    🔥 Inde Navarrette takes a dig at Shane Gillis on SNL: “I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m gonna be in a Marvel movie.. I know it’s really important for Marvel you get really fit, so I’ve been working out a lot, so every morning I put on my little whore outfit and I hit the gym.” 👀

    Thinking about the unmade action-horror film SHADOW COMPANY, that was to be directed by John Carpenter from a script by Shane Black / Fred Dekker, about the re-animated corpses of American soldiers destroying their small American hometown over Christmas. Kurt Russell would have starred.

    One of the best jokes in this movie was Gosling cutting his hand on the glass trying to break in to that building and ending up in an ambulance. Shane Black grounding this bit in reality while everything else around it is absurd is some smart as hell writing

    Harlin also hired a writer who wasn't Shane Black to write his sequel, which feels equally bizarre. without Black and Davis, it might be a fun movie, but it wouldn't be The Long Kiss Goodnight.

    Upstream Color is my favorite movie of all time but Umbrella doing a new reissue of it and Primer is a mistake. Shane Carruth is an unrepentant abuser who doesn’t deserve a single penny from his works.
