I also think Tim & Eric are bad.

That remains to be seen, honestly.  They seem aware of some things, but maybe not the big picture here.

I don't really get it. All she (or her agent) would have to do was look at any of the Sony spiderman movies without spiderman to see that they aren't some kind of fancy art thing. And even the Venom movies which were the best received weren't very good.

To be fair, the people who voted for Trump also claim to hate Hollywood and also want different movies. It’s just that they movies they want to see are either about Jesus, or about a muscular white guy who beats up foreigners.

Eh. I’ve seen earlier interviews where she was singing its praises and getting annoyed at interviewers’ incredulous responses to said praises. If *that* was her *acting* like she really believed in the film, then it was arguably her greatest performance yet.

did she think it was going to be an indie art flick about a superhero?

Counterpoint: This is exactly what she signed up for.

“Johnson may never reveal exactly what the difference is between the Madame Web she signed up for and the one that made it to the screen”

evans has been working like crazy, it’s just all been streaming stuff. i just think it’s wild nothing he’s been in has come out in a theatre in 5 years.

Dakota Johnson WISHES she could be in the MCU. She’s in the Sonyverse, which is like if the MCU had flunked out of college but still thinks it’s too good to work for its dad’s dealership. Or something. Idk.

I’m also getting a little tired of the Elizabeth Olson/Dakota Johnson thing where they act like they’re slumming it by appearing in the MCU. If you couldn’t elevate the material that speaks to your abilities as an actor. 

Most contemporary AVC pieces have a weird tone; the writers want to have their snark and eat it, too.

I think if you watched Secret Invasion you might actually be more confused watching The Marvels. The movie seems to ignore the major development at the end of the show.

What is funny is Marvel took a real smart approach early on with making individual movies with just a few hints of connection and, as much as people claim otherwise, really did not change that model until almost the end of Phase 3(if you ignore Iron Man 2 which you should).    Post Endgame it feels like everything is…

To be fair, between two Fantastic Fours, Push, The Losers, Scott Pilgrim, and his prolonged Captaincy of America, I imagine he’s scratched his comic-book itch quite comprehensively.

The tone of this piece is weird. Ignoring the current state of the MCU (which I’ve personally moved on from), are we going to pretend that the Infinity Saga wasn’t 1) fun as hell and 2) a genuine narrative feat tying together 23 movies over an 11 year stretch?

I’m pretty sure the writers feel the same way. The problem is that the older Lorne gets, the more broad and lowest-common-denominator he wants the sketches to be. He really HAS to go. 

These are all freakishly talented and funny people at SNL, but for the life of me I can’t understand why they always always always go for the lowest hanging fruit in their sketch jokes. Like dude, it’s like all their writing is just “what’s the first thing I think of? Cool let’s write the whole week based on that.”

I take a different view: Taylor Swift has potentially reached the maximum amount of fame possible, but it’s simply not on the same level of past cultural juggernauts. As much as the internet and social media has allowed her to be a worldwide sensation and reach audiences that an artist, even a successful American one,…

Taylor Swift has reached a level of fame that is almost incomprehensible. I thought it was funny that Travis Kelce compared her level of global fame to his, being famous in Kansas City, which is not quite the same thing
