Sorry we hurt your field, spidah.

I mean, nepo babies are an annoying and frustrating reality of the modern entertainment industry, no argument, but it’s not like you’ve uncovered the hidden truth behind the Kennedy assassination here, friend. We’re not through the looking glass. It’s not “weird af”.
Oh man, seeing Connery strut around that shitkicker redneck podunk casino in the classic white-jacket tux while everyone around him seems to be wearing denim is oddly depressing. Like, thanks for making the effort, but you really shouldn’t have bothered.
What a clean old man.
Look, I know young people have to exist and there’s nothing I can do about it, but an article which is basically “Guys! Guys! Did you know Sean Connery was James Bond?! And he was actually good?! Pity your average person living at the height of the Cold War knew almost nothing about the threat of nuclear technology…
AFAIK The plan is basically:
Fair enough, but I didn’t count Somewhere because the child character in that is ten or eleven or something, which is more pre-teen, and given that they’re historical dramas which happen to involve girls we’d now consider teenagers it’s not like Marie Antoinette and The Beguiled are exactly about modern teenagers and…
I would argue that the tacit power dynamic is so weak as to not really exist for the purposes of giving him shit. He wasn’t personal security for Swift who could yay or nay a direct fan interaction, he was event security essentially babysitting an audience.
For that matter, are her films even especially about teen girls? I mean, several of them have teen girls in them as main characters, sure, but they don’t generally seem to be especially about themes specific to teen girls, and there’s many she’s made which aren’t really about teenagers or teen issues at all.
I say this with no disrespect, hostility or insult intended, but it kind of has to be said: when you’re splitting hairs like that, I’m not really sure you have much ground to be complaining about others twisting a situation into knots to make an argument. Seriously, “I wasn’t giving my number to people, I was just…
Like it’s great that you have young daughters. Do you think you own them? Do you think they’ve never given out their phone numbers to assholes in their class? If your starting point with them is paranoia and fear of other people, have fun with their therapy.
Looks both stupid and pompous simultaneously.
Once is homage. Roughly every third shot in the trailer is overdoing it.
Be Awed: The Movie
Maybe it’s because I’m not especially into Star Wars, but reading this article felt a bit like someone saying “You know what the reason to watch this new Star Wars show is? Unlike those other Star Wars shows, which entangle themselves in boring fanwank and pedantically filling in semi-obscure plot gaps from spin-offs…
Also, if they’re going to compare Black Widow favourably to Twister, Mission Impossible and Independence Day, they probably shouldn’t then include it on the slide where they talk about how shitty 2021 was for movies. Sends off kind of a mixed message there, AV Club.
Even leaving aside Wonder Woman 2, Gal Gadot and Jason Momoa had what were probably the biggest successes of the DCEU era, so no huge surprise that they’ll keep their options open there. Peacemaker, Viola Davis and Margot Robbie are directly connected to bits that Gunn himself has made, so no huge surprise there…
Cynicism. The reason we care is because of cynicism. We all care about this is because the controversy is the only reason to care about it, and I suspect that Disney knows this all too well. They’re not getting anyone to talk about their remakes on the basis of quality; we all know they’re cheap, cynical cash-grabs.…
[Doesn’t even bother clicking the slideshow, just scrolls to the comments to see if Midnight Run made it into the top ten, sees that it didn’t.]
