F. Scott was a playboy. Hemingway was a womanizer. (Or misogynist, if you prefer.)

"Playboy" is too cosmopolitan a word for Hemingway.

Sumner Redstone is a real jerk, too. An unprofessional one, at that.

I saw the preview on the official web site.

Both Penn and the movie look unspeakably awful. No wonder this has been held back for over a year.

Another good novel down the drain. (Never saw the first ATKM.)

When the star's name is used to sell the film, I think it's approprate. Otherwise, as I've said before, the star should take secondary billing. Really, Magilla? You would let a contractual decision between a star's agent and a producer determine in your mind who a film's lead performance is? Based ...

I agreed with the Brando/Pacino positioning with The Godfather. Even though Pacino had the larger role, the deference of Pacino and the other actors, as well as his titular role, made him the sole star if there was to be only one star or best actor contender. They were both the titular role. One wa...

As you can see I DID ask for clarification AND I mention this is the wrong thread for this discussion. Days ago!! Tell me again how I'm a liar. I wasn't talking about THAT! I was talking about the New Developments thread. Which I made clear. "And yet it's proven over and over again, as recentl...

I actually wrote something far more compelling. Fortunately, I erased it. Sonic, I saw your original reply before you erased it. You should keep it on file for another time because I think it was pretty on point. Maybe, but it would have exascerbated things. I don't think people who want to read ab...

I will only say that this statement is your least compelling argument yet. It wasn't an argument. It was dismissive ad hominum . I actually wrote something far more compelling.

It wasn't considered a given that more than one nuclear holocaust anxiety film would be made in 1964? I need to see it again. I haven't seen it since high school, and I thought it was very well made but much too earnest and high-minded. But I've found it curious that Lumet has a much stronger visua...

If I'm so sneaky, how come you think I'm dumb?
