I genuinely don’t get what’s so difficult to understand about this. I guess the devolution of unionization in this country has severely decreased class literacy, but I’ve never lived anywhere near a pro-union state and I still managed to pick up the basics. These people are in some of the most high profile unions in…

The point of strikes isn’t to carve out one little bit of the labor force until an agreement is met. The point of a strike is to grind the gears of the industry to force management back to the table. Because their labor is valuable. If that means fans don’t get access to a performer, speaking as a fan that’s a…

I think the problem here is that the strike is in part about renegotiating the lower residual/royalty rates from streaming, so even promoting older work would be a problem if it’s streaming somewhere. And Levi’s big projects are all the kind sof things found on streaming sites.

The problem with being a dickhead is that everything you say is viewed through that lens.

I’m not entirely sure about what the strike rules are for talking about previous acting work, but whenever a rich middle-aged white dude starts a ‘I’m so funny’ bit about things he’s apparently not allowed to talk about, I defensively start jabbing needles into my eardrums.

“mano-a-mano between a Meg and a giant cephalopod”

Neither of which actually has hands, but sure.

The Red army didn’t have a navy or any way to land on the home islands. Stone is not right at all, and every actual historian, on either side of the bomb debate, knows this. Why Russia declaring war on Japan was influential to the Japanese high command was because they saw Russia, and were in contact with Russia, as…

“Not even Arnold Schwarzenegger at his ’80s apex...would have attempted a line that cheesy”

I had no idea that Ben Wheatley directed this.

He’s got a quietly impressive filmography and certainly seems the type to steer into the “We know this is crap, but we’re going to make it as fun as possible” vibe it’s giving off.

He’s a tedious burnout contrarian who was flattered into being a stooge.

There are a lot of pro-Putin leftists on social media who blame NATO and the US for the whole wore and absolve Russia of any blame. It’s really ridiculous.

The first time I read/watched 300 I thought it was a pretty clever use of unreliable narrator (as it’s a Spartan telling the story and obviously glamourising them/demonising the Persians), but the way Miller went off the deep end a few years later casts an uncomfortable light on it for sure.

This is a man where the commentary track is him saying "cool" every minute.  Seriously listen to his commentary its just I think this shot is cool or this was fun for 90 minutes.  I've seen Kardashians less vapid.

From what I’ve seen of Snyder’s filmography, “shame” does not play a big role in his creative process. Nor does “restraint”, “logic” or “recognisable human emotion”.

“He’s a visually interesting filmmaker whose storytelling style is stilted and divisive, but who treats his cast and crew with extreme respect and is well-liked by people in the industry.”

I’d argue that none of his personality should shield Snyder or his art from criticism. Supposedly John Travolta is a really nice…

Snyder genuinely believes that he is satarizing misogyny in Sucker Punch. That may be his intention, but the movie is so bad and his story is so badly told that his intent doesn’t matter, the movie itself ends up not at all a satire.

I liked the Snyder cut of Justice League. It felt like the final culmination of everything he’d been trying to do with the DCU, for better or worse, and I appreciated how idiosyncratic and earnest it felt.

I think the dancers felt that they would be a step behind if they didn’t go to the strip club. Simply inviting your employees to a strip club outing is absolutely not cool, if my boss did that I’d be hunting for a new job quickly.  It’s especially bad when you’re overseas working for a very famous person in a highly…

‘On her IG Story, she posted quotes encouraging people to love their enemies and that “A woman who has God in her heart fights her battles differently.” All of this seems to corroborate the allegations in the suit.’

This definitely wasn’t on my bingo card.
