“Are you embarrassed?”
Sebastian Maniscalco's immortal catchphrase is now more needed than ever since the 2015 comedy special of the same name.
Seinfeld didn't miss the beat. I shut down the conversation with five simple words: “Palestine doesn't care.”
Use it whenever Hollywood resistance attempts a hopeless new tactic, like stunt casting of black lesbians as children of God. Yes, “Evil” fame Cynthia Eribo plays the title character The production of “Jesus Christ Superstar” This summer, in the Hollywood Bowl.
Although Eribo is richly talented, her choice is clearly intended as a thumbs up to the traditionalist eye beyond the fruitful plains.
Not that someone is actually furious about such predictable shenanigans. Did Jesus cry? Like a yawn…
“Brutal” Oater broke
Give me a hat from “Brutal” director Brady Corbett. Otre reportedly filmed an Oscar-nominated film Less than $10 millionAnd the film itself seems to cost five times the amount.
Probably more. He should win a special Oscar just for his achievements.
Corbet's way of spending did not help his own finances. The director insists He didn't collect dimes To make a film, and to promote a film, he can't make money now, because it's a full-time job in itself.
The Oscar campaign is a 24-hour gig that lasts for several months.
Here's the idea: Hollywood Studios should hire Corbett to teach them how to make beautiful films for some of the things they're wasting on the average blockbuster now.
The saddest part? Even in non-stop promotions, “The Brutalist” has so far won $14 million in state sides and $31 million worldwide…
Spacey Spanks Metoo Accuser Guy
Kevin Spacey has been unofficially banned from Hollywood after a series of uneasy accusations were revealed during the Metoumovement. The winner of the two Oscars has yet to hear the verdict of “guilty” in court, but despite the sprinkles of the stars (Brian Cox, Liam Neeson, Sharon Stone) defending him , he remains a Persona Non Grata.
Not Guy Pierce. The “LA Confidential” actor recently suggested that co-star Spacey stalked him on the set of the film. He speaks in ambiguous terms and implies, to say the least, Spacey's actions are ominous.
How did Spacey respond? “grow up. ”
“If I did something, it upset you, so you could have reached out to me. We could have had that conversation, but instead. , you want to know what my reaction to what you said, so of course I decided to speak to the media that is coming after me now.”
Spacey may have taken a different approach a few years ago, but the cancellation culture is declining and he felt encouraged to fight back. Frank Underwood would be proud…
Seinfeld shuts down selfie-centered fans
The great stand-up comedian knows all syllable problems. That's why they work on jokes every night and reach a funny core. Editing one or two words can make all the differences.
Jerry Seinfeld called out the skill last week when yet another pro-Palestinian protester came to him. The stranger approached the “Seinfeld” alumni with a selfie request. The legend of the comic began to obligate a man to scream “free Palestine” before he could scream his true intentions all the way through.
Seinfeld did not miss the beat, shutting down the conversation 5 simple words.
“Palestine doesn't bother you.”
Suspicion is the spirit of wit and is quite useful when dealing with extremists…
Molly's “Brat” attack
Molly Ringwald can certainly embrace grum.
The “Breakfast Club” alum still hurts about being called part of the so-called “Brat Pack” by New York magazine journalists decades ago. And she's not alone. The 2024 documentary “Brats” was a '80s fellow star Andrew McCarthy shared at least a complex history of intended targets and phrases.
McCarthy used the film to reconcile with the label. Although Ringwald refuses to appear in the film, she is still in a gross mood about Monica.
She called it “pe jorative.” “And in a way I think it minimized the work we were doing. That's how I felt.”
Ringwald himself is pleased to “minimise” his work in recent years. He slammed “Breakfast Club” and other classic films he did with the late writer-director John Hughes. “Homophobia” and “Racism” etc.
Are you going to abandon the same man who made you a star? “Brat” seems to be the correct word.
