Lemme fix that for you:

James Wan has proven to be a very smart director when it comes to business; he knows how to make films for the target audience while keeping an eye on the mainstream market to keep things “safe”.

Considering it’s practically finished; so unless WB plan to spend 95% of the films production budget but not actually release it. I guess?

It is slow but at the same time the way the camera milked every scene’s beautiful cinematography really built an atmosphere and suspense to the film which I almost never get anymore from films due to us being accustomed to “efficient” pacing in modern cinema where we never really get to sit back and just ponder and…

The current incarnation of DCEU in the sense that WB continually tries to mash heroes together for films like they’re lego blocks will almost definitely be dead at least for the near future.

Out of curiousity; do you read comics these days much?

TBF if there was ever any film which could even remotely use this defense; Mother! would be it. The film was intentionally made to be the opposite of a common understanding of “enjoyable”.

I wholeheartedly agree with you overall but one of my character flaws is a tendency to play devil’s advocate unfortunately.

I rarely ever see anything at the theatres twice(or at all) but Bladerunner 2049 was one of them. The length of the film only made me feel better about the decision because I was getting a better $/time value lol.

Except sheep bred for wool do need to be sheared because their modern commercialised forms are the results of hundreds, if not thousands of generations of selective breeding by humans.

It pains me to see you put so much thought and effort into being sincere and eloquent about this issue; knowing that most of the responses will just be “they all suck, remove them all”. Because nuance and considerations of the long-term political and social effects is apparently “making excuses for predators” around…

I don’t think it’s hard to reconcile with the fact that many these people are sincere on both counts. They genuinely believe homosexual acts are immoral yet succumb to their very real urges for it; some more often than others. For these people their continued efforts to legislatively curtail the LGBTQI community…

I wouldn’t call her soulless; she selfishly sold out her conscience by espousing hatred and harmful “news” on a network for over a decade for the price of tens of millions of dollars per year.

I always knew Xi Jinping was a savvy and ruthless statesman for the greater good of his people. Nothing exemplifies this more than the cruel yet necessary act of cutting two whatever starlets down to ensure everyone can admire Harry Styles’ brilliance for a few more minutes.

Oh, I’m not diminishing the realities of the “less affluent” in first-world countries. It was more of a tongue-in-cheek jibe at the irony of modern capitalism which creates classes in society where we are comparably fortunate to those in most other countries but are also technically destitute and without options due…

Oh definitely agreed. It’s pretty much the same here in Australia where everything is priced way over the affordability of even the upper brackets of median income. Unless of course we want to move to the sparse regional towns but for most people that grew up in the cities it’s just not a very realistic long-term…

Don’t ever come to Australia....

Ugh, Jezebel. Stop trying to make me fall in love with this woman because I’m pretty sure I don’t need any help with that.

Apparently Western Sydney was by far the bastion of “no” votes in both %age and pure quantity. Like, more than all the Nationals voting rural electorates supposedly filled with bogans.

You have no idea but labor costs in Australia is comparatively stratospheric to other countries like the US. Especially on unskilled labor which is what a lot of this mail survey would’ve used.
