Jesus Christ you are toxic, and you probably don’t even care about assault, trolling and flaming is your end goal.

I never saw the Robocop remake and don’t plan to, but a massive part of the original’s success was how gleefully profane and vulgar it was.  Completely matched the setting and social circumstances.  Not surprised a remake that tried to dilute all of that wouldn’t pan out.

Five bucks says this gets an ‘unrated cut’ on the Blu-ray, with a bunch of CG blood and a couple of alternate dialogue takes with f-bombs.

Deadpool was a hard R. And really Borderlands would have fit much better in that mold.

Blade will probably actually come out and some point

Some motherfuckin movie studios are always trying to ice skate uphill

used to read that in the boston phoenix back in the day, iirc (memory a bit fuzzy - could’ve been the Onion.. or maybe both)

Meet the new AV Club, same as the old AV Club. (But not the same as Classic AV Club.  That’s gone and will likely never come back.)

I love how Bowen Yang and Shane Gillis appear to be friends, but some of his fans and this writer are so heartbroken by that that they need to concoct this narrative that secretly he HATES Shane but is just pretending to be okay with him for reasons.

Just his magnificent supernatural powers and his laser sword versus a foot-tall muppet. And his apprentice who also has magnificent supernatural powers and a laser sword.

It’s not just Disney, the “Jedi bad, actually” concept has pretty much been the defining viewpoint on the Jedi Order for most of the franchise’s lifespan at this point. A little introspection is welcome in any long-running series, but this has been like the one idea for what to do with the Jedi since it was first…

My problem isn’t so much overexposure to the Jedi, but overexposure to this specific vision of the Jedi.

I swear to Christ though, if Stellan Skarsgård turns out to be a Jedi in Season 2...

The whole “training Jedi from birth” is seriously one of Lucas’ single worst ideas. 

The Jedi have proven better in small doses. 

Ever since the Halo series started, I’ve been hoping Star Wars would also get an entry that has the guts to say “You know, it’s kind of fucked up that the supposed heroes of this franchise regularly kidnap children to raise as soldiers.” This review and some others give me hope that this might be getting there.

And Andor!

Bad Batch is a good remedy to that feeling, hardly any Force stuff going on at all in that series.

my current Star Wars hot take (esp after watching the prequels) is there’s too much exposure to the Jedi. They’re overpowered, and too self-serious. It’s like reading Lord of the Rings, finding Gandalf to be awesome (correctly), and then making all subsequent Middle Earth media about groups, councils, cities of…
