And nobody is mad about Batou because nobody can name a Japanese actor who does action movies.

This is the Justice League's origin story.

Then people would get mad a Korean has been cast as a Japanese.

The only people who seem to care about this are people who would never see watch the film in the first place.

Nobody in that movie gave a shit about anything besides for Jessica Chastain. Matt Damon seemed to be absolutely fine making memes and not being funny on Mars and definitely didn't seem like he wanted rescuing.

How is Olga Dihovichnaya? I assume she's barely in it because she isn't in any of the promotion but she's great in Twilight Portrait and I hope this is going to be her breakout role.

I can't think of the last horror film I saw that didn't have that kind of an ending.

How was I supposed to care about Doctor Strange when I hadn't seen him in a movie before?

Nerds are tribal so they have to pick a side and Snyder is currently making his films for the wrong team and in a style that doesn't flatter the egos of dedicated fans.

It never is.

The black guy who has the magic Gamecube is my favourite.

I wish. The trailer already showed that they're going to ruin it by going Full Whedon with the dialogue.

Ghost in the Shell: Arise. It's the last GitS thing I need to see, assuming I can skip The Laughing Man and The Individual Eleven OVAs, before the movie comes out and if it weren't so pointless, it would be my favourite thing in the franchise. The animation is crisp and there's an emphasis on the action instead of dry

I played Mass Effect 1 and 2 but didn't play 3 and I've watched quite a lot of footage of Andromeda and I really don't remember the writing being so clearly ripped from Joss Whedon. Having the protagonist only be able to communicate in joking banter with a weird, kind of ironic, kind of supposed to be funny running

When/how? I don't get what you mean.

Remember when Obama said the same thing? I might have fallen for it then but I don't fall for it now.

Personally, I like the idea that Putin is into MMA and weightlifting because so am I but there are plenty of Americans who are into hunting and fishing and outdoors stuff - there's probably a better name for it - that probably think that's cool too.

I definitely must have completely missed American institutions no longer being interested in war. Trump's tweets really are a distraction.
