It’s possible I’ve been reading this website too long (I’ve definitely been reading this website too long) but I read this whole piece in the voice of “Get a load of this shameless clown throwing out silly arguments to defend the juvenile movies he starred in.”
A lot of the big 2000s/10s stars seem to have quietly half-retired. George Clooney hasn’t been in a theatrical live action film in 8 years. Jennifer Lawrence went almost 5 years after Dark Phoenix (2019). Hugh Jackman has made I think 1 live action theatrical film since 2017s The Greatest Showman (until Deadpool 3…
Don’s making room for new inventory! This weekend only, so don’t miss out on our SUPER SALE at DON JOHNSON HONDA!
fun fact: chris evans hasn’t been in a theatrically released live action film in 5 years.
Dakota Johnson WISHES she could be in the MCU. She’s in the Sonyverse, which is like if the MCU had flunked out of college but still thinks it’s too good to work for its dad’s dealership. Or something. Idk.
When the director is the one cutting scenes, of course. When it’s the producers cutting them, that’s another story.
Most contemporary AVC pieces have a weird tone; the writers want to have their snark and eat it, too.
They started with more creator-centric flicks, established a shared universe, used it to create a hell of an epic, and then let it basically become a giant, green-screened neon fight.
I have not seen Part 2 yet but my assumption was that he was Count Fenring because I can see him as the character. The thing is Fenring is one of those Dune characters that is a “fan favorite” the same way Tom Bombadil is for LOTR. He is “important” in the world and add many levels to the world building but as a…
To be fair, between two Fantastic Fours, Push, The Losers, Scott Pilgrim, and his prolonged Captaincy of America, I imagine he’s scratched his comic-book itch quite comprehensively.
It’s Count Fenring. He’s not in the movie, but his wife is so clearly that whole subplot had some level of importance in the adaptation process. I don’t know why we’re pretending there’s any mystery to this.
Sometimes I remove shots and I say, ‘I cannot believe I’m cutting this out.’ I feel like a samurai opening my gut. It’s painful, so I cannot go back after that and create a Frankenstein and try to reanimate things that I killed. It’s too painful. When it’s dead, it’s dead, and it’s dead for a reason.
The tone of this piece is weird. Ignoring the current state of the MCU (which I’ve personally moved on from), are we going to pretend that the Infinity Saga wasn’t 1) fun as hell and 2) a genuine narrative feat tying together 23 movies over an 11 year stretch?
I wonder who Nelson was going to play? Would be interesting to have seen him as a creepy Harkonnen, or maybe one of Gurney’s smugglers.
Magic Bus and Boris the Spider were their two most I don’t care songs when I saw them live
I really like Eminence Front from the 80s. It sounds like it was made for Miami Vice, it actually was used in Miami Vice, and the subject matter is sooooo Miami Vice. But the synthesizer intro is amazing and the mood is pleasantly dark. It feels like the most modern of the Who’s work, but people wanted the older stuff…
Magic Bus was always a beer-and-bathroom break for me at their live shows.
“The Kids Are Alright” has always been my favorite, it just feels lyrically subversive over the top of a pretty standard 60s group sound.
