seems to me like a24 is this era's equivalent of early-2000s focus features. i look forward to them getting bought by a studio and suddenly, mysteriously putting out awful titles

Honestly, I think we're all better off having John Wick clones over all the Taken clones we were getting for years.

taken clones that all also starred liam neeson oddly enough

It's hard to underestimate what a hot property Halle Berry was at the time, let alone in relation to Bassett.

bassett was their first choice and wanted too much money. x-men was before berry's oscar

thanks donald trump, because of your clusterfuck of an administration I'm now convinced that no mergers will be denied unless the CEO of one or both companies comes out and calls you a little bitch boy personally

or one of the companies is chinese

Remember how one of the big episodes in the movie Ray is Ray Charles being banned for life from entering the state of Georgia when he refuses to play at a segregated venue? That never happened in real life. They made it up, because apparently Ray Charles's actual life wasn't dramatic enough.

haven't seen ray since it was in the theater but don't they also intimate that was responsible for "georgia on my mind?"

This poo poo is so sad. They keep turning out these forgettable regurgitated remakes over and over again and all they're concerned about is money. It has nothing to do with legitimate art or vision.

Disney is a corporation, though. I guess money is their primary interest, after all.

i miss the good old days when disney used to stand for something, like...uh....like...

Remember when Jon Favreau made a movie about not wanting to be a soulless sellout, and then followed it up with Jungle Book and Lion King remakes and a Star Wars show?

chef is about the uncompromising will of a white man to repackage cuban food and sell it at a premium, with the doe-eyed approval of his ridiculously attractive love interests and a family and staff who exist solely to serve his vision, and in defiance of anyone who would dare suggest his work is anything less than perfection. his food truck is literally named "el jefe." chef loving sucks.

Wow, yeah, it definitely appears as tho those people all entered the show with financial problems, were offered solutions for some debts and to have workable solutions installed for others, and all exit the process on the other side in a better life situation without having been exploited were lured into a rape.

Ashton is a monster.

We have this show in Sweden as well and it's really fun. It's not really going after people born into extreme poverty or whatever, but rather people who could live comfortably if they just weren't completely loving clueless with their money. Like buying high end TV's and computers when you can barely afford food. Stuff like that. Then they get 2 experts to help them with all their dozens of loans and tell them how interest and money works

i think if they can "barely afford food" they're not really "living comfortably."
