UHHHHHHHH why is that the hottest Cumberbatch has ever looked?! These fuckers need to make movies LIKE THIS! Fuck all that makeup and hairstyling to make them look good. What a waste when Cumberbatch rolls out of bed hotter than he's been in any movie DAMN!

Don't you bitches know that - for a fee - I'm available?

Yawn. Nice idea, but there’s nothing visually interesting about watching a grainy grid of people in their homes staring at their webcam. Really shows the importance of “movie magic”.

Hard pass on all these charity shows and TV reunions on Zoom.

Is there anything more dull than adults wallowing in kiddie stuff? Okay, you had some kids. Go raise them and stop talking about it. Keep storytime in the bedroom.

That Taika Waititi is a pain - I could handle about 30 seconds of him MAX.

AWFUL.

r4 it's because 1/2 of his face is obscured.

I just don;t get the thrill other people get (or the thrill that celebrities seem to think other people get) when they see celebrities engage in these collaborative COVID projects, like this and that obnoxious Gal Gadot "Imagine" video. It seems like virtue signalling and also like they're bragging they're friends with one another.

That being said, if it were just Taika Waititi reading the whole book I would find it enjoyable. He's very funny and sweet. I just don't want to see people like Mindy "Needy and Homely" Kaling and Beanie 'Who?" Feldstein.

Any truth to the rumor that James was *looks around and whispers* gay? And the giant peach was a euphemism for someone’s hiney?
