Both, my friend. Both.

It’s also a movie with some very neat ideas that people can talk about while ignoring the poor manner in which those ideas were dramatized.

Because it has great ideas but poor execution. 

You’re really reaching with a lot of those comparisons. By your logic, no one should have ever made another “rag tag group of misfits assembles to fight bad guys” movie after Seven Samurai.

Counterpoint: Rogue One is a tremendous disappointment, a great idea squandered by corporate mandates and a chaotic production.

So a “god-tier tweet” is a blandly relatable statement that’s vague enough to make every reader fill in the blanks with their own answers?

I disliked Barsanti already, so “latter-day Office ain’t so bad” is just icing on his shit-writing, shit-opinion cake. 

There’s “incompetent bad” and “just plain dumb.” Howard the Duck (and, as you mention, Wild Wild West) is among the latter, which can make them even worse.

Sadly, yes. Millions of people (mostly white men, but plenty of non-white men probably, too) cannot wait for each new episode of Joe Rogan. And Cosby is exactly the kind of guest Rogan would love to have on: controversial, high-profile, and a comedy legend. I’d be shocked, SHOCKED, if Rogan’s people weren’t clamoring…

Well there's one very good reason she's not Captain America... 

Hack filmmaker gets his Star Wars spec script rejected, goes on to make half-assed rippoff of Star Wars (and its sources.) Fanboys lose their shit because they’re idiots.

Jaws is the obvious (and correct!) answer, and Men In Black is a terrific counter-point to every dipshit who thinks Independence Day is any good.

This sort of shit has been a growing tidal wave along the G/O sites for a few years (Kotaku and io9 leading the way, and av club working hard to make up for lost time.)

I assume the rest of the three hours was spent with Tarantino and Rogan laughing about the scene where it's implied that Pitt's character murdered his wife but it's ok because she was such a nag. 

Look, we all speculate to ourselves when watching/reading serialized stories, but who goves a shit if someone else's predictions turned out or not? It's a story, not a quiz show. 

Ha, yeah there’s definitely a “big superhero action finale,” but I think we’re more forgiving of this one because the directors stage it as eye candy while they focus on the Cap/Bucky conflict. No one was really worried about the guidance chips (or whatever,) we just knew that the rest of the characters needed…

Winter Soldier is the absolute crown jewel of the MCU. Breihan's right in that its reputation as a spy thriller is a little overblown. It's very much an action flick with some spy elements, but WHAT an action flick it is! 

I agree completely. The filmmakers deserve credit for trying something thematically different from the first movie, but ambition does not equal quality. 

I hope to own a Yellow Dog one day. 

Haha, yes! Or the "wanted" poster where we first see him with the glove on his head, and the text underneath is "have you seen this chicken?"
