They’re both brown actors, and as far as new AV Club goes, that’s close enough!

I think that particular problem belongs in the category “Don’t care. Go fuck yourself. Gotta get back to work.”

“Queerness is so enmeshed in the cinematic roots of horror that the two are virtually inseparable” - stumped me. Maybe a feature to explain this?

How does a writer not know this???

hoi polloi doesn’t mean “the rich”, it means “the people”, as in rabble, the common man, etc.

Its shitty juvenile bullshit but I think people throw around words like “sexual assault” way to quickly for things that are clearly not.

“(For the record, screenwriters Karen McCullah and Kirsten Smith have denied writing such an ending.)“

I don’t even get the thing about “learning [their] lesson” with Solo. Is it just because it was Harrison Ford? I mean, Ewan McGregor’s done a darn fine job with an iconic franchise character who was originally played by an absolute legend.

That might not be the issue with the movie in terms of its content; Alden Ehrenreich is a good actor and does bring something interesting to the role and character. The issue might be that audiences just aren’t that interested in the character without Harrison Ford (particularly a young Harrison Ford), which may be why…

Solo is actually my favorite of the Disney-era SW movies. It’s not great and has a couple absolutely cringe moments, but I like it for what it is.

Seriously. I actually liked Solo, but there were certainly problems with it. A different actor playing Han Solo was not one of them.

I’m sure they will take your letter just as seriously as you take Barsanti.

Mary Kate Carr continues to make a living criticizing the work of other people with actual creative talent. You bottom feeder.

I’m serious... I’m writing a letter to the AV Club. You’re a fucking joke.

Go fuck yourself, Sam Barsanti. Quit pissing on people for enjoying things you fucking hack.

I’m either in the minority or a quiet majority, but I like how these shows give minor characters more to do. It makes the world feel more alive, and means fun characters like Darcy aren’t wasted on a handful of scenes in Thor 2.
