thanks, that’s it exactly. It’s not about Native Magic, It’s the curse of colonial genocide. 

I try not to be too harsh, because in the current media landscape I’m sure these writers are under all sorts of insane pressures regarding deadlines and engagement and who knows what else. But, at the same time, criticism when done right can be an interesting and thought-provoking genre in itself, and this isn’t it.

this is a new low. 

He’s pissed at Trump for not coming back to Twitter with glorious fanfare once he got unbanned. I’m sure Trump wanted too but I suspect there are contract with Truth Social that require him to stay posting there.   

Nothing has ever made me feel as out of touch as Yellowstone and the greater Yellowstoneverse, and the casting of this spinoff only continues my befuddlement.

I ended up liking Albie a lot more than I thought I would. Just like Cameron he’s redeemed a bit by his ultimate ability to take a punch. He gets dumped for the fun caveman, and handles it gracefully. Then he gets scammed by the broken bird, and doesn’t seem too bitter about it either.

I did predict that Albie and…

What are some filmmakers that you like? That might be an interesting thing to talk about, rather than piling onto a 5-year old garbage fire of toxic Star Wars fandom.¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

I think Craig’s ridiculous accent is part of the appeal of this franchise. We all know he doesn’t really sound like that, and in fact nobody really sounds like that, but he’s having so much fun in character that it makes everything around him more fun. It also establishes a kind of hyperreality that causes all the…

Unless he has a criminal history, he won’t got to jail for this.  He’ll get a fine of a few hundred dollars.  Why does everyone seem to think he’ll go to prison?

I mean, whilst I broadly agree with you in principal, I think you need to be at least vaguely realistic about the consequences here.

As someone who deals with IP and NDA’s all the time in the normal course of business....get over it. 

“Avatar kind of sucked.”

No offense but this is a pretty insane barometer for morality 

how much of your money can I steal until you start to question my individual behaviour? Does it matter if you consider yourself rich or just if you seem rich to me?

I don’t think it was a classic nice guy act. I think White was leading us in that direction, and then moved past the trope into something more realistic and complicated. Albie never acted angry towards her, and they both mutually parted on a positive note, despite also showing some mutual pettiness at the bar.

Fair points. I didn’t meant to dismiss them. I was mocking the reviewer for  highlighting the Olsen thing and the video game adaptation instead of listing more recent things.

To be fair, the author seemed to take his first credit and his last credit and called it a day.

I really liked Big Eyes

Yeah I simply don’t get the claim that 80s cinema was a worst era in any way.  It was a letdown after the groundbreaking 70s perhaps but we could sit here making long lists all day and not cover all the great movies from that decade.  

As I look at awards shows, whether it be for music or film, they don’t do it right.
