And thinking that Marvel movies are somehow a crutch on exploration of themes or ideas, is why someone like you or Scoresese could never imagine a film like Black Panther or Into the Spider-verse to be made.
See I like how you have to dig for that interpretation for one of Scoresese’ lowest ranked films, meanwhile the…

Yea but there’s also a ton of newer studios and services that are looking to cater to the audiences that Disney no longer is interested in. A24 and Blumhouse would be two examples.

When Scoresese has a preference for only certain, particular types of cinema, and dismissing the rest, that counts as ignorance at any age or experience with historical cinema.
The Wolf of Wallstreet was basically a porn movie, and it just seems odd for him of all people to complain about the loudness and empty…

It’s not so much “lacking historical knowledge” as “lacking a perspective of what might be blowing the mind of a child today and making them want to be a filmmaker.”

Yes, it’s entirely possible that Captain America: Civil War will open up some ten-year-old to the possibilities of the medium. It is literally possible for any movie to do this...with the right ten-year-old. It’s a good reason not to forbid a ten-year-old from watching a superhero movie. It’s not really a reason…

That’s almost exactly what they’re doing though. There is no in-game story, just past lore that you get from cinematics and comics and such. So they’re adding it with the PvE mode. But otherwise, they’re just updating the original game, to the extent that if you don’t want the PvE stuff, you can just play the first…

This is the kind of talk that gets your “good movie” relegated to low performance and a sequel-less future. There’s no excuse, other than lazy film-making, for omitting all of the things you deem unnecessary. A movie can have all of those things. Look at franchises like Ip Man, it arguably has decent plot,…

I agree, but also the whole conceit of needing a character to serve as the audience stand-in is complete bullshit.

MK has been around for 29 years, it’s arguably bigger now than it’s ever been and is easily the most popular fighting game series in history. MK isn’t that complicated (convoluted, sure, but not…

There is a world of difference between comparing *public figures getting pushback on their stated views* to putting people in concentration camps, and comparing *putting people in concentration camps* to putting people in concentration camps.

Hmmm. After the many, many disappointing instances where actors and directors I love turn out to be pieces of shit (Hi Joss! Hi Johnny!), it’s almost refreshing to have a talentless piece of shit turn out to be a piece of shit. 2021 is indeed a low place.

It’s not shitting on you or people like you to admit that there’s a huge potential for abuse in treating children like property without rights, and to consider whether there are better options - like a formal commitment process - that would allow residential treatment programs to help very troubled children.

I appreciate the fact that this experience helped you. However, when people say something “saved their life” I’m always a bit dubious.
There’s no way of knowing what would have happened to you had you not gone to this school. You may have had some other profound experience that changed your life for the better. You…

This is just awful, I can’t imagine what living like that sort of fear is like.

I just want to say right off the bat that I believe her 100%, other public figures had similar traumatic experiences at the same place.

Sounds terrible. You should send some death threats to any developer who dares go on that platform then. Works best if they are female.

Not a PC gamer but I love how angry they get about having a second icon on their desktop. Makes the console wars seem like a kindergarten fight.

You pack up your shit and get the fuck out of here right now.

Monica is clearly moved when Jimmy mentions Captain Marvel.

One more reason not to give EA money.

Why do you feel that way? the Bernie Bro has been shown to be largely a myth. There were not many voters that withheld their votes or flipped their votes because Bernie lost the primary in 2016, and by 2020 partisanship was so amped up that I would bet that when all the analysis is done, that there were even fewer in…
