Hudson Hawk should've won Best Picture at the 64th Academy Awards. Willis should get a lifetime achievement award for that film alone. There is truly no justice in this world.
People like Seinfeld don't even know what they're supporting, and if Seinfeld is aware then he's exactly the POS the students claim him to be.
Stallone hasn't been able to write or act with even a hint of intelligent subtlety since First Blood (excepting perhaps the end of Rambo II). He's the textbook example of someone who quickly cashed in on the superficialness of the early 1980s and never since climbed out of the meat headed depths to which he sank. If I see Stallone's name attached to anything I automatically think it'll be brainless cheese.
What liberals today don't understand is that they've morphed into the Republicans of the 1980s, with the exception of a couple of things like the promotion of trans rights to give the superficial appearance of old-time liberalism.
Fair enough. Me, if I think a series sucks right out of the gate in the first couple of episodes, I give up on it immediately.
Carpenter is still living in the 1970s, unfortunately, making the basic assumption that Republicans are bad and Democrats are good. Maybe he'll wise up and see how corrupt both parties are. Look what's happening under Biden. Massive inflation, multiple new warfronts, effectively open borders, zero attention paid to the needs of Americans in general. Yet Carpenter thinks things would've been worse under Trump? That's an extremely uninformed, naive viewpoint. Probably he's not paying much attention to the world, focusing mainly on smoking ganja and playing video games.
So you watched the entire series despite finding it uniformly boring? Or did you watch only the final episode? Either way, your review sounds like disingenuous, trollish bullshit.
Could be. I wouldn't know, of course. I do have vague recollections from one of the Jaws documentaries that Spielberg was so stressed out with the filming that someone hooked him up with a local girl. It implied to me that no girls were seeking him out nor was Spielberg himself looking for anyone.
The way Spielberg's friends tell the story (or were coaxed into telling it), Spielberg at that time was a super nerd who was clumsy with women. Other people set him up with stress-relieving sexual liaisons. I doubt he had time to go prowling about, and I also doubt whether his pals expended much effort beyond getting him a loyal groupie or two during the run of the filming.

It was an effective scene, but there was nothing great about her acting. She's cute in an accessible, chilled, bohemian sort of way, but not much of an actress. I used to be more charitable to slow moving waitresses if they were cute and at least marginally more friendly than average.
