it’s why it’s better than the first one. the first one was still trying to be a real movie, this one has fire punches.

Guy who was about to write “These Three Kids Are Ungrateful Brats” upon hearing this: Well now you’ve taken the fun out of it.

This is more like a white person claiming to be black, redefining what it means to be black, and using their proclaimed identity to erase organizations, resources, protections and spaces set up for actual black people.

Communist China and Soviet Russia show that atheist can also do atrocities. I don’t think that is a God thing and sadly is just a human thing 

Fuck and no. You cannot call yourself an ally unless you are willing to use every button on your keyboard. I’m on the fence about special characters, though, so I obviously need to do more work.

Robert Pattinson and Elijah Wood have done the same thing. Hell, I even forget that R-Pattz was in Twilight sometimes because I associate him way more closely with weird indies now than a major franchise.

The fact that Radcliffe does weird, sometimes kind of fucked-up indie movies he finds interesting because he can afford to due to the financial safety cushion of his Potter money speaks nothing but well of him. Glad he’s doing something like the film the above image is from rather than “Christmas Prince” romcoms or…

I am very much a supporter of human rights for everyone but can we stop adding letters and numbers to LGBTQ? 

I imagine she truly and passionately believes in what she’s saying, so it’s a cause for her. Also, and I don’t know much about the Potter scene, but I think those books and movies appealed to a very broad spectrum, including people who sympathize with Rowling.  People live in bubbles and I like my bubble, but there…

“OK, it’s sad about JK Rowling. Now does anyone want to talk about any of the other films I’ve been in? There’s, like, 16 of them. Also, I act in plays and television.”
“Yeah, that’s great. So about Harry Potter...”

“It also largely suggests that the Bible is meant to be taken literally, which is the position that unites fundamentalist Christians and many atheists but not really any other people who use the Bible.”

It people are fighting over whether a hot dog is a sandwich or not... both groups can, in fact, be stupid.

I think this is further proof that Hogwarts is a truly excellent school.

Exactly. Not just normal kids, but decent actors, with actual careers.

I’m just loving that the overall discourse in this subthread is proving your point. It’s dueling dogmas.

I also got whiplash from the way this article seemed to keep pivoting back and forth on whether the author thought it was the worst take, a legit take, a weird take, etc.

I liked it.

I don’t think it necessarily seemed he wasn’t interested in the film...I think it was DEFINITELY clear that Waititi was more interested in just having fun and fucking around and thinking more professionally and creatively about the movie.

Reading the full passage in the piece, it does seem like Hemsworth is mostly referring to the first two Avengers movies, which I was glad to see. I thought he was really the anchor of Infinity War — he got to play all the disparate aspects of the character (the humor, the nobility, the low-grade pettiness, the sense,…

IMO it’s not about it feeling fresh or not, Love and Thunder is just a poorly written and directed movie that leaned into the worst aspects of Ragnarok. It had interesting subplots with Jane’s battle with cancer and Gorr’s anger at the gods but both took a backseat to unnecessary and, frankly, annoying humor like the…
