His imdb.com page shows that he's got roles in a few more films that are still in post production, including a movie about the history of absinthe where he plays Oscar Wilde.

There is entirely too much cocaine available in Hollywood.

I understand dropping someone from your commercials for having terrible opinions and being public about it, but I can't imagine that getting you black listed in Hollywood when people are still lining up to be in and work on Woody Allen and Roman Polanski films.

The difference is no one was lining up to be in movies with Rob Schneider before he told everyone about his lovely opinions.

That's great and all, Elizabeth Banks and whatnot, but the real question to be answered: Who are playing Bulk and Skull?

Also I really don't get making Bond and Blofeld sort of temporarily adopted brothers. They did nothing with it.

Should have made Blowfly the villain instead.

She became born-again later in life and took a very brief respite from kinky vampire pseudo-erotica until she changed her mind.

Yeah, she became "born again" after The Passion of the Christ made bank, and then, quite surprisingly, reverted back to vampire porn after 50 Shades of Gray became a thing.

Yeah, though this time around he won't be following up a stone-cold classic that he can make more of an action movie.

He can just remake his most famous movies in the Avatar universe. General Scratchface gets his brain put in a robot Na'Vi body and sets out to kill Jake Sully. In the Sequel, they reprogram RoboScratchface to save Jake from a more advanced robot made entirely of unobtainium. The one after that Jake and whatsherface escape Pandora on a giant spaceship that is then hit by a meteor. Billy Zane co-stars.

It's so odd how trying to make one of these bland white guys "happen" has failed time and time again. Every time it's succeeded in making a star, it hasn't been a man to type, see: The Rock. I'm glad nobody's fooled into thinking people saw GOTG and Jurassic World because of Chris Pratt.

It's just one of those Hollywood things that no one could possibly understand because the people in charge don't understand. They just keep foisting these completely replaceable/interchangeable Leading Man Actors on the audience and expecting the audience to care. Then executives complain that the "star system" is dead because no one cares if a movie stars a Hemsworth, or Sam Worthington, or Chris Pine, or Luke Whoever since they are all completely generic and interchangeable.

The original Ghostbusters and films like it are lightning in a bottle, a variety of factors that come together and make a spark that can't be replicated. And I'm... just not feeling that spark with the new one.

I hope the new Ghostbusters is good, but it will probably be completely mediocre. Still, remaking Ghostbusters has led to the return of Ecto Cooler, so it is overall a really, really good thing Paul Feig has done.

Yeah, this is a historical event that focuses around white people, generally (which is probably why it got made!), with some black people mixed in. Later in life Knight did marry a black woman.

Yeah the whole thing started because the Confederacy passed a law that exempted rich people from conscription into the army. Basically rich white people seceded and started a war so that they could stay rich and decided that poor white people who gained absolutely nothing from secession had to fight that war.

Yeah, comedy remakes of 30 year old movies suck, such as... Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, a remake of Bedtime Story (1964) with Marlon Brando and David Niven.

That kind of underscores how pointless remakes are these days. Back in 1988, if someone wanted to watch a movie from 1964 it was difficult, if not impossible. Today, if you want to see Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, you just go on your computer and rent it instantly for a couple bucks.

How can you be method playing a loving comic book character though? The whole point is to ground yourself in the details of a human life. There's nothing to be grounded to in a supervillain, unless it's of the Henry Kissenger kind.

While women have it worse when it comes to Hollywood aging standards men still have to deal with some weird bullshit. Like how Hollywood has decreed that men cannot go bald. They can be bald if they started out their career that way (Patrick Stewart or Jason Statham) but if you ever had a full head of hair you either need to get plugs or wear a wig for the rest of your life.

Robert Duvall and Ed Harris. I will grant you that they both had receding hairlines even when they were younger, but both of those guys went bald without going all Ted Danson about it. I think for men it has less to do with Hollywood pressure and more to do with most actors being vain.

art industries as a whole tends to be frustratingly "don't bite the hand that feeds you".

I think it's less that and more "you come at the king, you best not miss" especially when it comes to guys like Cosby and Louis C.K. If you come forward with something like that and it doesn't stick, they go sailing right along, and your career could be ruined.
