We’re at an impasse, because, yet again, my response is...and? The reviewer referred to the characters who are returning for the sequel and are thus relevant for the review.

But why do you think it’s so important for the author to refer to the character in his review? If the reviewer were listing the characters of The Office and omitted Dwight my response would be: “oh, weird, they forgot Dwight. Moving on.” And then if I subsequently learned that Rainn Wilson had been accused of raping…

...and?

The vehemence is very weird. “Say what you will about Danny Masterson, but you honor the memory of beloved television icon Stephen Hyde!”

Interestingly nobody seems to be upset that Eric’s sister Laurie isn’t mentioned in the article or accounted for in the new show, as far as we know.

Find the cheerleader’s agent, save the world!

Would guess the dude, who lost his wife, probably just wants a say on how her final project is wrapped up.

On Hyde not being on the show - why is it so unbelievable to people? I had a best friend in high school (someone I saw every day back then and my parents knew and treated like a second son) that I stopped being friends with afterwards because he changed for the worse and wasn’t fun to hang out with anymore.

Stuff-in-a-screen films ultimately feel like a solution in search of a problem. Perhaps people don’t think there would be buy-in if you just dove into the computer for investigations in a more traditionally-formatted film, but the contrivance of “everything is happening in the view of this webcam” never really lands…

So what about if you’re trying to watch on a tablet, phone, or even airplane seat TV? Here I was on a long flight with The Long Night downloaded to my tablet ready to watch, only to not able to see correctly the damn thing. Mobile devices don’t have 4k HDR and your options to adjust the lighting are limited.

OK, but there seems to be something arrogant about assuming that I’m going to fiddle with my TV settings, or sit in a wholly darkened room, to watch this stuff.  Like, I’m trying to wash fucking dishes.  Make it work for that!

Have you considered that you might have just been lucky, rather than everyone except you being an idiot?

I was going to say the same thing. Soderbergh figured out how to use her. That film reminded me of early Arnold films like Commando, Arnold couldn’t act but they figured out how to work around that. Whoever is directing these Daily Wire movies is no Soderbergh. 

This, I don’t really like. Steven Seagal, Chuck Norris, and guys with big accents and slow-developing acting chops became stars making this kind of movie; Gina Carano is not a good actor but the idea that she couldn’t be coached to at least to a Steven Seagal level just tells me Soderbergh was being precious.

THANK YOU she was fucking terrible in Mandalorian, it’s mind-boggling that anybody wanted her to lead a series.

Yeah, one of the original film’s greatest strengths is its relatability. The story and its characters were so relatable that, while the Black experience was front and center, it resonated with people (at least in the US) regardless of ethnicity or socioeconomic status.

You know, I appreciate a writer willing to review a movie on its own dumb level and grade it as such. Nicely done, Jordan!

It is shitty.

The thing is: it’s pretty hard to generate sympathy for a *superhero* who willingly endangers the, uh, multiverse because they missed some quality time with their family, or because their secret identity got leaked and it’s fucking with their personal life. Even if you’re like “yeah that sucks”, it’s still an…
