Breaking down the role, the director said that his version of Macrinus "was a prisoner of war — probably at a North African state — and actually was taken to Rome probably as a gladiator. Survived. Got free. Got into the business of maybe making wine and bread. He evolved into a very rich merchant selling shit to the Roman armies — food, oil, wine, cloth, weapons, everything."
"He maybe had a million men spread around Europe. So he was a billionaire at the time," Scott continued. "He's also a gangster — very close to Trump. A clever gangster."
Why the fuck is an 87 year old talking like a more retarded millennial? I know he's not the writer, but this still just comes across as so weak. Speak with some conviction, and leave out the guesswork. Or, if that stuff is important, talk to the writers so you can see what they were envisioning, as far as fleshing everything out goes.
Also, people love "clever gangsters." Not sure where the dunk is. Their version of Trump might be even cooler than the real-life version.
Wow, are those people retarded. Hamill and Takei are really bad, not familiar with Reiner but...Stephen King is like Lord of the Retards. King seems to be a True Believer.
Yeah King is so egregious, it feels like a performance. He's got some filthy closets he doesn't want opened. The kid orgy at the end of IT probably shoulda been a hint for all of us, decades ago.

"Nooo, you chuds! It's not an orgy! All the guys just run a train on the only girl there so that the evil white man faced monster doesn't get them all!"
... 🤔
Do they make industrial sized woodchippers? Asking for a movie industry.

It's a spoiler so be warned if anyone actually cares.
Macrinus wants to topple Rome because he was a slave of Marcus Aurelius. He mocks the dream of Rome envisioned by dead/old (white) men and wants Rome destroyed because he's butthurt. Then the grandson of his master kills him and thwarts his plan. There's something funny there.
That would canonize these comments. Canon opens it up to the rules of plot and continuity, and detracts from the work permanently if it fails to gel properly with the rest of the established canon.
Saying maybe allows it to be interpretation instead. Which means its "true" until someone points out how it doesn't work within the story or history, then its easily dismissed as just implied or inspiration instead of hard truth.
Its the "nose on, nose off" Jon Stewart method applied to creating works.
Culture. Women and normie/ NPC men get periodic updates for their mindsets. As such, people who were articulate decades ago now talk like valley girls.

No idea, but ...
George Takei
Stephen King
Rob Reiner
Mark Hamill
it's not exactly an uncommon thing. I just assume that they're all pedophiles at this point.
Fair point.

looks at Neil Gaiman and his current run of people noticing Yeah, it's safe to say that most of that crop of writers has some skeletons.
There are many other ways of symbolizing leaving childhood behind that don't involve sex.
Are you talking people who don't even run their own Twitter accounts
Maybe it's a terminally online thing?
Maybe that should have been the movie.
Denzel Washington as Nicolas Cage as Lord of War, in Rome?
...I'd watch it.
A black African warlord flashing his bling in the colosseum and speaking “New Yorker” to all the Romans.
“Yo, we killin’ Caesar, you feel me?”
lol, if that doesn’t win the Oscar, I dunno what will.

That's what you do to have a job on hollywood. You have to be fake and/or gay. Ridley is aiming for both.
