It definitely shoulda been some sort of team-up movie, with people besides the extended Marvel family (or they shoulda saved the Marvel Family stuff for the second movie entirely.) Were there really any MCU solo movie sequels that were truly solo movies? Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Dr. Strange, even Spider-Man,…

Latter day AV Club writer has gall to complain about syntax.

People love being pedantic about what genre the winners fall under. The Shape of Water is (for all intents and purposes) as much a sf film as EEAAO but people are going to argue that it was technically fantasy while ignoring that EEAAO could also be easily classified as fantasy because there’s a lot of overlap between…

Ant-Man could have justified a third film.

With Feige, Kathleen Kennedy was probably headed to his birthday party when she realized her assistant hadn’t thought to buy his gift (it was supposed to be baseball cap, again), and she was like, “Okay, Wendy, for the third time this month I’ve got to give someone a Star Wars trilogy because you couldn’t be bothered…

So dull. So much exposition. So much speechifying.

“its a cult film if i say it is!”

let’s pretend it was some kind of avant garde masterpiece instead of just mediocre

Love this bit: “While not explicitly related to J.K. Rowling’s rampant transphobia, The Fabelmans director is the latest Hollywood figure to publicly distance himself from Harry Potter and the Wizarding World.”

This is some rancid clickbait even for you, AVC.

In 2020 he BOLDLY TWEETED

Yeah, for all the complaints about this movie being “just Ferngully in Space” and the like, what exactly is the problem with more Ferngully? I’m not even opposed to the glut of superhero content these days, but if we have upwards of ten superhero movies and TV shows a year, why not a few more unabashed environmental…

It ends instead as a mostly cerebral exercise that leaves you wanting to read Kristen Roupenian’s original story.

Maverick is a good flick, but Oscar worthy? Come on.

Wasn’t FF6 the one with the 80mph chase down a runway that lasted 30 minutes?

The criticisms are not addressed because the reasons for the criticisms are not addressed. Let’s be very honest here: women are offended by the fact that men date younger women because it makes them feel like there is an expiration date on their value as a partner. That is a very real, very HUMAN emotion. I would love…

I wouldn’t want a relationship like that but that’s me. But lots of people (mostly men but Madonna and Cher are examples of women who engage in similar relationships, so it’s not just men, though women of course get way more shit for it) want exactly that. They don’t want to be with someone who is their equal in age…

Doc Strange 2 wound up at $950 million, ninth biggest opening weekend of all time, around $300 million improvement on Doc 1, all without a release in China, which would’ve pushed it into billion dollar territory. Quality gap aside, there’s no possible way to read that as a case of diminishing returns.

I applaud your bravery/condemn your bandwagoning, depending on whatever the contrarian position is.

Well I for one am totally outraged by/fine with this, depending on what everyone else in the comments section thinks.  And I stand by that.
