Honestly that would potentially be for the best. I loved Super but thought GOTG was boring (though I didn’t see the second one). I’m not sure we need to waste more genuinely talented, creative directors on these soulless “franchise” films to begin with.

That said, I’d completely support Gunn’s rehiring to the third…

In all honesty, he probably just didn’t notice the swastikas when he posted it. Of course, this still doesn’t speak well of him as it makes him incredibly unobservant.

Oh hey, another New York person. Yeah, I’ve used mine largely for smaller theaters like those or IFC Center, Metrograph, etc. It’s been great for smaller budget films and for screenings of old classics (seeing The Shining and Fistful of Dollars for free? Hell yeah). Not seeing Mission Impossible opening weekend isn’t…

It’s almost like Hardwick being in the news causes tons of people to constantly harass her to say something and she has to provide brief statements just to keep that at bay or something.

“Maybe they could have beaten him in a primary. Maybe. If he were to have won a brutal primary (which you have to acknowledge is always the most likely outcome),”

No, not really, and the results of the primary as they stand show how extremely likely it actually is that he would have lost against a real contender.…

You’re acting like their hands were tied. They could have simply allowed an actual primary to run its course (you know, actually respecting the democratic process) or better yet, actively worked to encourage and promote another candidate, and put pressure on Menendez to drop out. I’m not sure you realize how unpopular…

Yes, good guys like Menendez definitely get accused of using underage prostitutes all the time.

That’s not accurate at all, sorry. The Democratic Party of NJ actively pushed out all the credible candidates. Lisa McCormick only jumped in in late April, mere weeks before the primary was to take place, and raised no money at all; she was there in the first place only because more credible candidates had been pushed…

Indeed, there were others that dropped out because the party pressured them to exit. All that was left was McCormick, who actually jumped in last minute after the others had been pushed out.

The party actively drove out other candidates from the primary; that’s why the small business owner lady who was most famous for running a community paper did as well as she did. In fact, considering how well she did it’s reasonably likely a real candidate would have beaten him. It’s one thing to say that after the…

Maybe three years ago I would have agreed, but now the most popular politician in America is a democratic socialist and mainstream sites like the AV Club are posting articles like this approving of a self-described communist (who has a hit, well-received film out). I feel like things are shifting a lot faster than I…

Great article despite it being written by Brendan, that traitor to Chapo

Swiss Army Man was amazing. At least pick Spring Breakers or something for bashing, AV Club, yeesh.

As others have said, even releasing those films is commendable and important. A lot of films don’t get distributors at all, and a lot of films don’t get completed because they can’t find a distributor. So even if A24 isn’t actively producing a lot of them, they are still enabling their creation and allowing them to be…

Man the efforts to bring Donald Trump into every comments section are getting pretty strained at this point

When he initially tweeted his “give me some time” statement I honestly sympathized. I don’t know what my immediate reaction would be if I found out a friend had been accused of something like that. At the same time, I thought he was going to take a few days to say something, not months!

So does this mean Wil Wheaton will finally stop being a coward and say literally -anything- about this? 

I’m genuinely surprised you hadn’t heard that phrase until this year, actually. Pretty common phrase I’ve heard for forever. Same with throwing under the bus.

Yeah, and it gets worse when you consider that Cernovich is an ACTUAL (yes, “alleged,” but who are we kidding) rapist, and not just someone who did a comedy sketch one time. You’d think he’d be a prime Jezebel target, and yet they don’t even mention him. I’m inclined to believe it’s more laziness than actively pushing…

1) I didn’t say they were or weren’t. I personally don’t think they are but I also recognize that if some Scottish person really is bothered by Groundskeeper Willie say, or an Italian by Luigi, or what have you, that I’m not specifically in a place to tell them they shouldn’t be. But you did go out of your way to…
