Got around to “Obsession” last night. The lead actor constantly pissed me off (maybe this was intentional?) but the actress who plays Nicki was incredible. Either way, lived up to the hype for me.
Might be that the horror/thriller genre has the most original writing these days.

Yea, Obession was brilliant! It definitely lived up to the hype. The actor who played Nicki (Inde Navarrette) was the star of the film - really unsettling performance...

She only made $20k from it, which is a shame since it made $450m at the box office, but it did have a tiny budget in fairness

1978 adult film Debbie Does Dallas

Budget was $50,000
Revenue in excess of $1 billion
Bambi Woods (Debbie) was paid $400 flat fee

Sounds like Dallas did Debbie

[IrishHeart]

Great to see someone make a highbrow contribution after all the chatter about The Odyssey!

She only made $20k but she’s everywhere all the time now. This movie will make her very rich when all is said and done.

[Matt]

I’m trying to get Katie to watch it with me but she’s won’t budge. She’s escared.

I wasn't sure when I first read about the upcoming 'I Play Rocky' movie, but the trailer looks real interesting - Anthony Ippolito looks like a good choice to play Sly!

[Bridger]

@IH-GARY I love the Rocky films. This looks awesome.

WHAT!? only $20k?! thats actually absurd. Hope they gave her a bonus. At least it will surely end up as a jumpoff for her to get more roles in the future, which will surely reward her talent.

[FelixK]

Yea crazy stuff. They could chuck her a mill I'm sure it wouldn't hurt. Anyway, Google says she has two roles lined up, so bright future for sure!

[endo]

I like that.

Took the kids to see Spider-Man:Brand New Day and we all really loved it. I think Holland has to be the best spidey. And it had some of my favorite actors from The Bear too…and Severance

Wow, that was intense. Not bad.

Of course, this is a work of horror fiction, but in psychiatry, there is a disorder with symptoms that are partly similar. Anyone interested in reading a good book on the subject should check out Ian McEwan's 'Enduring Love'. There is also a film adaptation, but I haven't seen it.

Lucky to catch a screening of NOFX: 40 years of fucking up. Also a really cool location as a bonus.

Okay, I’m not a Formula 1 fan—or a sports fan at all, really—but I am a movie fan. Hey.
I’ve actually only just seen this for the first time.

What a string of narrative clichés.
Good grief, Javier Bardem and Brad Pitt. Why do they do this kind of crap?

[Bridger]

100% @endo

It was weak and predictable. AI could have written a better plot.

Makes me appreciate how good Any Given Sunday is.

[WhiskeySandwich]

I actually enjoyed the F1 movie. Yeah it was (almost) everything wrong with Hollywood, but I found it entertaining. If it were realistic it would have been about questionable FIA governance and bizarre race stewardship, but of course it was sponsored by them as an advertisement to expand their viewership and the casual fan doesn't go that deep. I thought RUSH was a much better F1 movie, which had it's own flaws, but I don't expect these people to make documentaries.

[Bridger]

Rush was good, as was Senna and Ford vs Ferrari.

Mind, The Ballad of Ricky Bobby was the best doco style motor racing films.
