A ★★★★ review of Phantom Thread (2017)
This film should have been called A Londoner's Guide To Grooming. Daniel Day Lewis masterfully (obviously) plays a dressmaker who meets a waitress, charms her into moving in with him and his sister an...

The first remake of the classic 1933 film King Kong came in 1976 and starred Jeff Bridges, Jessica Lange and Charles Grodin. It was campy and became a cult classic. The ending saw Kong climbing the Tw...

I was thinking about the movie adaptation of The Shining. It's supposed to be the story of a normal man's slow descent into madness but they cast Jack Nicholson and he just starts off batshit crazy.

I loved this show. The theme was my ringtone for a long time.
Larry Hagman, Linda Gray and Mary Crosby seen here in the "Who Done It?" episode of "DALLAS" dir. Leonard Katzman revealing the person who pulled the trigger was Kristin, J.R.'s scheming sister-in-law and mistress who shot him in a fit of anger, which aired #OnThisDay in 1980

This show was hilarious and completely batshit insane. His character actually dies in some episodes and the next week he would be back to normal with no explanation.

Counterpoint: he stopped doing stand up because people realized he wasn't funny. The only people who would want to harm him are probably some women he dated who got sick of the smarmy, misogynistic way he treated them. Nobody from the right or the left give a shit about his politics.
Bill Maher says that, sure, ticket sales are declining and his audience isn't eager to leave the house, but he retired from stand-up because he "could get shot by the left or the right."
