Because children like aliens and superpowers, and Hollywood is run by children.
Wait … make that the whole US.
With added woke.
Farrell was not a good lead, but the entire show was preposterous. And yes, no P.I. could afford to stay in such a bungalow, but Hollywood has always had lead characters with no visible income who have unlimited Benjies to peel off for tips to untrustworthy drug-addicted vagrants and will adopt any stray animal they find. Prices and salaries never have any relation to reality: didn’t someone have a fit over a now-piddly $1500 vet bill? Try fifteen grand today. And did ever see him feed or walk any dog once, or get a vet check?
Only thing more preposterous is OP’s claim he should have been black or Jewish. You do know most people in LA are still white?
They did have immense balls. Columbia Picture hated the movie and were not going to release it until it showed at Cannes (itself a huge risk). Despite being one of the most violent films ever shown there, it got a standing O from 2000 attendees. They were demied filming in at least five European countries due to Turkish influence which included Turkish government-organized demonstrations in every major city where it played. Director Alan Parker said he didn’t care and would not budge on anything, though various governments like Holland caved to the pressure and removed all dialogue insulting Turks, no doubt including Hayes’ shocking courtroom speech calling it a country of pigs. Critics and politicians worldwide screamed RACIST … just like today. And just like today, it all failed. The film ran so long in Spain — three years — the government passed a law limiting a film run to no more than a year. Having been passed from generation to generation through the magic of home video, the movie is still a cultural phenomenon in Turkey, the US, and elsewhere — for better or worse. One Turkish government worker compared it to The Wizard of Oz — another film that won’t go away.

In the documentary <i>Midnight Return</i>, his then-girlfriend swears she never bared her breasts. Hayes swears she did, and asked her to say it to him on camera.
Saw this in a theater at 14 and never laughed harder.
They’d made a movie about my dad!
Just saw it again last night for what I’m sure will be the last time.
No plans to bring over a date to watch a great old movie I once enjoyed.
Like you, I found it sad.
Truthful, but sad.
Their conflict and the resulting misery for all seems unnecessary.
Why doesn’t Willie just tell Al how hurt he felt when Al quit on him?
That he couldn’t handle losing such a big part of his life?
Rifts like this can be worked out with a little effort and humility, and it’s definitely worth doing.
Some nephew!
Sends me to a garage.
Interesting, but I couldn’t find a peep on how this turned out.
So many in the world of this picture I wanted to scream GET A FUCKING LIFE to.
Agreed.
I also thought they definitely did jell.
For about 30-40 minutes, I was getting more than my fill of Hathaway’s character resisting this guy’s obvious appeal. I don’t like people who chronically act guarded.
But then … cracks appear, and we realize she’s definitely got her reasons, mostly in the form of Reid Scott playing one of the biggest asshole exes to ever grace the screen. I don’t respect people who can’t see what’s important and always have a reason not to do the thing that they absolutely should do, and for the first half she was that. Her lowest point was claiming, in response to Hayes telling her all the things he felt, that she was ashamed. My opinion changed when she finally admitted that she did feel all those things also.
🎯💯
negro, n. — sumpn a outtatouch white guy thinks it’s okay to use as if it’s 1973
I liked the film up till the ending.
Then I hated her.
She actually looked at the cat on the bed, apparently thought nothing of it, and then left both creatures to die. For me that negates any point of view she might have had and just reduces her to just another uber-narcissist.
Definitely.
As in definitely not.
It was.
But why single that out when the entire movie was preposterous.
Uh, no.
She’s not “in this category.”
Bish was no great beauty but could actually act.
I don’t think there is.
Preposterous plots filled with events that could never happen in this world can’t be made convincing even with better makeup. This flick is pure Hollywood BS — the reason I steer clear of factory output today.
“How was I?”
“Fabulous. For a shit B-movie, I mean.”
Stupid ending.
Some kind of nonsense feminist fantasy.
Up till that point, Hanna had proven herself to be strong snd sensible. Lighting that fire and walking out flushed that all away.
Ruined what was, until then, a decent and tense drama. It even had a point.
“ The change in the milk shakes did not occur until 1965 after the brothers had sold their interest in the company. Not sure why they insisted on putting that in the film.”
I’m pretty sure why — to show that Kroc didn’t give one tin sh*t about food quality.
Powdered milkshakes?
Hey hon — let’s get the kids and all go out for strawberry Crystal Light.
Two ideas:
1. Punctuation
2. Complete sentences
