I remember winning tickets to see Jon Stewart do stand up around 2006-8. His material was painfully stale, jokes that had been floating around the internet messages boards and the early social media sites for months if not years were his normal part and parcel in the show. It made me aware how much of the quality of Th…

Yes, you were soundly defeated by reality and then doubled down because that’s what white nerdy guys do when reality knocks them on their ass for being wrong.  Cool story, bro.

Can you quietly go fuck off?  I’m genuinely at the point where outside of the hardcore SW fandom the Ep1 everybody else felt it was fine...but whatever, you do you.  I’m just exhausted with you basically DENYING FUCKING REALITY.  

That’s generally how this stuff happens if it isn’t a pet project from a comedy troupe that made it...

Just to be clear, you know we can all look up resources and it turns out the most basic reviews show the same fucking thing I said and that you’re wrong.  If you want to talk about nascent internet reviews and hot takes from the asshole fringe of SW’s fandom, be my guest.  The professional 1999 critics largely gave it…

Thanks, I accept your concession. ^_^

To be fair, there are a TON of classic Batman tales of him taking on shitty capitalists...They’re like half his one-off runs.  But when your owner is a shitty capitalist, kind of hard to do that on the big screen...

It was considered a niche movie, the fact that it didn’t implode was justification to give him a shot at Superman which did exceptionally well.

To quote your name: “Nope” as in “Fine but childish” is far more accurate than ‘absolute garbage.’

I’m 100% in support of VOs unless the comedians are also writers on the show or you want a very specific VO talent that you can’t get from your normal crowd. There is just no reason to bring in these expensive voices for what amounts to ‘oh hey, I know that voice!’

I fully suspect it was a spur of the moment thing, them whining about not wanting to do it, so they deliver their lines and then mismatch.  

Phase-5 is either Alternate Universe (soft reboot) or using the PoC/21st century alts that operate as a continuation of them.  I’m guessing soft reboot with much younger actors because in 2032-35 Iron man will be 24 years old and ripe for a 2nd wave of films using a much younger actor and RDJ will be in his…

Exactly and mugging isn’t all that common in the 21st century according to our own stats.  The proliferation of cameras on exteriors really cut down on it.

The general consensus at the time was Ep 1 was fine, childish but fine, really meant for the 8-12 year olds they were aiming at (I was 15 when it came out but also a girl..so sort of not their target demo?).  It was episode 2 and 3 that were slandered because they were never going to be a happy ending and really kind…

Exactly.  He’s fighting the concept of evil which is why the hot takes of ‘Batman beats up poor people who only do crime because of poverty’ is such an internet hot take that it hurts.  In the comics he actually almost never fights street crime in any practical manner, it’s sort of background noise for the main story…

So, it’s essentially a 720p projector (technically 800...but who’s counting?) and genuine 1080p starts at around $300 and 4K at around $1500.  I’m also not sure you want to sit in near complete darkness to get the best effect...

Oof.  Yeah, I had to replay the scene a few times and for sure the ‘Not bad for a cop’ scene is 100% green screen which seems dumb.  The giveaway is the front edge of his black shirt against the leaves digitally ripples, I had to check if it wasn’t artifacts left over from the lower grade 720p resolution but when…

I think the rock is currently the next Schwarzenegger.  The problem is that we still have the current one and while he’s aged with grace and dignity he was also a governor of California that ended in mediocre results.  Johnson has clear aspirations and it’s worrisome because he’s not really smart enough just as Arnold…

I love Tarantino, it ending on a weird bittersweet note kind of kills any rewatch value. I have not watched the extended cut because while his dialogue is choice and can be witty if there isn’t more story there it’s already too long and we both know there isn’t anymore story in that longer cut, just more chats about…

Cheap old IPs aren’t going to exploit themselves!

It’s also just going to suck in the regular way.  It’s not old enough that the source material watchers don’t really care ala Riverdale and it’s not doing anything to further the concept like Sabrina, so we’re going to get a show that basically is for people who have…
