i like the casting, but why is this a movie? lol

[scriptedending]

I'm guessing it's at least in part bc of the upcoming movie Mank (which is about the making of Citizen Kane) getting a ton of Oscar buzz.

i recently read Evan's The Kid Stays in the Picture, and 70% of it was just all about the women he fucked and how much he loved his house

Bill Hader did a perfect job in the Documentary Now! Take on Evans. Gyllenhaal seems completely wrong for the part.
