I thought it was torture porn, but I like Tarsem’s other work especially “The Fall”

Oy...well...hopefully she’s in love with herself enough that we don’t have to be

yikes, do you mean the one with Owen Wilson or the one with Josh Duhamel? I think both pretty much bombed but $20MM? Yikes. Atlas looks terrible (sci-fi where it looks like every shot is up the characters’ noses so you can see there’s no set). “Kiss of the Spider Woman” is a smart move: established director, property…

there is a website called “justwatch” that isn’t always 100% accurate, but is right in this case, it’s on Prime. but amazing how many full movies are just on YouTube or Vimeo...I will paste the link to John Hillcoat’s first feature “Ghosts...of the Civil Dead” with Nick Cave here, I couldn’t find it anywhere and it’s…

these were all pretty not good but I sat through them all. I wouldn’t call any of them secret successes, they’re not interesting failures, they’re just not very good movies. These days apparently everything is a secret success, we have ongoing campaigns to rehabilitate Phantom Menace and a bunch of Zack Snyder’s…

Yo where can I see this?  Twixt had a nice atmosphere but was barely a movie.  They should have leaned into the Stephen King thing more and then pushed further into horror instead of a ghost movie but I barely remember it so maybe I’m wrong.  I would sit through it again if it were worth it for some reason and not too…

dude he was kissing them on the cheek like you do at a party from what I’ve heard...Aubrey Plaza defended him so I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt until I hear more

if Taylor Swift called J Lo’s career a scam it would be a beef, if Meryl Streep did, it would be an insult, if a comedian does it...it’s a little different. It would have been more different if it was like “you know how I know J Lo’s singing career is a scam?” But still, every mean thing people have said in their…

did you know that in the original version of The Hobbit it was not related to the One Ring, he rewrote and retconned it later; same with Stephen King and the Dark Tower and the Gunslinger. The first Harry Potter book is a pretty bad kids book, each successive one is quite a bit better until the last one is pretty…

I think there is a My Year of Flops about this one? often things that are not on DVD are just on Vimeo in their full form (or just YouTube). I also don’t know if you are just making a very funny casual “apropos of nothing joke” lol (“but he is not ashamed of (checks notes) walk-on-knees-im-a-dwarf movie”)

I’ll take it. Again you lie and try to twist the words that are right above on the page: I said that those controlling images are insidious: “you know that there is a difference between, to take an extreme example, bigoted statements borne out of pure ignorance and borne out of animus. There isn’t a way for you not…

I never changed the subject, and never said unintentional racism is a paper cut, and never said what Cross did wasn’t that bad, I said it would have been worse if he meant it. You can only engage in this conversation by lying. The reason to talk to somebody instead of trying to destroy their life and career is because…

It does sound a little bit like the AV club is fine with this gun-to-the-head type “you should be lucky to be making us money at all” attitude.  That said, the era of peak TV started to arrive with Six Feet Under.  At the start of the show, the family were all part of the same storylines mostly.  By the end, Rico had…

I think we are as much talking about this still because she killed it so hard and these are her further comments on her triumph...like it’s possible this just made her a huge star (and she happens to have a special out recently)

don’t use a hotdog or a banana this time?

listen dummy, I didn’t say I agree with you, I said I understand better where you’re wrong. You think that racism is unlike any other hateful bigotry in the world because you’re a smug superior assclown.

I think that this conversation has gone on long enough that we have both pretty clearly outlined where we disagree and to continue on further wouldn’t be productive, we are both fixed in our respective mindsets and approaches.

Yeah the campaign to say that every terrible movie or series is secretly great is really going to murder culture

just like the new trilogy after “Rise of”...my favorite part was when they were over.

Actually, I looked at both people and I give a shit about both people. As somebody who has been subjected to quite a bit of bigotry, if not racism, yes the intent matters, the source matters, the context matters, it all matters. And I’m certain that, just like you know Yi’s intent in posting that Twitter thread was…
