As soon as someone says something along the lines of “Scorsese only makes mob films about toxic white guys,” I know I can ignore them immediately, because that only describes, what, four of his twenty-six films, and it ignores all his efforts to promote and preserve world cinema.

Jesus wept why do I still keep coming back to this place.

You know it’s because I’m here.

I would argue even his flops like Kundun still generate more discussion then some Marvel films.  When was the last time a human being mentioned Iron Man 2?

an entire body of work steeped in the belief that toxic masculinity is the organizing principle of the cosmos

The Eternals and Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania were outright flops

I know this place isn't a hivemind, but saying the Irishman is a snore and linking to a review that gave it an A minus is certainly something. 

I don’t need to.

I agree. When your brand of comedy is more social commentary and you’re poking at racial tensions, embellishing/fabricating seems to do more of a disservice when similar events inevitably do happen. As far as he took the prom thing seems to be straight defamation too.

100% agree - Goodbye Cruel World is great fun, and King of America is a bit of a slog.

People get so mad when they read this stuff. Yeah, you can watch old stuff on streaming services, if you can find them in the dustiest back-menu before they get dropped off. But independent—or even midbudget studio—movies aren’t being greenlit and playing in the theaters which makes new filmmakers struggle more than…

they’ll be doing it when he dies, and for years afterwards

especially considering frasier could be considered a cynical cheers IP grab in and of itself.

My favorite was Supergirl using anti super powered space alien sentiment to preach about how we treat immigrants in the US, meanwhile they made the first female president turn out to be secretly an alien wearing a human face, stupidly playing into every antisemitic conspiracy theory and the demonization of women in…

I talk about the X-men problem all the time. There’s literally a mutant rating scale of ‘who can cause the Apolalypse with their mind.’ There’s a Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Mutants have, in fact, tried to genocide all non-mutants multiple times.

THIS IS A BAD ALLEGORY FOR THE IRRATIONALITY OF OPPRESSION.

I mentioned this above but my recently-out friend was so hurt and angry that I said the anti-vampire people were clearly in the right (as were the anti-zombie ‘bigots’ in the British gay zombie allegory In The Flesh).

They kill people, Brian! Constantly! In really sick and brutal ways! I don’t care that they’re gay…

True Blood and the slightly-later In the Flesh were two shows that really, really, really mattered to my recently-out gay best friend and he got so hurt that I wouldn’t take them seriously—and he got really upset that I thought they were shit allegories for queer oppression.

They fucking kill people, Brian. Brutally.…

Someday Cyclops is going to be used as a 2nd amendment poster boy. "He's always carrying so why can't I" or something equally moronic.

I hope they call his character Dave.
