100% this. She’s not awful, she just doesn’t have the skillset needed to turn in a good performance with just her voice. You’re spot on about keeping her studio time short, too, I would imagine. They already had to pay her fer likeness rights and do facial scans, I have to assume they tried to keep her costs (which…

I don’t know if the script will stand up to scrutiny (co-writer Chris Weitz has a very spotty CV), but I am confident in saying that Gareth Edwards is one of the best i the business. Whether you enjoy them or not, Monsters, Godzilla, and Rogue One are all impeccably directed films.

Just an absolute, all-time cunt, this guy.

I feel terrible for all the people working at Unity who told them this shit was going to happen, only to have those concerns ignored because Riccitiello is a miserable piece of shit who does not give a fuck.

Unity is a publicly traded company, one which Johnny boy has irrevocably ruined the reputation of essentially…

Nothing short of throwing out the god-awful script and doing a complete page-one rewrite would have saved that terrible POS but, I will maintain, the only narrative for Cole that would have made any sense would have been for him to secretly have been Kuai Liang (or, rather, a version of him).

Having him be Hanzo’s…

You’re goddamn right it does. It’s AQUAMAN, not fucking Watchmen...I’d have it no other way.

How very dare you. Chopper may be a war criminal, but he’s no scab.

That is the most relatable moment in any movie ever for me, lol.

Or, we can all admit the sad truth that rarely, if ever, do we truly ever know anyone.

The person Mila and Ashton were such close friends with is an altogether different person, a disguise used to hide the disgusting monster he actually was. They’re not bad people for loving that part of Masterson who was good to them,…

Best case scenario: The poor testing score are coming from it just being too absurdist and weird for general audiences (especially studio suits), but will work like absolute dynamite for a very specific audience.

Point: Constant rewrites, multiple reshoots, poor tests, yadda yadda...

Counterpoint: Big Monster.

I’m like...half and half on Ahsoka.

Like, it’s good...it is GOOD....but there are couple of thing about it that are really rubbing me the wrong way.

The writing is so, so, SO dry, and I can’t figure out why. Characters in this show don’t talk TO each other, everyone talks AT each other. It’s all so weirdly formal in a…

So when Filloni does it it’s refreshing, when Rian Johnson does it he gets cries of childhoods being raped, the entire IP being ruined beyond saving, and death threats....boy, this sure is a super cool fandom we got, here.

(FWIW, this isn’t a dig at Whitbrook or Filloni. It is 100% a shot at one…

For sure, artists tend to get deified to some extent when they reach a certain point of success in their careers, but I honestly can’t think of one that’s been put on such a high pedestal as Taylor since The Beatles.

Maybe Nirvana, but they pushed back against it hard and they were doing something genuinely refreshing…

Honestly, this is all fine. I’m the easiest possible mark for anything Marvel, and even I was starting to get a bit worn out. Slowing the pace down a bit can only help.

I had no idea what tickets to her shows cost, and judging by what I’m seeing, $250 won’t even get you in the door. The cheapest tickets I’m seeing, for a show in Oct 2024, START at $850 for the “cheap” seats and go up to...wait for it....NINETEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS....

I suppose that explains why this concert movie is…

Nothing against Taylor or her music, but it’s pop music...like, it’s JUST pop music. Why do people treat this woman like she’s Jesus Christ and her music the Gospel? I guess this is my “old man yells at cloud” moment, cause I just do not at all get it.

Man, this genuinely bums me out. I get it, training people on a proprietary engine takes time away from actual development and makes recruitment that much harder, but REDengine was extremely impressive, seemed to be able to scale really well, and didn’t suffer from that samey “look” that a lot of UE games tend to have …

Never saw Hell to Pay, but I haaaaaaaaaaated Assault on Arkham. So much so that it is the movie that made me stop buying/watching DC’s animated films altogether.

Did I have a stroke, or does all of this sound like some revisionist history bs (or just cosmic levels of delusion)?

Every single report that came out of the production of this flick paints a wholly different picture that what Ayer is saying. If his dailies were so good, and his original vision for the film so great…
