    Yes. Yes you all fucking do. Especially to Leslie Jones, who was harassed with some of the most vile, disgusting racist garbage over this film, in addition to the misogyny all the women got. This was always a good film, but a lot of y’all were blinded by rage-bait to realise it.

    For those coming around to how cool @marcmaron.bsky.social is, watch the movie To Leslie. Such a good actor to, and the role is perfect for him. A kind of wisdom and compassion in the character that is tailor made for performer

    I have a very very very very very very very high opinion of Ghostbusters which is an excellent film, much higher than the absurd revisionist idea that it's nothing special and actually pretty bad actually which emerged bc people were dicks to Leslie Jones about it not bc of the movie itself.

    New Naked Gun was the funniest movie ive seen in years. I was crying laughing. There's a very nice tribute to Leslie Nielsen at one point in the movie i thought was really cute. They didn't use AI or CG to recreate him and im so fucking glad for that

    cannot recommend the movie To Leslie (it’s on Netflix too) enough. I’ve posted repeatedly about how great a film it is, but my love of it has only grown over time. One of many amazing things about it is how it show, better than any other movie I can think of, how much addiction creates a situation…

    Casting Liam Neeson as the follow-up to Leslie Nielsen is either the most inspired or most tone-deaf choice for deadpan slapstick comedy but I gotta be honest I can't wait to find out which.

    Alright. Second movie of my 5 hour flight: The Naked Gun. I have real high expectations of anyone trying to pay homage to Leslie Nielsen. But it opened real strong. Then a perfect OJ reference. I am impressed. 4/5 🌈

    Hell yeah! I think Liam Neeson will do a good job at having that deadpan serious style that Leslie Nielson had. But I also like to think that they picked Liam Neeson because his name is the closest of any Hollywood actor's to Leslie Nielson, because that amuses me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8-N...

    Andrea Riseborough has been deliberately snubbed because of her nomination tactics around “To Leslie” (a really good film) or “Please Baby Please”. Can’t remember which. Evidently one is not supposed to push being nominated if one is the producer/director. Harry Melling is a revelation.
