Oh I definitely think they were trying to avoid Oppenheimer. Also, I must have missed the barbie box where her narrative is “thoughts of death” that they adapted

Has anyone else noticed that the writing on the site has rebounded a little so far this year? Not to jinx it but we are getting more thoughtful takes and I think I have seen fewer obvious typos? Pray god the AV Club is coming back, we could use it, and now that people don’t trust Rolling Stone anymore would be a great…

um oppenheimer?

This is a very thorough and thoughtful review. It also had me thinking that Brad Falchuk had somehow turned over a new leaf until I got halfway through and notes about aimlessness took over. At its worst, The Politician, Falchuk loses the concept altogether and for some reason makes his supposed-to-be-machiavellian…

Him and Bill Maher have been conditioned by their audiences.  There are audiences who only laugh at things that are funny and audiences that laugh at things that affirm their beliefs, one laugh is easier to get than the other, and now we have Bill Maher anti-woke activist and Dave Chappelle who can’t admit he’s just…

he SUSPECTED people were laughing at the jokes for racist reasons and there’s really no reason to think he was right about that.  People identified with his comedy, the fact that a white crew member laughed at a joke about whatever probably meant his family was like that also.  People don’t often just say “what if it…

Other than Aquaman, which sucks, James Wan is a friggin’ genius so this is a good marriage if it ensures he gets to keep making movies like Malignant. Conjuring 2 and much of the series after that was too religious (I liked The Devil Made Me Do It actually) but the original Conjuring should have been nominated for…

She was marginally better in Big Little Lies, but nobody was v good in the crappy second season.  Honestly, she and Theo James should have been banned from acting for life after Divergent.  It’s really a puzzle how she got cast in this., maybe Michael Mann really does or really doesn’t like Aaron Rodgers.

I remember the first X-Men movie and it was like “oh I guess nobody can fly because $$$”

I know, but I know and I know that what bothers him more than anything, more than aNyTHinG is that he’s not funny.  It is that simple.

see I don’t hate all greys, even greys that I disagree with, I have elevated you because your argument, while wrong (I do not work to be contrarian, I am the real unit and I am not armond white, if you think I’m a dumbfuck that is me that is the dumbfuck), was not wrongly presented

when Neo got redpilled he was woke...en up.  it’s all the same stuff that happens to them, that’s all that they can imagine happening to anyone else, they have no empathy or sympathy, you have to put them through the experience to develop that for them.  We need more escape rooms.  lol jk

I wouldn’t say no to them just doing a season three (ahem without Jonathan Majors)...comic book characters can just come back again and again...then again, I’m not sure where Loki can go as a character now that he is only a good guy but people have said there is a whole storyline about him embracing his godhood as the…

they should have basically cut Downey’s character, that whole plot was simplistic garbage and looked like it was filmed in a closet...it was like a shitty mini-remake of The American President with Han Solo as Michael J. Fox.

fair, and I certainly don’t want to do the thing where someone says “it isn’t a gun issue it’s a mental health issue” and then defines anyone who uses a gun as mentally ill, but it can also be two things

“This summer...she picks things up...and she puts them down!”

I think there were a lot of people meh on Oppenheimer, they just got shouted down by bros or didn’t have the stones (be they balls or ovaries) to say “Barbie was a better movie than Oppenheimer” which it clearly was.  The Killer was just a nothing movie, I can’t believe I sat through the whole…

it was but there’s a difference. Eugene Cordero wasn’t underused, he was used perfectly, for example

I heard Kristen Stewart is biceptual

“Do You Even Revenge, Bro?”
