I can’t speak to the tastes of middle schoolers or Pauline Kael. What I can speak to is my reaction to seeing Jimmy Olsen turned into a CIA agent and murdered in the first 10 minutes of BVS. I can speak to my reaction watching excellent characters like Amanda Waller and Katana turned into wallpaper, and Slipknot given…

I thought recycling the villain from Ghostbusters 2 was an inspired choice, but I respect your opinion.

BVS and Suicide Squad- where you see “ambitious”, many others, myself included, see contempt for the source material and by extension the audience. That perceived contempt is returned in calling them out.

DC: If you don’t stop crying, I’ll GIVE you something to cry about.

I like how how the worst (What-about-ery) brings out the best (you).

Most Unnecessary Funko Pop Model?

The majority of your genetic code came from viruses, so think deeper- like, “Every microorganism that manipulates its host to seek out or touch other members of its species has a radical selective advantage re:vector, to the point that most social phenomena may have began to serve the microbes instead of the hosts-…

Yeah- in that regard, vomiting their semi-digested chunks, or watching those chunks pour out a hole in your torso are comparatively mild side effects.

It’s turns out that Man(‘s simulacra) is the REAL monster.

If Ridley Scott wants to get rid of something in his films, he should start with the Idiot Ball. (That thing is in every scene lately.)

That is a fair distinction.

NO. I’m a gay man, and Capote writing In Cold Blood is in no way comparable to Talese telling Anthony Rapp he should’ve stayed quiet. Capote never negated Smith’s victims the way Talese negated Rapp sharing his narrative of being sexually assaulted as a minor.

It’s...it’s beautiful.

So we aren’t getting Gotham City Sirens, we aren’t getting Booster Gold/BB, but we are getting this?

Damnit Siri, we’ve talked about this!

I moonlight as a Lex Luthor fan, but my true love is Amanda “The Wall” Waller. I say that because I think it’s relevant to this idea- Lex, Amanda, and Bruce are all non-powered geniuses who are concerned with the state of the world. Each of them have concerned themselves with the Blue Boy Scout precisely because he…

Now I haz a Sad too.

I had forgotten- repressed- the Rachael scene. It’s actually worse than I remembered.

The thing I left the theatre most disappointed about was BR2 was an arsenal of unfired Chekhov guns.
