people talk about how the writing on this website has gone to hell, and while that may be true, the clever snark of the commenters has also really declined.

‘newly popular musical artist plays show in new york.’

second one was also maybe a shade ‘too online’. i feel like a lot of those jokes and references were on borrowed time even by initial release.

yeah for sure. he’s mad at himself for being in his 70s and is blaming young people for it haha.

in a violent nature is out now!

talking about the fact that it’s a ‘the boys is mine’ cover, i reckon.

this is the first time i’ve heard of that karl lagerfeld show. marketing is really in the toilet.

it’s a real thor in her side, eh?

i also think the first avengers movie largely looks like complete shit until at least after the first half.

it’s not even adventurous, it’s just doing the same thing with a different name haha.

well even if that was the plan - they’re doing a bad job of it! if you’re gonna milk an audience, fucking milk them!

worth remembering ashton kutcher is a tech investor first, a creative (a very distant) second. like, DUH, he thinks the thing that stands to generate him millions of dollars is the future. it’s in his best interest for it to be the future!

the entire time i kept thinking about how i wish the movie was just about them fighting a giant robot, like in the comic kamala was reading (writing?) at the beginning.

well it shows just how lazy exec thinking is. it’s not like it was ‘avengers fans’ who went and saw the avengers, they invented the brand for a lot of people.

it looks cool in the movie.

i think they should put the avengers branding to bed completely and only bring it out when they eventually reboot the core 4.

i knew this tech would only manifest itself in the most annoying ways. 

not a bad point, but i can see getting excited about hiring tv guys after whedon did his thing with the first avengers.

saw this at tiff in a full theatre and it went off like a house on fire. i bet it’ll still play well at home, but that was such a good experience.

don’t forget brett goldstein as hercules. that’ll surely pay off any minute.
