Yeah it’s like that time Christian Bale blew up on that DP on the set of Terminator. From what I’ve heard the DP was causing general fuckery on set and Bale was basically the only one with enough clout to check him... so he did haha 

I agree with all of this. And I would also argue that James Bond is rooted in a very particular set of male anxieties that do not necessarily work when transposed into a female character. The conspicuous consumerism of the Bond books and the opulence of the early films reflects British cultural anxieties over post-war…

It is vitally important to point out that the people who are trying to make the “James Bond should totally be a woman” thing happen do not watch, and have no interest in ever watching, James Bond movies.

The difference is that MCU and already existing IP movies are arguably sucking up all the oxygen ($$$), There is a genuine concern that the finances of making movies these days is homogenizing movies to a sad degree. And stifling creativity.

I enjoy MCU stuff. I love Star Wars. But I think it’s a real concern when for…

Sweet christ. What did 110 minute movies do to make Hollywood executives hate them so much? 

Been watching a lot of pre-CGI movies. Wish we would get the balance right.

Yet Eternals proves, maybe once and for all, that who’s behind the camera of these quality-controlled blockbusters may not matter so much.

“Cold and brutal is what makes that character work, even if he’s not very human at times.”

The film’s trailer opens on Jefferson Airplane’s “Go Ask Alice”

This review is about what I expected based on the trailer. I don’t think Marvel gets enough credit for how consistently high a floor they have for their movies and I think they get way too much credit given how consistently low their ceilings are. The majority of their movies are B-’s or B’s. If I think of ones that…

OK, the live streamer grading the fight in progress is a pretty good gag.

This is the clip that got me hyped.

Its just going to be a bit of a hard pill to swallow honestly. Like with Shang Chi it makes sense that hes just one guy and the 10 Rings is a criminal enterprise who probably took advantage of the turmoil the world.

They are someone with a weird hate boner obsession with Snyder.

Oh no, didn’t anyone tell him that we’re not allowed to criticize comic movies and we have to pretend each one is like what you'd get if Shakespeare wrote Citizen Kane?

That, and it basically at its core was just a retread of a lot of the thematic elements of the first GotG. It was about a bunch of disparate personalities coming together to become a team/family. Then the sequel puts them right back into that same situation, like the first movie didn’t already cement these…

This one always grinds my gears.  CA:TWS is in no way a “spy” movie if that term is to have any meaning.  It has a similar tone to SOME spy movies, but that’s about as far as you can take. 

Actually, in the Sopranos, it was clearly stated that Christopher was a cousin to both Tony and Carmela and that he was more closely related to Carmela.

It’s possible for two people to share the same cousin but not be related themselves, except in the deep sense in which we all are related.

I believe this was the case…

Yeah I can’t think of much worse than “MOAR PREQUELS TO ESTABLISHED CHARACTERS!!!!”. I mean, it’s one thing to introduce a new character in a film that is, technically, a prequel (though I really wish origin stories would keep the “origin” bit to an absolute minimum). That’s bad enough. But taking characters who were…
