlight?

 

Also at Sundance we are getting docs on:

Former New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern
The dark side of the show To Catch a Predator
Legendary songwriter Jeff Buckley
The first American woman in space Sally Ride
The contrasting legacies of British trans rights icon April Ashley and French pop singer and Dali's muse Amanda Lear who has denied being trans for decades.
The first deaf actor to win an Oscar Marlee Matlin
Sly and the Family Stone directed by Questlove.
Paul Reubens
John Lennon and Yoko Ono's early romance
Julian Assange's legal battle

 

Is Bottoms good?

 

it is hysterical

 

I did not like it

 

yeah but you don't like anything

 

I’ll check it out I always see it on prime

 

I've almost watched it a few times

 

Marshawn Lynch is funny in it.

 

Bottoms is good. Spo is doing a bit.

 

That just reminded me of Murderville, I would LOVE to see that show come back

 

Bottoms is fun chaos
