That might be the lowest moment of Clints career and I’m not even joking

Richard Jewell had a lot of good acting but that stuff with Kathy Scruggs was really sleazy. Also I couldn’t help but notice the whole narrative of innocent man framed by media and FBI and the actual crazy right wing bomber isn’t really discussed. I’m not dumb Clint I know what your doing.
On a purely dramatic level, Clint Eastwood’s Chris Kyle is a perfectly compelling character. But given that American Sniper is a depiction that celebrates Kyle as a war hero and shows us his funeral, the movie fully snipes itself in the foot by lionizing a shitty guy.
Late Eastwood movies only seem to be popular or talked about when they’re very bad. Whenever he makes something genuinely interesting or good, it gets largely ignored. American Sniper is embarassingly terrible and it was a huge hit. I’ll never understand it.
The only thing audacious about 15:17 To Paris is how bad it is.
Dirty Harry is definitely a reactionary movie, although you could easily point to Magnum Force to say Dirty Harry the character is not.
...that’s the most pretentious fucking title I’ve ever heard.
I still remember that scene in 15:17 where Pam from the Office said I trust god more then math. What a mess of a film.
One of my favourite critics, who has a big Eastwood soft spot, suggested that Eastwood added a touch of subversion\cynicism to the film...
Should we get the arguing about whether American Sniper is right-wing propaganda out of the way now, or wait for next week?
It’s hard to guess where his vision was compromised in a game about...apocalyptic Amazon workers with fetal ghost detectors? But who knows.
Of course her works extrapolate wildly from her own experiences and her intuitions of what must be true - it’s all she’s been trained to do.
The framing here seems a little unlikely: how can a studio that is virtually defined by its aversion to risk challenge itself? It won’t. It will continue to absorb elements of other popular genres and declare them to be risks, and we’ll all seem commenters everywhere repeat every word.
It feels like Marvel is taking the lesson of Guardians and going to the next level - can it build an entire phase around heroes that casual fans are unfamiliar with.
If this really cost $200 million then that’s probably the reason it got canceled lol. Like I don’t think even the most expensive season of Game of Thrones cost that much.
Jupiter’s Legacy looked like they were trying cash in on the popularity of The Boys but they just don’t have the balls to go full Ennis.
Switch? This I gotta see.
Have the parents and/or babies make some new friends? People with babies make new parent/playdate friends all the time. Send them to preschool, new friends, bing-bang-boom.
This thing where characters (exclusively female characters, it seems) who were the subject of “lol, they’re gay” gags on the early internet (Betty, Buttercup, Velma) are now being made canonically gay in reboots seems a little bit...I dunno, maybe it’s good. I have the sneaking suspicion it’s one of those things that…
I’m glad they got that feedback. Super early in the game when you’re in the village for the first time and you get a ton of enemies after you and you basically just have to run around long enough to trigger a cut scene- I was SUPER worried about how the rest of the game was going to play out.
