“That feels especially true at a moment when the very notion of a conventional relationship is kind of outdated”

Dude can’t just admit to making a bad movie. It’s like he’s almost there, but then does the whole “audiences like women to be nice in their movies” bit. Like, really? They do, huh? You get this data from the poll you conducted in your own head? We surveyed 10 men and they unanimously decided that women in movies…

It’s got a 60 percent on Metacritic right now. That’s probably a bit less favorable than the B Gilchrist gives it, but doesn’t suggest he’s markedly out of step with what other critics think.

I believe that I may live in an alternate dimension with the only difference being that Free Guy was fucking crap. I have no idea what movie people saw that I didn’t but to me it was very generic. I remember hearing “buzz” about how “You won’t believe what happens at the end” only to find out that the big “reveal” was…

This sentence seemed pretty questionable: “Turning Red also reflects a new level of refinement in Pixar’s animation, which increasingly reveals direct and immediate human (as opposed to toy, bug, car, robot, anthropomorphized emotion) experiences.”

Considering how the AV Club’s review of Turning Red already touched on all these themes (at the expense of talking about stuff like plot, pacing, voice acting, animation quality, etc.), I don’t really see the point of rehashing, yet again, how the movie is Important and Good. And to be clear: I’m excited to see…

Funny, this feature feels like a review and the actual review fells like a feature article.

Why on Earth does anyone make an animated movie that’s a period piece set in 2002? Why does Martin Tsai’s bio read that he was an AV Club New York Intern from 2006 to…

Well this guy sucks

I remember when AV Club reviewed films.

Not just still alive, but still ACTIVELY working. He has two roles in 2022 releases, and 2 more upcoming projects in post production. The man is in his 90s!

Thank goodness!!! As a mom, I’m sooo sick of so-called children’s movies that feature long, drawn out and NEEDLESS sequences of Asian people being violently attacked!! (Looking at you, Boss Baby 2!!) This movie sounds like a welcome change!!!

I feel like we’re buying the lede here that James Hong is still alive. What is this guy, cursed with incorporeality by Emperor Qin Shi Huang or some shit?  

LMFAO!

Andrew Garfield wasn’t the problem with his Amazing Spider-Man movies. For some reason Sony had to hand the reins to Marvel Studios and make complicated IP sharing arrangements for concepts like “write a good script” and “cast the villains memorably.”

Let Webb come back and edit TASM 1&2 and put out Director’s Cuts.

“a certain sentient storm of minerals (played by… well, it’s not entirely clear, even after a climactic desanding).”

the cackle and crooked grin of a slumming Oscar winner....

dafoe is an oscar winner in the alternate universe that goblin comes from.

By the way Dafoe is not a Oscar winner.
