This sequence could use a little more slow motion. What if someone doesn’t notice that a dramatic scene of self-sacrifice is happening?

A thousand artists were hired to create and collaborate on the same project.

I don’t think you understand that this is all connective tissue, you think your favorite books and films came from out of thin air? Even your favorite term papers to read came from ideas taken from elsewhere.

I’ll miss this run when it’s over. Coates has the classic Marvel style down cold: fantasy theatrics that carry the weight of modern life without ever feeling on-the-nose or hectoring. This story has integrity as both fantasy and superheroics without allowing the meaning to puppeteer the surface events in a facile way.…

You say that like Endgame wasn’t the culmination of a hundred years of cinema, acting, and writing in a genre that was once seen as nothing more but Sunday paper fodder.

It was inevitable that Endgame would find its way onto the movie ballot, but I’m surprised that the full list includes three Disney blockbusters, two streaming miniseries, and only one non-franchise film.

Gideon the Ninth is absolutely amazing. And I’m convinced that its author is totally insane, but only in the best ways.

Let’s just cross our fingers that this is not an evolving blueprint for the end of theatrical distribution. I’m sure many people are ready to tell me that they prefer the couch for reasons, which...fine, but nothing focuses my attention like being in the dark with a crowd and a big screen. 

I was thinking about this film while I was reading through this (excellent) list. Lead or not, Josephine Siao walks away with that movie. 

Part of me wishes they would assign Jason Fabok to a different writer. His work for John Layman on Detective Comics showed some incredibly sharp storytelling Each perspective anticipated the content of the next few panels, giving the issues a witty and fluid feel. His figure drawing felt like a less stylized version…

I’m all in favor of self-contained runs, with some kind of balance between serialization and novelistic unity, but even so I’m sorry to see Coates step away from this title. His scripts delved gleefully into Marvel’s toy chest but also felt tapped into politics and history, which is to say that they felt like Marvel…

That’s a good thing, right?

Does the choice of director really matter when it comes to Marvel movies?

I think if people badger them enough, they’ll put the old Fox stuff on Hulu or DP.

There’s no question that Disney’s going to treat the valuable IP that it purchased well, but at the same time, it’s difficult not to see this as a symbolic bow placed ever so carefully atop a well-wrapped present of Monopoly.

If you’re really stupid, you can’t grasp significant, often horrifying moments in history. So it’s good to be really stupid.

With “MARWEN”, it seems he got fixed on this interesting visual component (man working through his mental issues using dolls), but ultimately wasn’t the best person to tell that story in a dramatic and compelling way.

Man. It’s been a long time since Robert Zemeckis has made a legitimately good movie.

Paul W.S. Anderson, the director behind the Resident Evil films, is ready to tackle another video game franchise. This one is Monster Hunter, about a group of highly trained soldiers who go through a portal into a world of monsters. Milla Jovovich, Tony Jaa, Ron Perlman, and Meagan Good star. (September 4)

Was I the only one that thought the original lacked vision? Like the big magic stuff was an inception rip off and the smaller stuff was just shoulder shrug. I thought guard Ian’s and Ant-Man had more vision, and was actually worried that derrickson couldn’t really visualize madness or a multiverse.
