Well said. That Lucas segment was the also one that worked best for me. It was actually quite heartbreaking to see a guy mourning his loss of creative control, knowing that a corporate safety-first agenda would dictate the approach to the new SW film. I would have liked the video to explore that a bit more as opposed…

I'm not sure I could define what art is so confidently, but yeah, I broadly agree with your position.

The fact that these things are not to your taste does not preclude the review from making some good points.

Except they didn't do that. What RLM did was to provide a thoughtful, humorous and nuanced take on how Sony were exploiting and inflating the odious voices of a minority of youtube commenters in order to shape a narrative for financial gain.

Sure, that'd leave anyone with basic human decency with a bad aftertaste. I certainly don't endorse that sort of thing, and nor do RLM. They actually praised Jones as one of the strongest parts of the film in their review. I do think it is perhaps worth watching again, particularly the Science Man skit - especially…

I thought their Ghostbusters review and Science man skit were actually both fairly even-handed analysis of the film and the discourse-stunting narrative that surrounded it. I particularly enjoyed how they focused on the machinations of Sony as a studio. ComicbookGirl19 gave a similar overview in her 'why its important…

I loved this article, I was enraptured with it from start to finish, particularly this bit:

I can totally believe it.

I like Dom. This show does a really good job of quickly establishing rounded characters. Hope she finds an adequate replacement for her turkey sandwich sometime soon.

I don't disagree outright with anything in this piece. I would, however, be wary of continually describing the box Robbie has sometimes found herself in over highlighting the brilliant things she has done within those confines. It's a delicate balancing act, but one I feel this article doesn't quite pull off. Suicide…

Hey, that's cool. Our tastes evolve and change.

Been getting over a summer head cold with some Olbus oil and SF. Apparently my ears are bunged with wax so i have to put olive oil in them thrice daily until later in the month when the nurse practitioner will clear them out. No, really.
As for the SF, I watched all the new episodes of Dark Matter S2 and it felt like…

Sure, they're different disciplines. I actually quite liked him in Analyze This. But I only saw it once (quite some time ago), so I'm not sure if my opinion still holds. I think he does naturalistic comedy quite well (see MR for reference) But I'm guessing you think with the more overt stuff it feels a bit forced?

I think that's a healthy way to look at it.

Ahh, thanks. Yeah that one's poo.

Totally agree, great film, really needs to be talked about more often. He wasn't playing a 'wacky comedy character' if that's what you mean (actually, none of the characters in that movie fit that description), but his understated banter and dry delivery as the foil to Charles Grodin made the humour work. When you can…

Well you needn't be. The man's life is his own. There are plenty of great movies to dig out if you want to rekindle that De Niro love.

I'll never really understand how this sort of thing is disheartening. It's De Niro's talent and he can do what he wants with it. Look at what he's given us already. People said the same thing about Peter Cook - 'oh what a waste of talent and potential' etc but if a man completes his masterworks and just wants to get…

I concur! It's a well executed cringe comedy that is aided by De Niro's uber-gruff performance. The sequels haven't helped people look back on it kindly though…

True enough. I still remember that killer bee movie he did. Exceptionally enjoyable schlock. And I love how unapologetic he was about doing it!
