Yea, I agree completely. I stopped watching after the 3rd episode and have just been reading the reviews. Doesn’t seem like I’m missing much.

She played a robot that was created in Japan and made to look American. yawn.

A couple points: It is never confirmed that Cliff killed his wife. It’s left up in the air. He’s sitting there with the harpoon gun and his wife is drunk and stumbling to get up as the sound of a wave crashing up against the back of the boat happens. Hard cut. Obviously, Cliff’s story is that he didn’t kill his wife,…

Oh, I get it. Juzwiak doesn’t respond. That’s his whole shtick. His whole career. If he doesn’t respond, he can keep writing these insipid, uninformed op-eds. Who knows if he even exists. Rich Juzwiak is just an entity to occasionally present a trollish comment on pop culture. Congrats?

Jezebel is a weaponized echo chamber. Congrats on your “journalism”

At the risk of outing myself as not being a Jezebel commenter, do I find this echo chamber of idiots who don’t know what they’re talking about exhausting?

Oh, god. Rich Juzwiak: Go back to Gawker, where you belong.

You’re wrong at about every single turn here. If you think Tarantino was taking swipes at Thurman and that situation, would Thurman have allowed her daughter to be in the movie? If all you took from the movie was that it was a long ramble about the good old days, then you didn’t get it. I’m sorry that good work is…

Because the movie isn’t about a woman named Sharon Tate. It isn’t about an actress named Margot Robbie. Maybe the movie is using characters in ways that reflect the attitudes of that time.

Hitler is an imaginary friend of the protagonist, probably because as a fatherless Hitler youth who is being bullied, he needs some kind of masculine, powerful role model. No doubt by the end of the movie, he’ll have learned that the real person Hitler is a very bad man and that hatred, bullying, and toxic masculinity…

They never should have made it.

If this is a performance, it’s great.

At first this seems totally cool. But then you consider that this is Mattel’s idea. Then you think that they’re just rebranding their company in order to sell more dolls. Then it seems a lot less cool.

That’s the point. People do pay to see it. She’s a bankable star. She can do and say whatever she wants. When all of this social media restorative justice hoopla started a few years ago, studios got scared. Now they realize that no one gives a shit. Doug from Iowa isn’t reading the AVClub comments section.

Tell that to Thora.

Trace Lysette is not being denied leading roles in major studio films because she’s trans.

She’s absolutely right. Let actors act. They’re acting. They’re not the person they’re portraying. That’s literally their job.

I think I replied to the wrong comment. Sorry!

Historically 80-90% of pop culture has been made FOR white men? Get a grip. Movies are made for the widest possible audience. You don’t have to be a young black girl to relate with or understand the protagonist of the film version of A Wrinkle in Time. Brie Larson’s comment was just as silly as yours.

It’s funny to think that a Disney movie with a gigantic budget wasn’t made for the widest possible audience.
