Or some words can have multiple meanings, even multiple meanings of largely varying degrees. A bruise is trauma, and so is a gunshot wound. Trauma here just means injury, and so long as you understand what the injury is, the extent of it can be inferred. Psychological trauma is the same way, and it doesn’t somehow…

An article which fundamentally misunderstands the movie’s core message, however...

“Finally”? Have you seen a movie?

it’s 100% the point and you can even chart this as recently as people being mad they didn’t just recast t’challa when boseman died.

this is just untrue. it gave him a new career as a ‘marvel star’ but he can’t open a movie and noone else from the mcu can, by design.

I mean...that’s the whole point of the Marvel experiment, right? It’s not that you’re excited to see RDJ and Chris Evans together; you’re excited to see Iron Man and Captain America together. 

I mean, they literally design these movies so that the stars are replaceable.

He kinda’ isn’t. Since the first Iron Man he’s branched off and headlined a few movie star vehicles here and there but really hasn’t had anything hit the pop culture zeitgeist in the same way, well, Iron Man did. Doolittle, for example, relied heavily on his movie stardom and died on arrival. He reminds me a lot of…

I think people’s main problem with it is that the superhero movies are being made instead of other types of movies

So the basic idea is this: they’re fun little chunks of spectacle, but there’s so goddamned many of them (and similar genre-focused, franchise-launching fare) that it’s exhausting at times.

I think Lucia could be enough of a broken bird for Albie. If he means what he says, being w/a sex worker wouldn’t be much of an issue for him. But, it’s big if.

every luxe place has sex workers lol, and with your views on what a sex worker is I’m not surprised that you never noticed.

This. I tried to articulate this upthread. If she has to confront him in order for him to come clean, it’s already too late: he’ll be either the guy who cheats on her or the guy who lies to her, and either way the relationship is broken.

Harper does not confront her husband, because she wants to give him a chance to come clean on his own. She asks him multiple times, what he did that night. And if he told her the truth - Cameron invited sex workers to their room, they took drugs, Cameron slept with the sex workers, but he didn’t - that would be a…

and she shared that with Ethan, there was no bro-betrayal him telling her what happened.

she falters when she sees the smallest of cracks in her own.

Just saw it - pretty spot-on review. “...a searchingly enthralling Anya Taylor-Joy” really sums her up here. Every once and I while I think “is she over-hyped?”, then she’s on-screen and... nope. I mean, she’s holding her own with Voldemort here!

Minor spoiler:
.

His roles in The Favourite, The Great, and The Menu all seem like variations on a theme (not that I’m complaining, he’s fantastic in the first two).

Who were the mafia types in the movie?

Squandering hundreds of dollars on a dime-sized portion
