Its very funny to see so many people referring to Joel’s “choice” and references to the trolley problem when both the game and the show make it 100% clear there is NO choice for Joel whatsoever. He’d never allow Ellie to be killed, not in a trillion universes. The last episode isn’t a moral dilemma it’s about the…

Does Joel go overboard in reclaiming Ellie: Yes.
“I thought it was strategically appalling… get on that platform and eviscerate his ideas, get on that platform and expose him for the charlatan that he is. You push back hard. You’ve given him so much power by refusing to talk.”
Ordinarily you hate to hear a celebrity is a creep, but I’d be so glad if it came out that Shaymalan groomed kids or was a rapist. It may seem extreme but it doesn’t seem like anything else will get him to stop making movies.
She is great in it. And y’all need to stop worshipping review aggregators and watch more movies with mixed/bad reviews. There are still a shocking number of critics who hate anything bold or outside-the-box, and review scores often reflect that. Blonde is one of those movies that transcended the dichotomy of “good” or…
“You switched the screenplays! And you doctored your stories! So that you could have...Provasic?”
I mean yeah. This was written and filmed when Stephen Sondheim and Angela Lansbury were alive and Elon got Twitter mere months ago. Yeah there's parts of Elon in the Bron character but there's also some Zuckerburg with the whole break things attitude, Steve Jobs with screwing over business partners and wearing a…
I think you might be conflating this discussion about one movie with a discussion about all movies, making a jump from “Paul Schrader said this movie is inaccurate” to “there’s this blanket insistence that no piece of fiction should be inaccurate.” Scope creep, if you will.
Chazelle’s problem is that he’s inspired by earlier directors inspired by cocaine, like Martin Scorsese & Paul Thomas Anderson, rather than opiate users like Abel Ferrara.
Lucas and Fielding sort of have the same comedic energy, one that doesn’t tend to build on one another the same way Mel and Sue (MEL AND SUE!!!) did, or even Noel and Sandi. They need somebody with a bit more warmth on the show.
I don’t know. Doesn’t anyone here have to deal with crazy right-wingers in their daily lives? In their jobs? I do, in my work, and if I wasn’t able to separate the person from their politics for the purpose of getting work done I’d be unemployed. Doesn’t mean I want anything to do with them in my personal life. But it…
Because it’s all actually incredibly tame and calling it “psychological torture” is dumb clickbait.
When a practical joke turns entirely on a person being so gullible they think a witch is stalking them, even though Aubrey Plaza is right there, it's pretty funny.
Yeah, it’s hard to characterize “convincing a grown adult that witches are real” as “psychologically torturing” them.
To be fair, he WAS using it as a teachable moment. Don’t make fun of one of the investors you are trying to court. Sort of basic 101 stuff.
As a general rule I tend to not hassle and or troll those who I am trying to get a job or money or similar things from. Since it tends to not exactly endear you to the person who you are wanting things from.
Okay, that’s just plain hilarious. Totally sounds like something me and my friends would do to each other back in the day. What a great way to break up the monotony of the long hours on a shoot.
