I’m so glad he keeps getting good roles. Right now we’re enjoying him on Dickinson, and if you haven’t seen him in Halt and Catch Fire he’s worth it all by himself (but that is legit one of the best shows of the 2010s).

When you’re high all the time, your standards drop quite a bit.

Right? The actual writing style of the current crop of A.V. Club writers is perfectly adequate, and if they had time to reread their pieces once or twice, we’d probably see far fewer errors. (That wouldn’t necessarily change the crappiness of their ideas, though.)

“...to make it more difficult for studios like Disney to make operating during the strike more difficult.”

If you fart a baseball after anal sex, consult a physician.

If someone asks if you’re a dork, you say DURRRRR!

Spider-who? I’ve never heard of this fellow. Wait, is he related to Ant-Man?

Don’t ruin it.

*scribbles notes* Nilus... only... likes... things... never... seen... before. Got it! *picks up phone* Get me a movie written by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, directed by Martin Scorsese, starring Ike Barinholtz. It needs to be a horror-romance-black-comedy that’s exactly two hours and nine minutes, all the other actors must…

Rankine, obviously.

Ah, the Creed Crossover Cinematic Paradigm, or CCCP: Apollo Creed caught in a fight between the Assassins and the Apostles. I’d watch that movie.

If I ran into him, I’d say it’s a crime they didn’t keep him on for another season of The Musketeers.

Yep! I’d be more or less fine with the approach if these movies all turned out to be really good on their own terms. But they’re born of cynicism, and that’s a huge handicap for ending up with a good movie.

The explicit reason Iger gave nearly a decade ago was “brand deposit,” meaning that these were meant to reinforce these brands (specifically in the minds of the young) so as to increase the long-term value of the originals. Copyright’s not really a factor because the remakes are separate works from the originals and…

Come for the typo-ridden review, stay for the arguments about French grammar.

“Oh, is that what they say? What a bunch of fuckin’ bullshit.”

I think someone described Barry’s action scenes as “bumbling mayhem” or something like that. Brutal and fast and surprising, but also not clean and sleek like your typical choreographed action fight scene.

I assumed that was a The Happening reference. I’d totally believe that that movie made Wahlberg afraid of plants.
