Nobody "pushed" any of these men to be anything - including some mystical Dark Curse that's released from accruing a certain level of money.

The idea that Dems ostracized Musk and pushed him reluctantly into the arms of the GOP is so absurd. He has billions in contracts from a Democratic administration; Pentagon officials defer to him per the New Yorker; Chuck Schumer hosted him in the Senate less than 18 months ago.

He should have won Best Actor for this
- this electric confrontation when X shows his control of the situation to Peter Boyle’s police captain.
His brief cocky smile to Boyle grounds & humanises X.
It’s just one of the many telling & smart moments in Washington’s finest performance.

In the NEW JEDI ORDER movies, I would like to see 'Neel' as the Chancellor of the New Republic (very much resembling his father 'Nol' but without the receding hairline, perhaps)... with an unnamed spouse who happens to speak with a French accent. 🔮

I would totally be down for a Mike Leigh drama in which James Bond tracks down his birth mother and is unable to go into any detail about what he does for a living
Mike Leigh imagines what a #Bond film directed by him would look like:
"The entire film would be James Bond visiting his elderly mother in a suburban house, spending a bit of time with her, and then leaving," he tells Empire.

Kinda fun when it's a very silly JRPG about a party of bickering melodramatic lions and their monkey healer, significantly less so when it's another live-action Disney retread 'over-explaining' a cartoon because of old YouTube essayist jokes

Yeah, I expect my leash for the Reddit stuff will be longer than BB 2017 for three reasons it’s not a remake, I am a weirdo who doesn’t find lion King as sacred as BB, and if it does get bad, Jenkins direction can paper over , but this is the only time I will tolerate it
