Alex Garland is the dumb guy’s smart guy

I keep repeating this, because I’m apparently on crazy pills, but thanks to the Electoral College, vengeful despot-wannabe Donald Trump is still only a few tens of thousands votes away in a handful of swing states from cheating his fat ass back into the White House.

300 was problematic because of how it treated the invading Persian army. Many of the soldiers of the Middle Eastern nation were literally not human and Xerces considered himself a god who was entitled to enslave the world. Standing up against them were an outnumbered bunch of white guys who had all trained since…

Generally agreed. Another angle, I think, is that his fans are so rabid that non-fans feel obligated to take a stronger stand against his fundamentally authoritarian worldview. While Bay stands for nothing except typical distracting capitalist excess, Snyder seems like he’d be perfectly okay with having a dictator in…

I have some bad news for you about the chances of Lowtax being involved in anything.

I can’t speak for others, but to me Bay comes off as someone who makes blockbuster films where things blow up and people tune out for a few hours and that’s it. He doesn’t aspire to any higher art, none of his fans expect anything more than machines punching each other (and maybe some regressive humor) and everyone…

I’m sure if you put it in context, maybe add the sentence before that, it’ll make sense: “How do you cater to fans of something that doesn’t have fans yet? The answer might be to do something that you’d never see in a Star Wars, but then that would draw more Star Wars comparisons.”

“The answer might be to do something that you’d never see in a Star Wars, but then that would draw more Star Wars comparisons.”

The tone of this piece being all over points to AI infused garbage.

Ah bud I’m sorry. I thought you were referring to stock issues.

“In Eilish’s own words, ‘literally who cares.’”

“Instead, the Taylor Swift story of the week is about her romantic life. Again.”

I will die on this hill!

I’d argue the response is more “You are mistaken. You do not know what FUN is. We here at Bethesda know what FUN is. So you are wrong and your complaint is invalid.”

There is a metric shit-ton of internet users that take anyone speaking matter-of-factly in a critical way as an attempt at objectivity, when that was never the intention of the speaker.

I believe it was Iger, there were reports that Kennedy pushed for two things: 1.) Solo be pushed back to November/December because modern audiences saw Star Wars projects as Holiday releases; 2.) That they postpone the third ST entry by at least a year to figure out the best way to handle Carrie Fisher’s passing. Iger…

I can’t imagine he would have convinced Harrison Ford to come back without promising to kill off Han any better than JJ or Kennedy could. Ford was done.

If the live-action SW shows he’s been involved with are any indication, then I don’t see myself paying much attention to Star Wars in the future.

Yeah, what cunt decided that?

One is the clinically accepted name for that body part and the other is slang.
