Best Picture: The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent

Well, I mean, I’ve met people, so I know they’re all self absorbed assholes. I understand that.

I wonder how the people who viciously attacked Isabel Fall, Laurie Forest, Laura Moriarty, Kate Elizabeth Russell, Kosoko Jackson, Amelie Wen Zhao, and Sarah J. Maas feel about the banning of this book?*

Just busting it out right in front of the guy himself is big theater kid energy

Yeah, people got it backwards when they say Dale would go QAnon. He’d view them as a bunch of posers. But Peggy? Oh she’d fall for that shit in a heartbeat.

I’m just gonna say it: white gay male actors are doing just fine. They are really and truly not hurting for roles. Andrew Rannells, Jonathan Groff, Dan Levy, NPH, Zachary Quinto, Jim Parsons, Ben Platt, Andrew Scott, Victor Garber, Matt Bomer, Ben Whishaw, Wentworth Miller, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, John Early...and…

Yeah, I’m not surprised. In this day and age, I don’t think a show about a fat cat who eats lasagna and hates Mondays is going to hold anyone’s attention.

Yes.. yes... half-bloods... mudbloods... sure it’s anti-RACIST. But mostly, it’s hamfisted anti-CLASSIST. And specifically anti-British/UK-brand-classism, which is is VERY specific.

Agree. I enjoyed all of the trilogy. The films are an expression of a personal vision. We are free to criticize them, study them, ponder how else they might have been made. It was refreshing to see work not Made-By-Committee like Tom Cruise’s uber successful consumer products. Unfortunately, once an artist produces a…

I think in that alternate universe, Michael Bay’s “Matrix REbooted: The REvenge of NEO Pt1: Smith REturns” will very easily be understood to be the stupidest movie that ever has or will be made.

“Fantastic! Chris Noth has agreed to star in my adaptation of ‘The Murder of Roger Ackroyd’!” - Kenneth Branagh, one week ago.

Right, the infinity stones were something that they retconned in later. We have these artifacts - the tesseract, the aether and Loki’s staff - let’s just say now that they were always infinity stones.

I think the MCU secret isn’t that there is a master plan. It’s that they’ve seeded the landscape so well, they can go several different ways every time and it looks like a great plan.

“Malina brings up some good points (aside from this assertion that ‘the anti-racist, progressive left often seems to tolerate and, at times, produce’ antisemitism”

I mean, it could be Tony Dalton’s Swordsman, right? Character already in the show, already in the same episode wearing the same color, and would tie things neatly up that Swordsman is behind a big mafia organization, so Bishop was right that he’s up to something.

Today on “Bait an old person into saying old person things”...

Marvel don’t hire writers and directors with encyclopedic comics knowledge, nor should they. There are always people in the writers room (or producers) who know that shit. I think the massive critical and commercial success of the likes of Wandavision vindicates them. Mephisto would have been a far less compelling vill…

Dude. This. Perfectly stated.

I hate myself for watching it but it’s one of those things that demands an autopsy.

It should have been “Train To Boston”. The whole point is they're getting out of the biggest city to a smaller coastal one!
