(But it had James Corden in it so must be disregarded, ugh. Why not pick literally any other British actor?)

I really wish I understood the entertainment industry at times. Certain actors, producers, writers, directors - I'm just shocked that people in charge find them to be good in any way, shape or form.

I love the driver saying "Oh wow" in a way that suggests only disgust and contempt.

I actually enjoy the movies, as mindless entertainment. I saw the first one in a theatre. Would I pay to see the other two in a theatre? No, but I'll watch them. There's far worse out there that still makes money.

This guy is weird, I dont know anything about him other than what I saw on Dr Who. He seems to be everywhere I am not.

No, sorry that's not allowed.

Yeah maybe this is a demonstration that star power is still a thing, but you need to assemble a whole crew of low-A through high-C tier actors and combine it with an anodyne and inoffensive premise and simple "luxury"-oriented visual style to make it work? That's essentially what Ocean's Eleven did.

Yeah that is the one thing; the films have always had seemingly way too good of a cast. The new one even has Rosamund Pike!

(Ocean's Eight, the all-female version also worked, making $300m on a $70m budget with an identical formula. But it had James Corden in it so must be disregarded, ugh. Why not pick literally any other British actor?)

I can think of a few British comedians I'd like to see less than Corden, but yeah, that's a select group.

Yes that's what is very bizarre. I was expecting there to be like a twist in the first one where at least one of them was like, an actual wizard, but that didn't happen.

I feel like the last scene of the original claimed that they were using actual magic, but the writing is so bad, it was a really muddled statement it was making. So maybe I just misunderstood the gibberish at that point.

The first season of the Wheel of Time suggests that she has some serious bills to pay right now.

By all accounts, the following two seasons have been covering those tabs handily
