I saw it (via streaming) and liked it a lot. It’s a pretty clever idea and genuinely really funny, with some good gore scenes. Not a four star masterpiece, but I had a good time with it and would have absolutely gone to the theater to see it if there had been a real release.

Wow, it’s almost like this kind of treatment of VAs is endemic in the industry and she has recurring reason to complain.

Cards on the table that I don’t really care about Justice League or superhero movies, and don’t really care for Snyder as a director either (aside from the Dawn of the Dead remake which is pretty dope, basically the good, genuinely fun version of a “dumb guy” version of the original). But I’m sorry, this story…

This is a wild guess, but DiMaggio and Odenkirk are probably acquainted otherwise. Bob did voice spots on Futurama a few times, and his brother Bill wrote a bunch of episodes.

But also, if you’re doing a show and the voice of Bender calls you up to ask if you can give him a small role....you give it to him. You want…

He’s not saying it’s harmless. It’s just a fact that more people are getting it from going to work than from any other situation (I guess I’d throw school in there too). Sure we can argue over whether an event like this should go on, and maybe it shouldn’t, but the reality is that someone going to work every single…

“There are many people who will not be fine, either because they can’t get vaccinated or because they are in high-risk groups.”

Okay, I’m sorry, but I have to quibble with this. Qualifying this by saying I’m sure there are some extremely rare exceptions that just aren’t coming up in literally any of the research I’ve…

I’m 5'6", happily married so I don’t speak with bitterness (at least not too much), but I have to say when I was still dating I never successfully went out with anyone taller than me that I can remember. It wasn’t a lack of willingness; taller women were just not interested. I messaged any number of them on online…

Yeah, the joke was always that they’re basically just slightly sleazy exterminators but they end up accidentally having to save the world. And Murray is the sleaziest one but ends up being kind of the primary “hero” of the film. They talk on the commentary about it was an intentional joke to have him be the one guy at…

God I’ve had so many stupid arguments about this lol. Ghostbusters is one of my favorite movies but there is a remarkably large contingent of its fanbase that apparently has never understood that it’s supposed to be funny and that the “mythology” in it is purposefully stupid and ridiculous because that’s the damn…

I don’t remember the characters too well to be honest, but yeah, seems like the original show actually had really interesting and progressive portrayals of its adult characters that the new show seems to be going back on in a way.

“But let’s be real: Betty was gay as fuck—and now that’s actually canon. Betty will be an openly gay woman in the Paramount+ Rugrats series, and she’ll be voiced by queer actor Natalie Morales”

The actual change to the character is whatever - representation is good, points people make in other comments that they…

Yeah, I specified that in my comment. Also, I’m too new of a fan to be that hardcore but the sense I get is that most Trekkers don’t really care as much for the newer stuff as they do the old anyway lol.

Yes, I’m sure the guy who has played footsie with anti-vaxxers for years, and recently voiced doubts about the COVID vaccines, really did get the vaccine and can be trusted on his word about it.

Like, okay, it’s not impossible that he still contracted it after being vaccinated but....come on. How is every outlet so…

Eh his guests are generally pretty shit too.

Thing is, even Star Trek is largely available on the other major services (for now....I realize that could change once those contracts expire, if Viacom decides it wants to make them exclusive to its platform). Obviously the newest shows aren’t, and a few of the movies have migrated off Prime/Netflix/Hulu, but all the…

There’s no way most of the writers on this site nowadays have even seen any of his films. They’re not film literate.

Honestly, after 20 years of the “war on terror” and everything else that “never forget” has wrought, 9/11 memorial rallies should also probably be banned.

“Start slideshow” yeah lol no

To be honest with you I would probably label Saving Private Ryan as a right-wing movie. I like Spielberg and I even think it’s a pretty good movie, but it ends with the damn American flag. It’s long been analyzed in that light, particularly given that it came out in the late 90s when there was sort of an ambivalence…

(Sorry this is late, I disappear here for a while and then catch-up sometimes) For what it’s worth, I love a lot of action movies lol. I think that’s one of the reasons I’m attuned to it in the way I am. I watched Commando actually a few weeks ago and it is definitely deeply problematic and troubling in its politics,…
