‘This Could Be a Career Ender’: Elizabeth Banks Risks It All for the Gory, R-Rated ‘Cocaine Bear’

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I hope so.

[BradyLS]

The best comedies are out-of-the-blue and word-of-mouth. I’m convinced that trailers and advertising do more to hurt comedies than help them.

[Arcadian Empire]

Charlie’s Angels was bad storytelling.

[Celtic Conservative]

"I had personal experiences with both halves,” he adds. “I’ve seen bears in the wild, and as for cocaine, I mean, yeah, who hasn’t done it?”

I haven't done it, you degenerate.

Setting up sequels. Cocaine Bear3....Toothless Meth Bear.

[Telepathic Intruder]

I’m pretty sure 70 pounds of cocaine would overdose a herd of blue whales.

[GSWarrior]

Cocaine Bear is certain to be a staple at future Ray Liotta film festivals.

[Gay State Conservative]

I think I’m gonna have to miss this one.

[imabadboy99]

translation: she couldn’t get any better job offers, so she’s hyping up cocaine bear in desperate hope that it leads to better work.

[Tijeras_Slim]

“4 Stars! A Tour-de-Force!” Film critic Pablo Escobear…

[Secret Agent Man]

Cocaine Bear...

Hollywood, please, I don’t need any more reasons from you to NOT watch your latest offerings.

[ClearCase_guy]

Hunter says it’s doable.

[KarlInOhio]

Hey, Boo-Boo! Put down that pickanick basket. I’ve found something better.

[PGR88]

I would never do cocaine now.

Chances are high that sooner or later, you’ll get a batch cut with fentanyl.

The Chinese CCP wants Americans dead, the Mexican Cartels certainly don’t care - and many parts of the US Government seem happy to allow both of them to do it.

[metmom]

It’s appalling the point to which our society has fallen to.

[metmom]

Me either.

People like to justify themselves and I have heard that excuse several times.

When I told some guys I worked with that I had never smoked weed, they simply could not believe it. They were sure I was lying because “everyone does it”.

[Rummyfan]

If that POS Charlie's Angels didn't kill her career, nothing will.

[Rummyfan]

But the recent performance of high-concept, R-rated comedies — from “Bros” to “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent,” “Long Shot” to “Tag”...

Bros was a gay romcom - no surprise it didn't find an audience. As for the others, never heard of them.

[Rummyfan]

I will say this for Banks, she came to our base as part of a USO tour back in 2015. She din’t have to do that.
