He’s right and he should say it!
Paul Dano is amazing in THE FABELMANS, truly tragic and sad but full of love for his family.
Also, Dano is INCREDIBLE in THERE WILL BE BLOOD. He does exactly what the role requires and goes beyond.
Finally, Dano brings real relatability and empathy in SWISS ARMY MAN.
Paul Dano - great actor.

Oh man! This paragraph is brutal. The best thing about this review is it's not trying to be mean. It's just listing how bad the writing is.

Had a nice birthday, felt very affirmed about my life, energized about creative projects. 2020-2025 has been very hard for me. And while the world is still a shit show, I do feel like in the past 12 months I’ve gotten to a better place.

across all the variations: the Baum novel, the original film, the Wiz, Wicked (the book), Wicked (the musical), the Great and Terrible, Wicked (the film), Tin Man, the common theme that unites them all is “Americans are especially susceptible to propaganda from conmen and shysters”
One of the things about the Wizard of Oz, and the Oz series in general, is that it's arguably the first big fantasy series heavily steeped in Americana.
one of the core myths of American stories and art. i really enjoyed the documentary “Lynch/Oz” which came out a few years ago, about the ways WoO shows ups in Lynch’s works

Ryan Coogler said part of his influence for making Sinners was a childhood love for the Disney movie “Luck of the Irish” and let me tell you…he is so real for that.

It's been a political masterclass from Pope Leo, frankly. I think he was tired of Trump and MAGA co-opting Christianity and said let's get in there and make it an us vs them situation. Make the administration be versus the church. It's smart.
lolol these fucks. you're catholic! the pope is infallible! you don't like that, go be an evangelical, which is what you really want to be.
