That would have taken way too much legwork in a movie that was already pushing it in terms of runtime.

She was added last minute and they obviously couldn’t rewrite the entire script to include her in more. Also, cameos are not “a terrible example of screenwriting craft,” and she was CIA, so it wouldn’t make sense to make her a main character.

There’s nothing really to catch up on. I started with Goldeneye and skipped around a bunch and it was no problem. I still haven’t seen half of the movies. For No Time To Die, you might need to see just the Craig entries, but, even then, you could probably skip Quantum of Solace and read a plot summary of Spectre.

Ah, yes, because literal samurai armor complete with mall ninja sword is so much more dignified.

I know that nobody here knows how game development works, but the people making realistic sweat are not the same people writing the story.

Yes, anyone who criticizes a corporate entertainment product is fat, and, as we all know, fat people are subhuman and must be shamed at every available opportunity.

It seems like you do care, because you’ve made multiple comments about it.

There was that part where the naive, innocent sister mind controls her love interest, and then goes full nazi. I can think of no way that this plot thread could go wrong.

The Wachowskis were nothing but producers on Ninja Assassin. That was a James McTeigue film. Also, the movie’s biggest problem was
it was so dark you couldn't see anything, even in the theater.

Even David Leitch is kind of bad without Chad Stahelski.

“I saw Sicario (An adolescent power fantasy on how to right wrongs through the power of magical thinking)“

It seems like some don’t realize how long it has been since this event. It’s not ancient history, but it is history. Doing this show today would be like doing a documentary on the Iran Hostage Crisis in 2001.

The MCU does this all the time. They put most of the “character development” in between movies, instead of in the movies themselves. Like, remember when Hulk’s central character conflict was resolved between Infinity War and Endgame? It’s a pretty important development, and we don’t see it happen. It even happened to…

Except, he also played JJJ in Spider-man: Far From Home. Unless you’re claiming that Simmons playing JJJ in Venom in the middle of him playing JJJ in two MCU Spider-man movies implies no connection whatsoever, which I would dismiss as preposterous.

Since when did we start holding unmade movies against creatives? That literally happens all the time. Is Bond a black mark on Danny Boyle’s career?

If you’re against Mehmet Oz hosting, does that mean you hate all muslims?

Dude needs to fire his agent.

Nobody is “forced” to go to the theater. If you don’t want to go, you can wait. And the disease is only “raging” among morons who refused to get vaccinated. Contracting covid while vaccinated is comparatively rare, and the ones who do contract it typically have mild to no symptoms.

Nah, it was shit.

I’m just relieved that they didn’t use a slow, mournful version of the Ghostbusters theme.
