I just started this game, on the strength of this article, and it fucking owns. 

Yeah Jace isn’t bad. The Batman family seems crowded though.

The only thing Whedon and Kubrick have in common is that they’ve become demigods in geek circles, albeit for completely different reasons. What Whedon’s conduct should drive a reckoning on, is the way men can be celebrated as feminists for doing the bare minimum and especially the relationship geek culture has towards…

Yeah i dont think there is zero value in the CW. But it works best under low expectations. Anything with “Wonder Woman,” as the IP, should he treated like a top tier event. And this new character Yara Flor is the real deal.

Counterpoint: John Ford was abusive to John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara throughout their entire careers. And they kept coming back.

So yeah, it’s not “well past time to rethink auteur theory”. Auteur theory is being rethought, and has been for years.

it deserves better than the CW, anyway. let WB throw some real money at it for an HBO Max exclusive.

Yeah, buddy, because the network that’s been airing Riverdale for five seasons is sooooo concerned with the quality of its shows scripts.

I wonder if Yara being a relatively new character was part of why it didn’t get picked up. They can’t really bring much from the comics to the show.

That’s kind of why I don’t like the way this piece centers “auteur theory” as a culprit. Directors, nearly always male, were behaving like this long before the theory of auteurism was even proposed. What this piece is really discussing is the romanticized vision of the tormented artist who can’t help but throw…

Yet I can’t help but think of filmmakers like Kathryn Bigelow and Jane Campion, who also work under the “auteur theory” umbrella, and I don’t recall hearing the same sorts of criticisms from their film sets. Happy to be shown otherwise: just haven’t come across anything.

This is what’s referred to as “auteur theory” (as we understand it today), when directors have complete control over their projects and, to that end, are seen as the beginning and end of the product. They are seen as wholly and singularly responsible for—and, as a result, the sole artist worthy of celebration—all…

Seriously, was this written by an AI robot or something?

These assholes. There may be some merit to their claims that scalping is capitalism as usual, but so what? The service they provide is to ensure that people with plenty of disposable income are not subject to luck in the same way as people with moderate amounts of disposable income. Insulating the rich from mundane…

Yeah, anytime someone says something bad about someone else, even if they are vague, incoherent or absurd, we must believe them because someone said we need to examine ourselves if we don’t. Complete BS.

I was wondering how long this would take. I thought she was great in Haywire and fine on this show, but Carano has made herself radioactive. Who would want that kind of reactionary, bigoted shit on their set?

This is the way.

HBO Max has ordered an adult animated series about everyone’s favorite nearsighted sleuth...

Well, well, well. I hope the people that shit on Ray Fisher feel great about themselves.

I’ve heard rumors that there will be a special black-and-white edition, which only adds to the funereal quality of the proceedings.
