They have no quality control. Filmmakers are given a truckload of cash with little oversight. There’s no Robert Evans, there’s no established studio that’s been doing this for years looking over their shoulder.

Fully agreed—streaming movies are straight-to DVD movies. The quality control isn’t there, the buzz and the spectacle aren’t there, the streaming services are a sea of shit with virtually no islands of art to be found. You could delete 95% of content made for streaming and no one would blink an eye.

This “review” doesn’t say much about whether the movie is any good, and hahaha, man oh man does the Hollywood Reporter eviscerate it just as you might expect, calling it a “ponderous sludge through the desert.”

They saw that Barry Gibb concert a few months back and were like WOOF, I would be enjoying this way more if I wasn’t seeing scary Barry, and off they went to the hologram machine!

The Marvin Gaye lawsuit was nothing new, those sorts of lawsuits have long happened.  I mean, publishers and artists were already doing what you claim to fear.

Hahaha. Guess you’re exempt from public health guidelines because of the color of your skin!  Pretty MAGA thing to say when you generalize it.

Get real. People who are into dancehall and jungle music; etc. use patois terms all the time. No one thinks they are “appropriating” anything, they’re just fun words to use and they’re part of the culture so it doesn’t matter whether you grew up using the terms, you’re allowed to talk like that if you’re into the…

I once saw him teabag a horse on Fear Factor.

How many people followed his advice to avoid the vaccine and got seriously sick or died? If it’s one ore more, he’s definitely among the worst of us.

Thank you, and well said. I showed my kids the Complete Novel version first, and I was like, huh, this is nowhere near as good as I remember. We then watched the theatrical version, and it came back to me like a dream. The change in the music and the pacing makes it a different movie, a far superior movie. It’s…

This reminds me of when the Big Naturals website was offering bus service from Atlanta to Panama City Beach. The bus was called the Brumski and each  passenger was allowed five minutes of motorboating the hostess. They did not serve wings either, though handiwipes were still free.

Or rather, can we please start putting Kanye’s behavior in the context of his untreated bipolarity? I mean, everyone wants to talk about his wackadoo behavior as if it’s simply the product of his egotism, but no one mentions that much of what he does—self-aggrandizement, proactive and risky behavior, flights of…

I cannot understand why AV Club posts about Kanye’s antics at least once a week without every mentioning that he’s bipolar. He’s not just a wild narcissist or troll, he’s bipolar, and admittedly refuses to seek treatment.

He’s bipolar and refuses to treat it? We should be giving him sympathy and encouraging him to seek help instead of mocking him like he’s Trump?

He’s bipolar and refuses to treat it.  If you’ve ever dealt with someone in that condition, this behavior is 100% expected.

Look: it’s no secret that Kanye is bipolar and refuses to treat it. When viewed through that lens, his behavior stops being Trumpian and quickly becomes sad. Is he being proactive and doing outlandish things to get attention? Yes. Is it the product of a reasoned decision? Probably not.

Pure shit, among the bottom quarter of superhero movies for sure. Watching it made Josh Trank’s day.

Wait until you hear about the snap in the MCU. They had kids back to school a week after they were resurrected after being dead for five years!

She collected her check, so she should pipe down and thank her lucky stars that her straight-to-DVD-quality movie went straight-to-streaming, because if people had paid to see that stank turd it might have engendered enough bad blood to kill the franchise altogether (to the extent one exists).

Huge sums of cash?
