Yes, you are dogpiling correctly. That is how it’s done.

If you’re dispensing with origin stories (as commentors on this blog frequently and specifically wish would happen with characters like Batman, Superman, and Spider-man), the lack of a backstory isn’t really an issue here. Dramatically speaking, if you’ve done your job, the story tells you any necessary backstory…

My happy place is a RT score of 80+ with decent box office returns from the general public AND IO9/The Mary Sue hate it. Not because I want schadenfreude, but rather I would like to see both sites forced to just double down that “hating” WB/DC is the thing they do and the fanbase they have, so if someone wants to…

I’d prefer to actually see the cut of the actual movie he’s made before making that determination. Crazy, I know.

You do realize this is the same group of sites that has gone on record about the travesty that is celebrities OTHER than Terry Bollea’s having their private images published without their permission online, right?

I never trust fan reactions. But basically there are unrelated people in the Biz who’ve seen it and thought it was good like Brad Meltzer.

Eh, maybe go back and stop the holding and defensive picking that’s going on and you’ll see the scoring go back up.

I’d also consider the economics of Amsterdam. Amsterdam doesn’t just serve its local population; it serves tourists in large number. So it might not be as instructive as we think if the entire US allowed prostitution as the domestic sex worker market is probably too small in Amsterdam for the volume they see. It…

I think you’re trying to understand something that is a bit of a political issue more than a Cesar Milan issue. That guy has had people disagreeing or attacking his techniques for a decade.

I’ve never felt this free since the first episode of the first season when I immediately bought the book.

It’s funny, but we’ve been this many seasons into GoT and much like people complain that Hollywood is going to misunderstand why Deadpool was successful, GoT seems like this multi-year experiment that people still “don’t get.”

I don’t think it’s “better”, but it is noteworthy that the scene they took out in this trailer is the one that a lot of people criticized for either being not that funny or giving away too much.

It may be that Maul represents the “cool” thing for a lot of kids that grew up with the prequels and like Ahsoka represents a good arc from the animated universe.

I think the issue the article highlights is what if you were the single target of the most dominant critic (I guess?) working in the industry now.

Well race and Bill Cosby is a weird linkage anyway if you consider the fact that the entire reason this became a story was because of Buress’s comedy routine which is entirely about punctuating Cosby’s public moralizing about black culture. He really had the opposite of community support.

Take it from someone who actually doesn’t care: it’s censorship.

Do “people” though or does the Democratic base? That’s been the argument for a while now. It’s not much of a shift to get a Democratic voter to believe what they already believe more. The question is when you get to a general, do you take a beating for those positions. And that has yet to be proven one way or another…

Because the idea of not being able to get a job without subscribing to the specific beliefs of your local majority could be in no way a bad thing? I’m sure we shouldn’t worry if Republicans won’t hire people that have Democratic connections.

I think you see that in every fight from Gun Rights to Abortion. I think because you can never count on a safe space, it’s really just a personal choice. Either you commit to having the adult conversation most of the time and realize you’re going to be ignoring people agreeing/disagreeing with you incorrectly. Or you…

Always possible.
