New Joss Whedon interview.
Intriguing:
There are a few other interesting and valuable bits in the interview — it's worth checking out.

Parallels as eerie as fuck, except more than half the nation won't be voting for the Orange guy.
Nice try though.
I don't think the vote results are among the parallels he has in mind.
More than half of Germany didn't vote the Nazis in either...
Which still wouldn't make it a parallel, given significant factors like Hitler being appointed chancellor, the Enabling Act, etc. I'm not sure if Ezee had 1932 in mind as a causal link to the chancellorship, but, in that case, the NSDAP only received 37 percent of all of the votes or thereabouts? Ezee may have been thinking of the plebiscite vote in 1934. Either way, none of this suggests a parallel; there are many historical and contextual differences.
In that interview response, Whedon seems to have other aspects in mind and was not trying to draw a parallel in terms of the casting of votes.
I admittedly have more to learn about the historical context, so I can't really speak to whether or not he has a strong basis for drawing parallels in terms of the "propaganda, the state of the country."

Shawn Levy for Uncharted?
Yeeeeeeesh!! Blech!
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
I know he's made very bad movies, but this year he directed two of the better Stranger Things episodes (in addition to likely getting the show off the ground) and also helmed one of my favourite Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt episodes ("Kimmy Drives A Car!), so I'm finding it harder to label him as a total hack these days.
EDIT: He also produced Arrival. It is excellent.

South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (Parker, 1999)
Beastie Boys Story (Jonze, 2020)

The Hunger (Scott, 1983)
Pineapple Express (Green, 2008)
Chungking Express (Wong, 1994)
None of this matters until the movie goes into production. I expect 2 or 3 more director changes.
The erratic song that is this movie's development plays on.

Oh shit. Where did this come from?
Whoa.
Sweet.
For someone that didn't really like the first movie, I have to admit, this looks fun.
I was heretofore unaware that I wanted to see [].
The first movie was utter nonsense but pretty slick fun. Hoping this one is the same.

Will reserve judgment until I hear the anal sex joke in this one.

"Swingers is a pretty rad movie, man."
"One day that dude's gonna direct live action adaptations of Iron Man, The Jungle Book and The Lion King."
"What the fuck are you talking about?"
"I can just feel it. In the wind."

Hey if anyone is interested in seeing the latest Kodi Smit-McPee movie compressed to a couple of minutes (the best way to see him, actually), here ya go.
It might actually be pretty interesting if the whole thing is without dialogue, which the opening narration there throws you off from assuming it is.
If that voiceover is a trailer-only device, then that's cool for a big(ish) movie to go the wordless route. Not sure how good it looks beyond that, though.

Yeah, hey, if he never speaks beyond grunts maybe he won't annoy me for once. Unlikely.Quoting Henry Gale (view post)
This is the most spoilery trailer I've seen in a while. This to me is the perfect example of a trailer telling the entire story of a movie. It literally has the ending in it.
Movie Theater DiaryQuoting Donald Glover
Yeah I saw that pop up too. I was excited for the first half of it, then I shut it off becuase...TOO MUCH!! Its probably way overboard how much this kind of stuff infuriates me.
Why am I interested in that?
