But in the film, Vanessa is played by white-passing Mexican actor Melissa Barrera.

I was a little surprised there weren’t more darker-skinned actors, I was also suprised there were basically no asian people. It is possible that John Chu ran into the vicious circle issue with finding darker-skinned actors: a significant percentage haven’t been given enough chances to develop because nobody is casting…

I had to look up who Bryce is

“Musical haters just keep losing this year, and musical lovers have another film to get excited about.”

ok I thought I was crazy, but a lot of the commenters in the past 6 months are all basically Woody Allen defenders and that’s all I have to say about that type of person.

I’d say the best description is that he’s Gwenyth Paltrow/Goop for men.

I’m both shocked and disappointed by the apparently large overlap between AV Club Commentariat and Joe Rogan defenders.

—The A.V. Club

Would you please stop being so damned reasonable?

“Indiana Jones isn’t an unimpeachable action hero who always does the right thing and always has a perfect plan in his back pocket (like a James Bond or an Ethan Hunt)”

Well, AVClub started in the 90s as a non-joke subsection of the Onion, which was an independent site, like IO9 and Deadspin. AVClub used to have a much larger, more consistent staff and much larger range of content (people like Keith Phipps, Scott Tobias, Tasha Robinson, Genevieve Koski, Nathan Rabin, Amelie Gillette,…

I genuinely used to love The AV Club (heck, I was an AV Monitor in elementary school!) because it played at the top of its intelligence and made the readers, who became a family of commenters, really think. Yes, we could be snarky in the comments, but the articles and writers took their journalism seriously and…

The ending was a fight between two cars in a parking garage.

It’s my least favourite Wright thing BY FAR but somehow it’s his best reviewed.  I don’t get it.  There’s a few cool scenes but I felt nothing for any character.  Well except confusion in some cases.

I still call BS on the whole “can’t make it through the first 10 minutes” claim, because the first 10 minutes include literally the loudest, most intense naval cannon battle I think I’ve ever seen on film. It’s tenser than PotC and just has fewer gags.

It's like Roy Hobbs in the Hunt for Red October

I really didn’t like Baby Driver, even in 2017 before anything was really out there about the cast. The music is good, yes, and the driving scenes are well done, but Wright was clearly trying to make a Tarantino and just fell short on all accounts. In a Tarantino flick, the bad guys would have been evil but at least…

Nothing that we know of (unless we ascribe Don Draper’s actions to him) but rule of three - it’s either him or Foxx next.

Boy, the writing on this show is so fucking bad.

i feel like the ending could’ve been a lot different. they had the numbers advantage. i was screaming at june to just kick nick in the shin’s and also screaming to end lydia.
