"People went to see Deadpool because it was GOOD…"

This is possibly the most painstakingly accurate inventory of the film's failures I've seen yet. Disappointed Ignatiy didn't give it a similar whipping in his review, especially considering the typical quality of his pans.

Your first paragraph is absolutely spot-on. Jynn is paper-thin as a character. She's tough in the way someone who overheard the term "strong female character" and never thought about it again would write; as if they assumed all that meant was "girl who never smiles and is good at punching." Her "journey" from…

I think he was criticizing the coverage it got, not you.

Ha, I had a similar issue with a friend. We saw it in theaters, him for the second time, because he's a massive Star Wars nerd, and as soon as the credits rolled I knew the conversation wasn't going to be pleasant. He asked me what I thought, and I asked him if he was sure he wanted to know, and when he said yes I…

Brexit.

And arrest…Melania!

Unfortunately, this isn't just an American phenomenon. The far-right's power extends across Europe, as well.

A bunch of Democrats are bringing Dreamers and people affected negatively by the refugee ban, so at least they're starting to learn to use Trump's playbook against him.

Continuing the theme, I prefer Dances With Wolves to Goodfellas. I know Goodfellas has the bigger place in film history, but Dances With Wolves is such a beautiful, moving film. It's one of the all time great movie epics.

I hated Rogue One to the point that I have difficulty wrapping my head around the fact that many people seem to prefer it to Force Awakens. The former is one of the flattest, most joyless, personality-free blockbusters I've ever seen. Force Awakens may be derivative and beholden to the past, but it's also funny and…

He'd also pay someone to write the jokes themselves, which I'm sure is the norm for most presidents, but I shudder to think what guidelines Trump would give to a comedian ahead of time.

He also knows Obama was widely praised for his own performances at the dinners, and that the intense and prolonged media scrutiny over Trump's every failed joke would eventually make his heart explode out his body. If not self-awareness, he at the very least has a strong sense of self-preservation.

More so by demonizing blacks and poor people on welfare, and then by extension Democrats for their support of said criminals and bottom feeders. I agree, I'd love to see that shoe on the other foot.

Acknowledging that the win would bring attention to the plight of Syrians is more of a humanitarian statement than a political one. I guess you could argue that a depiction of Syrians as human beings rather than faceless potential terrorists is inherently political when half the country thinks refugees are a threat…

There was another report that said "derogatory" in this case could refer to anything from a questionable social media post to a benign clerical error made by someone else with his paperwork.

In Obvious Child's case, that's not an inaccurate portrayal of much of modern standup. That sort of confessional, self-deprecating storytelling schtick, rather than the typical style of setup/punchline, has become fairly common.

I agree that that renders that subplot (and the sister character) kind of pointless, but overall Seb's characterization is still far more strongly developed than Mia's - do her parents even get lines? It's why the movie had very little emotional resonance for me; Mia didn't feel fully formed, and Seb had very little…

The real reason is that Chazelle isn't all that interested in Mia. That's why we get to hear multiple compositions by Seb, but only ever see Mia being ignored by casting directors while reciting other people's lines. It's the reason Seb is a fully-rounded character with flaws and desires and traits, and Mia is just…

I prefer the sequel. It's a more mature and rewarding film, IMO. It holds its own as a great adventure movie without the "for kids" qualifier. The original is charming but pretty lightweight.
