I thought it was, but all I could find on the interwebs was he had a degree in philosophy and I didn’t want to get “well, actually’d.”  So here I sit in shame for not having the courage of my convictions.

A by-the-book actioner that’s sunk by indifferent performances, muddled storylines, and stilted dialogue.

But apparently that wasn’t the movie he wanted to make.

that includes crew members not making out with each other

That’s a Trump level burn right there.

I also gave it up years ago because, delicious as it is, they are just too smart.

The Humungus. The Lord Humungus. The Warrior of the Wasteland. The Ayatollah of Rock and Rollah!

I’m just relieved the problem involved “love” and not “bleeding.”

I bet he did that to avoid people projecting simplistic, modern day politics on it. Especially if he was interesting in talking more about the function of a free press in a democracy. If he made it Texas and Florida, or California and New York, then the President would automatically be the other side and people would g…

It’s a demonstration of systemic sexism in society. People still assume gender specific jobs and roles and while they may readily accept that there can be male flight attendants, female pilots, female physicians, et cetera, they have to actually think about such things. When they don’t, they automatically revert to…

I can't blame him. It's hard to keep track of what's what in "Yellowstone" with all those spinoffs.

I love “Ex Machina” and might go for that in IMAX.

I bestow upon you our highest honor:

He wasn’t great. But I can’t really hold a 9 year old accountable for a bad performance. It’s not like he’s a professional who had spent decades honing his craft or dreaming about the project. Unlike the guy who wrote his part and directed his performance.

The trailers make this look like the blandest movie ever made.

No, the prequels haven’t been “normalized” or redeemed. Showing them on regular cable a lot doesn’t make them better. Excusing them as “children’s films” or pointing out that Rise of Skywalker is worse doesn’t make them better or justify their low quality.

This is my point, although you made it better and in more depth. His death is much worse for Boeing than him being alive.  He’s done his damage and killing him now just causes discussions like the ones being had.

The obvious conclusion is Boeing did it, but that would be the obvious conclusion before the fact and anybody planning it would have to be Trump levels of non-self aware to not see that.

You know how Kettle chips absolutely destroy the roof of your mouth like shards of glass?
