Ulysses Klaue appears randomly, crouches, and croons “What has it got in its pocketses!!!”

“Vengeance has consumed you. It’s consuming them. I am done letting it consume me.”

God dammit.

Of course the black dude is the one with soul.

Okay, I’m gonna call something out I had read a few years ago. There was a discussion with Joss Whedon about a scene that he wanted to use in the second Avengers movie.

They kept showing this guy in the center and I was like “Who the heck is he?” Took way too long to realize it’s Steve Rogers. Barely recognizable without his get-up!

So. Marvel again proves it’s superior to DC in cinematic universe building. The decades long slow burn is going to turn into an inferno ... but Thor is still a smaller fire.

I don’t care how tired people say they are of Superhero films everyone knows they’re going to see this one.

Sticking with my common refrain: If 2017 me had stopped 2008 me on the way out of Iron Man to tell me this is what the next decade had in store; I would have slapped myself and called me a liar. It’s just so damn amazing to be living in the Golden Age of Superhero Entertainment after spending the first 30 years of my

That’s an absurd opinion. Many actors who have spoken about things, who have been vocal and critical towards others, have had nothing to do with these scandals. You can’t blame an entire industry of working people because of a dozen or so people. You can’t do that with DC. You cant do that with SV. Or WS. Nor should

I’ve heard this over and over again, but it finally started sinking in over the past few months: there is nothing inherently wrong with men, but there is something wrong with a society that glorifies men acting like monsters.

In fairness, I did say that poorly. Weinstein’s not the damn buster he’s the filth that spilled out. It’s the women who came forward who deserve the credit.

To #2, I don’t know that this is an easy sacrifice to a lot of people. John Lennon beat his wife, Michael Jackson was probably a pedophile, nearly every ‘90s rapper I love is misogynistic as shit.

one of the things I see a lot of in response to these pieces is “well why didn’t you say anything???”

No, thank you to his victims who came forward.

That’s not South Park’s ethos, though, and never has been.

I remain doggedly cynical for three reasons:

1. There’s absolutely no reason to expect that Hollywood as a whole would change their power structure, which extraordinarily rewards a select elite over everyone else. That is the fundamental reason that these sociopaths have the power to treat everyone else like garbage,

It’s amazing that all this seems to have flowed out of Weinstein’s accusers coming forward. He was so powerful in Hollywood, way more powerful than the actors in his films, that once his victims started coming forward en masse about his criminal behavior than coming forward about anyone else become less terrifying. I

I’m so curious about how the cast aligned their accents, especially Lupita, Danai, Isasch, etc. who come with their own accent palette from their respective African countries. I imagine a lot of care went into it since so many other aspects of the movie are meticulously constructed.
