I actually think Robin Williams might have been better at drama than he was a comedy. He was that good. One Hour Photo is the role to check out. He’s riveting.

Ha!  But I do agree with you on the visuals...

Ennui, fatalism, boredom... =D Appreciate your comment about reflexively dismissing bylines at other sites. 

Ultimately, this comes down to the reputation Barsanti has developed due to, as Robot Jox puts it:

To some commenters on this site, "bad writing" means "opinion I don't like". Or "argument with which I disagree". It's a little maddening.

None of those are superhero movies...

I mean, I’ve been an anime fan since I was in high school, and of all the anime series I’ve seen Bebop was one I did want to see a live-action version of. It’s not like it’s theoretically a hard one to adapt. It’s not a show like Evangelion with a super convoluted plot and mystical mumbo-jumbo with giant robots, it’s…

“Reviewer didn’t like something that I haven’t even seen but want to like = reviewer is dumb and bad.”

He gave it a C and I read the same review you did and it didn’t sound like he “hated” it or damned it.

Why do you keep coming here? Go somewhere you won’t be so miserable. The fact that you feel the need to comment multiple times on every Barsanti article is a bizarre addiction you’re inflicting on yourself. Be free, fly away and find peace.

My first thought was that he’s done a good job explaining why this show sucks.

Use ublock 

Yeah but if you actually read the review, he gives a really damn solid explanation of why he “hates” this particular show and it’s worrying as hell. I already had low expectations, but after reading this I doubt I’ll bother.

About what I expected, honestly. There was no way they’d be able to improve upon Cowboy Bebop without massively diverting from the original (because this wasn’t a show where isolated improvements would make a notable improvement), and the Netflix Suits would be terrified by making any notable changes from the original…

That’s what it means in this context and (professional musician here) though it wasn’t particularly terrible pitch-wise, it just wasn’t good. She was just vocally shaky, though I appreciate that she was singing live. She’s not a good singer. Or a good writer. But I’m clearly in the minority and she doesn’t need me to…

Eee Gads that woman is Sexy.

Hear me out: Face/Off

Sounds like it’s time for Shuri to die on the way back to her home planet.

You really can’t turn this around into ‘perhaps it is u who are petty’ - the guy gleefully harassed and targeted minorities, and much of his anguish was that his website matured (to a degree) while he didn’t. The Something Awful website bankrolled his entire lifestyle even as he grifted and complained server costs…

Something Awful produced a wild amount of humor and culture for decades and had a massively outsized influence for a long time. It was a place where I learned a lot about writing, about politics and some other things.
