Yeah, I think the sentence makes more sense if you substitute “ironic” with “cynical,” but he probably wants to be able to ask Universal for money later on, so he chose a less damning word.

I think they were trying.

I heard he also secretly promised to direct the next 3 Justice League movies, just for you, specifically, and also take of executive control of EA games and make all of their downloadable content free, and also cure gonorrhea and stop the heat death of the universe, just to give you ammo for all the wonderful thing…

You’re mistaken. Every single director you can probably name has just as many unfinished projects as del Toro does.

Does he eat them with a fork?

Huh. No feathers, still.

I say, “Hate the idea, not the person,” because with few exceptions, no one is racist all the time, and most people think racist thoughts once in a while.

Well, what I found weird about your comment is that most of del Toro’s stories are pretty sound. Everything is well-defined and thought-out, pacing is decent, action and emotional beats are plentiful and satisfying, and each scene conveys crucial plot information and moves along the story. His characters often make…

I’d think WW would have dozens of lovers over the years. It would be weird for someone who legitimately loves all humankind (and who has read a 12-volume treatise on the act of physical love) to not establish a relationship or have sex with anyone for 80 years.

I AM an artist, and this work sucks. No doubt these artists are talented, but considering they probably did this for free (and hopefully for a percentage of the print sales) I don’t think the Pros would give their piece more than a day’s work, and the rest... are artists who still think Spawn is cool.

Except that there is no way in either hell or this politically correct era that Disney would allow Andy Serkis to play a black character.

...Who am I supposed to think he is, again?

I’ll say this as a point against the Russos: they got no style.

Anime, as a genre or a medium, is not gross or weird.

“Funnily enough, that is one of the most unpleasant things I have ever written. It was just at the time when I finally parted company with DC Comics over something dreadful that happened around the Watchmen film. Kevin [O’Neill] and I found that we were having some hiccups in our payments, after storming out of…

There’s more to life than story.

Would you say it’s a character piece?

Christ, we really need more than one word to describe all the different things that are called “racist.”

No, you learn more. Have you heard of confirmation bias? The more you learn, the more entrenched your beliefs become. Why do you think churches are full of old people, and young people are always trying to “find themselves”? Old people know who they are, and if society changes so that the things they believe are now…
