Ha! So did I.
Misread the title as “Alien v Farrow.” No longer interested.
I don’t know, I think “I refuse to listen to a trans person telling me about their experience of this depiction of transness” is pretty representative of this awful year as well.
From what I’ve seen of queer writing about Silence from the 90's, the movie was considered pretty backwards then, too. It’s more like the rest of the world is finally starting to catch up to what trans people have been saying for 30 years.
Congrats on the most bad faith reading of the article in the comments so far
30 years! That was back before there were people!
This was the era of TGIF and Must See TV: Full House, Family Matters, Home Improvement, Blossom, among others. There were tons. But tonally they may have still felt too similar to 80s sitcoms. Jumping to Malcolm was a smart choice.
Probably for the best. The show, despite losing its worst character, has still been unable to really creatively continue for a while now with a reliance on the same episodes cropping up almost every season.
I used to have framed “Out of Sight,” “Haywire” and “The Limey” posters next to each other on part of my wall, because they’re my three favorite Soderbergh films as I fucking love Steven Soderbergh’s crime work. I had no problem ditching the “Haywire” poster, even though it was a rare one and also even though that’s…
This comment about French culture could not be any more American if it was wearing a MAGA cap, smoking meth and complaining about minorities.
Oh, most of these examples were issues that were talked about when it came out. This perspective is NOT one that you can dismiss as modern “wokeness.” Even Mad Magazine’s parody (March 1979 issue) explicitly called them out and it was directed at possibly the most immature, dismissive of women’s and consent issues…
Also, it was just kind of dull. The documentary itself had no voice of its own and, while there’s something to be said for letting the theorists speak for themselves, it just results in a bland montage of voice overs.
At this point, the Snyder Cut can only improve upon the first film’s extremely rocky legacy.
One of the big mistakes Disney made when it was putting together its new Star Wars movies is that it went in without any real plan.
“The original trilogy didn’t have a plan” - As anyone who’s seen at least a handful of improv sketches knows, sometimes a haphazard/impromptu process works, and sometimes it doesn’t. Just because the OT was relatively unplanned and worked pretty well doesn’t mean that was a sensible approach for a sequel trilogy buildi…
I think this is my favorite thing out of the MCU so far. And I struggle not to think of this in terms of my own personal evolution in my attitudes and wants/desires towards comics. This feels like that natural progression where you start off with the “usual” - superheroes doing superhero things. Eventually it gets a…
I very honestly expected that the backlash against the most ridiculous ideas that Marvel had cooking would come with the first Guardians Of The Galaxy, which supposed that the moviegoing public wouldn’t find much to identify with regarding a talking raccoon, a sentient tree that only spoke its own name, and a doofy…
I don’t mind if this is all on rails.
