I think at this particular point in time, if it’s a standard superhero film, it IS a bad film. Because being “standard superhero” inherently means it’s a relatively boring version of the most common type of movie of the last 10 years.

As a dad, I value the ability to play portable, so I can sneak in 5 and 10 minute bursts of play. I would much rather it be less pretty and portable than have it be higher powered and static.

The Messenger was so so good. I will have to check this one out. Didn’t realize it was a story prequel. 

Holy crap! I have memories of coming home from school to play this game, waking up early to play this game, sneaking downstairs in the middle of the night to play this game... One of my favorite SNES games of all time and I couldn’t be happier about a remake.

Yup! Get excited! Very pumped for a lot of people to be introduced to the the man, the myth, the legend...

It’s not a good Beastmaster remake, doesn’t have the ferrets.

I was a big fan of the DCAU as a kid but not really sure that two guys whose primary experience is in writing animated shows that had mostly standalone episodes would be good at orchestrating a live-action cinematic universe. I also think some of the stuff they’ve produced or written on the animated movie side…

I’ve gotta admit - I broadly agree with this list.

I really disagree with the general consensus about that scene from critics and a whole swath of fans. I’ve seen so many people claim that it shows how crappy and arrogant Walt is that he won’t even indulge Jimmy in a thought experiment, and use it to complain about Walt as an awful person one more time. But I saw it…

“Let’s Have A Jake Gyllenhall Christmas” just doesn’t have the same ring to it, though.

I don’t know that that’s as hot a take as it seems.

Yeah, I don’t know that they know what “auteur” means.

This one was a baffling article as it starts with admitting that there are discussions about Marvel’s direction, then all the other slides essentially argue that MCU is actually doing absolutely awesome, no notes, everything is great. Like I was not expecting bashing, nor do I think it would have been correct, but…

Hot Take:

Kevin Smith already made a fictionalized making of Clerks movie. It was the underrated Zack & Miri Make a Porno.

Ms. Marvel is the best MCU show and, in fact, the best MCU project in a Ling time

Okay hold on, let’s back up a sec. Tony Soprano was a bad guy, but he wasn’t the story’s antagonist. He, like Walter White, was an anti-hero. The Sopranos cast him as the protagonist of its story, while acknowledging that he was more bad than good. Still, it invited the audience to sympathize with him anyway, to see…

You just want a proper Gotham Central show don’t you?
