Quite honestly...it makes me respect her so much more.

She didnt have to go and become an actress, she didnt have to make all these shows, she doesnt have to keep working. She does it because of her own internal drive and I respect that.

You might be shocked how many people in comedy have rich parents. It helps not having to worry about money when you’re working your way up in the business.

Nick Kroll has a billionaire daddy as well. There are countless guys like Conan and Mark Maron with doctors as parents. And that doesn’t even include the nepo-babies like Hanna Einbinder and Maya Rudolph.

Her cousins own football clubs.

One owns Marseilles. The other (only 26 years old) bought Sunderland while it was in League 1 (now in EFL Championship).

Very wealth family all stemming from her Great-Great-Grandfather i believe.

i know I should not have clicked the link, but having read the books, there's no 'real' spoilers.

but holy sht... that scene is going to blow people away in Imax, especially if you don't know the story.

IFC has had some incredible horror movies over the years including the Babadook. Here is their latest, Late Night with the Devil. 100% on Rotten Tomatoes with 38 critic reviews which will be released in March and takes place in the 70s.

Not gonna lie, cities being blown to #### by monsters never gets old to me. It tickles my inner anarchist. I'd pay for an extra seat for my coat just to boost box office numbers

Oh I get it. I liked Godzilla vs. Kong. I could throw that movie on pretty much anytime...in the background. Guilty pleasure.

I love Pacific Rim...monsters fighting giant robots? Sign me up.

Its brainless fun. I'm fine with that from time to time.

But I watched the 'Monarch' series which, sadly, wasnt great. I just worry that they're wearing it out.
