You make many good points. It’s true that the audience for female-led action films might be much smaller than the “representation” crowd claims, and I don’t think it’s wise that so many of these films focus their marketing almost exclusively on female audiences (ex. Charlie’s Angels). It’s one thing to say they can…

I’m more optimistic than most. Yes, they are two different type of actress (I’m pretty sure Audrey Hepburn never had a nipple pierced for a role) but Hepburn as a person is different. If Mara doesn’t lean too hard on impersonating her and just focus on acting, it will be fine.

I definitely said that this was a question of having no better offer on the table.

The problem with action movies led by women is that it’s often obvious that the actresses in it wanted to do an action film but had no good offer on the table, so they picked the least worst of the bunch and hoped for the best. That, or the lack of choices makes it hard for them to judge the quality of a project. I…

I kept on feeling a twinge about how closely this story arc hewed to that tired white savior trope, but this was mostly allayed by the fact that Temuera Morrison is Maori, who knows the ethnicity of the people inside the sand people costumes, and also, they’re all pretend space people.

“There is no reasonable person that could have watched it and not seen it as a light-hearted conversation amongst colleagues and chums having a larf”

That’s why we can’t have nice things.

Update this article. He denied he was being serious.

Video games being blamed for everything wrong in the world isn’t new but even by the usual standards, Wheeler’s and McGregor’s takes are spectacularly bad. The Madden series isn’t known for being particularly violent and I fail to see how these specific games made the real sport more dangerous. If anything, the video…

It’s not trying to expand on Star Wars and offer new insights on characters you may not have known or cared about before, it’s trying to make more Star Wars that faithfully emulates what’s good about the original movies.

I don’t like the look of this film. It doesn’t have the “realism” of the Nolan films and yet, the costume designs are duller, for some reason.

Or he really did just died suddenly, from a heart attack or something like it. The news was only known very late last night so details are scarce.

The musical number just didn’t work for me. They were probably going for a “rake effect” but I think brevity would have helped in that case. I regret watching it until the end.

I haven’t read those books but I also haven’t read the books Game of Thrones was based on either and it made me appreciate how the latter build up it’s world compared to WOT. There was comparatively very little happening in Season 1 of GOT and it gave us the time to absorb the many characters, kingdoms, factions,…

1- They really should have kept Kingpin for another show, or limited him to a cameo. It was not a good use of d’Onofrio and it was just one villain too many in a crowded show.

Even if I didn’t pay attention to the lyrics until I was old enough to speak English (it’s my second language), even if I didn’t know the context, I still always found that song depressing; the melody doesn’t lie. I don’t know what is it with Christmas songs but there is a darkness in many of them that is hard to…

It wasn’t Daredevil season 4, it was Hawkeye season 1; the plot of Daredevil just didn’t matter here.

I feel like the pandemic actually helped this film. People got afraid to go to the movie theaters and everyone made a list in their mind of what film would be worth the risk. Since NWH was an event movie that was always going to make a lot of money nevertheless, it probably also attracted a bunch of people who were…

Honestly, I’m always surprised how little of a deal it is that so many rappers die violently. We’re just resigned to it.

To me, all 3 trilogies have pretty important flaws in them.
