This looks like someone gave a YouTube sketch troupe a few million dollars to mash up Cowboy Bebop and Adam West’s Batman.

Okay, but what number is the cut-off for the movies being any good?

It seems like this is a sequel to something I watched once upon a time, but I can’t put my finger on it. All I know is that it makes me uncomfortable to dwell on it for some reason, so I’ll probably just avoid this.

For something so concerned with rhyming history, the time scale has always bothered me. Like, I assume the First Men showing up and fighting back the Children is supposed to correspond to the Celt arrival in Britain, but that happened around 1,000 BC, like 2300 years-ish before the historical events that the series…

Venom will become the Poochie of the MCU.

More money means more people went to watch it, but more people watching it doesn’t have to equal “better” unless your sole criteria for a work of art being good is popularity. The Marvel-critical argument is that we need space for movies that would have a decently-sized audience that was still a much smaller portion…

I mean, that’s all fine, but it kind of sounds like you’re just not that into new Dr. Who. Davies is terrible, Moffat had a lot of flaws, even Chibnall would be better than.

Whether you liked his work or not, I think most Whovians would agree this was an opportunity to breathe new life into the series

Right??

There’s no such thing as “cancel culture” and public shaming is just fine if a public figure actually did something shameful. That’s just not what this is.

God, so much this. Every few weeks I come back just out of some decades old habit, leave a couple comments (now all in the grey when I used to have star and then featured status), and keep checking in for a few days...before I remember why I left. It’s all just such transparent SEO bullshit and clickbait. Really…

Not enough opportunities in this world to say “ensorcell.”

Call me a second for watching the shit out of that.

LMAO I bet you’re going to be grumpy when the trailer drops.

I should note that my comment seems to be displaying in a weird way I definitely didn’t write it, and I’ve tried editing it and it doesn’t change, but I guess you probably relate given your username. 

Yeah, that’s what it is, and because it’s inspired by the Bechdel test it’s constructed to address some of the long-noted deficiencies with it (which Alison Bechdel herself has pointed out). So actually what you’re describing would be a good fit.

Making sure I follow the thesis: a rare 90s film that actually engaged America’s racist history has received a sequel directed by a black woman and written by her with another black man, which has divested itself of the original film’s dated racial perspectives and residual white-centered perspective, has engaged the…

LMAO “damn they made her so sexually unattractive” was definitely not the thought that came into my mind upon seeing these images.

Super cool how Filoni and Favreau seem to be just mulliganing the sequel trilogy shit show by setting up a narrative future of the universe that draws inspiration from some amalgamation of The Thrawn Trilogy and Dark Empire, which is what the movies should have done in the first place. FFS.

back inland through Lake Tahoe and Nevada to Tonopah and back to Indy via I-15 to I-70
