Yep. To be anything other than a straight white man in Hollywood is an invitation to be questioned and doubted. And then subsequently gaslit by those same people and people dumb enough to fall for it.

Like what?

Just one so far. With much less traction than the original (and also misspelled her name before someone called them out).

They can’t/won’t even deal with their troll problem. You really expect them to know how to spell the name of the director they’re writing about? You’re asking for too much.

The way this industry treats Black people, especially Black women, is shameful.

It’s still crazy to me that they’ve already planned out television shows for their new DC universe before they’ve even started filming their first movie. See if people actually like the new universe this time before you keep adding more to it.

I never said he shouldn’t answer questions. I said he’s not a silly old man who keeps getting tricked into talking about it by random journalists.

Sure, but it’s not exactly his first press tour. If he wanted to not talk about it, he wouldn’t have.

Well Scorsese didn’t just mention Marvel (and similar types of blockbusters in general) once and stop. He’s been talking about it ever since, including during his press tour for Killers of the Flower Moon. He recently called on filmmakers to “fight back” against comic book movies, and Edgar Wright jokingly called him…

I didn’t say they’re more responsible, I said they’re part of the problem that he claims to have. Of course he’s not going to call them out because they’re the only ones who still pay for his movies. But if he claims he cares about the culture of Cinema then he should, because they’re not giving $200 million dollars…

Yes, obviously he thinks that. But those same tech companies paying for his movies are also to blame. The rise of streaming (as well as the pandemic) have given people a faster and more convenient way to see movies. So now movies that have things like explosions, car chases, people shooting lasers out of their hands,…

There are also people who don’t seem to be satisfied with getting $200 million dollar movies bankrolled by tech companies and getting three weeks of IMAX exclusivity in their 70s/80s.

He got to make some of the highest grossing movies of all time and made a ton of money. And he got to do it with his big brother.

This is an absolute dream come true for the AV Club staff.

The strikes. It’s hard to promote movies without your cast (no photoshoots, interviews, conference appearances, etc).

Apple TV+ has the confidence of a streaming service people actually pay for.

I haven’t seen the film yet, so I can’t say whether or not the Osage characters were underdeveloped or underutilized. But if the events displayed were graphic and tragic, that’s because the real-life events were too, and it’s important that it doesn’t get forgotten.

Capital-C Cinema triumphed at the box office for the second weekend in a row, fending off the pretenders.

…Isn’t this a spinoff of another show set in the same universe? But it’s succeeding because people…don’t like universes? And Loki isn’t doing well based on…? And The Boys/Gen V are doing better based on…?

I liked season one, but something about season 2 didn’t click with me. I think the novelty wore off. It’s a shame though.
