I’ve never seen Doctor Who.

You say you’ve never even seen Doctor Who before so by your own admission your opinion is uninformed and therefore offers nothing of substance. This is a community for discussing movies and television. Not your personal soapbox for airing your uninformed culture war grievances. Take that somewhere else.

That’s fair. Sony hasn’t done much lately with their own live action Spider-Man related projects to deserve the benefit of the doubt but I’m willing to be surprised. Nic Cage leading the series is at least enough to get me to give it an honest chance.

It’s a biopic about getting Rocky made.

The official logline for “I Play Rocky” reads: “A struggling actor with a partially paralyzed face and a speech impediment writes a script that a big movie studio wants to buy, but he refuses to sell it unless he gets to play the lead. Turning down an offer of life-changing money, he instead works for pennies to get the movie made with himself in the starring role. The movie becomes the biggest box office hit of 1976, garnering 10 Academy Award nominations and winning Best Picture.”

But even without that context I don’t understand why that’d be strange. Loads of biopics have been made about famous actors who’ve appeared in lots of films with a much less interesting story than how Sly brought Rocky to the screen by gambling on himself.

No. She’s been in custody since she was convicted on March 6th which is 17 months short of her 18 month sentence.

Nested comments are so much easier to follow with this UI. I find it very difficult to keep my place in conversations using the default lemmy front end on desktop which is why I’ve stuck with photon or alexandrite. But I will absolutely be using this UI as soon as it’s fully functional. It looks great so far!

I love that! It’s a funny anecdote and very endearing. John Williams is a giant in the industry but didn’t seem to have an ego about himself when it came to the daunting task of scoring such a powerful film.

I think that’s the kind of attitude you’d want from a composer for a film like Schindler’s List. Someone that recognizes the importance of the film and who is going to work their ass off to do the film justice rather than someone waltzing in and treating it like they’re working on a run of the mill movie gig.
