One last point to make before I hit the trail. Would you be fine with it if it was your daughter they called a c word to prove a point that the word gets used to much?…. didn't think so.

Yeah that would be misogynist. But calling a child a c-word on a public forum is what exactly? Irony? A satire of people who abuse children? Where's Todd's 3000 word diatribe decrying the tweet? I think this is a much more pernicious example of misogyny than not liking an HBO program's quality of nudity. Will the…
So let me see if I understand The Onion and it's sister site the AVclub correctly. Someone says he finds Lena Dunham unattractive = misogynist. Someone tweets that a 9 year old girl is a c word = comedy?
Except they're the ones who gave some drunk intern access to their twitter account. So yes, partially they are responsible.
I love me some David Lynch and Inland Empire. So if Inland Empire has a very clear, concise message, tell me, what is it? I consider it more of a sensorial experience that takes the viewer inside the mind of a woman with a shattered psyche. But by all means, explain yourself. I'm genuinely curious to here what this…
Calm down now fanboys. DKR is a poor film. I didn't like it. Deal with it. The world will continue to turn.
I'm just saying I'm fine with Lee's criticism. It's his right to criticize. I, for one, love Django.
@avclub-7e55e707d3f4a874a2d9cd9719c47e5e:disqus , Nah the Moneypenny was way more sensical than the robin tomfoolery at the end of rises. Moneypenny is the character's name not her alias. I'm no crimefighting expert but I can't see my secret identity working too well if I used my fucking real name.
I agree. Did the same thing this last week. I found the book riveting and wondered if QT ever read it and studied it when making his earlier crime films then I realized the gun runner is named Jackie Brown.
Wow ! I literally just watched this last night after reading the book last week. Get out of my head avclub!!!
Haha, it's a good one alright. I always try to imagine what the response could have been that explains that character change so well Woods is completely mollified by it.
Chastain's performance in a nutshell: Gaze of steely determination at a computer screen, shuffle papers, pouts, cries, rinse, repeat.
Wadda dick!
I concur. Though may rap taste might be suspect as I haven't listened to much of it since 2003 (pop music in general actually) but I'll be damned if that doesn't get regular play on my ipod on my walk to work each morning. Love the dialogue snippet at the beginning to "I'm going to go walking in the moonlight with…
Well, Zero Dark also completely side steps the question of whether America should have committed extra-judicial execution and torture in the first place. It takes it as a given that these were necessary and doesn't even begin to make an inquiry over whether Osama should have been brought to trial or not. So just…
As much as I love Django, I find it perfectly acceptable for an African American to take umbrage with a white person's depiction of slavery and use of the N-word. Even if the majority of white critics tells him he should be alright with it because this time the white filmmaker is using it "in context".
Oops, should have read further down before commenting. What buzzmiller said.
I thought the film handled Lincoln with kiddy gloves frankly. I really wonder if being an American would make the movie more revelatory or deep. Outside of the states, nobody really views Lincoln as some awe-inspiring demigod who had no faults. Of course he had faults, he was a human being like everyone else. Of…
Reaching? The events depicted in Zero Dark Thirty happened less than a year ago.
Well the killer robot deathstrikes delivered with impunity to anyone deemed an "enemy" of America without the need for justification makes anyone outside of the US antsy to say the least. Sure right now it's relegated to Afghanistan and the middle east but now that the precedent has been set who's to say that the US…
