He wasn’t! That’s very true. However he also wasn’t giving the key note speech at a symposium concerning the state of high school comedies. He was largely humble bragging during a softball interview with People Magazine, mentioning an anecdotal story about one 19 year old and offering a tongue-in-cheek remark. We…

Legitimately shocked this lazy premise of an article doesn’t even bother to compare Hawkeye with Green Arrow

There’s an age thing happening here where people Seth’s age (me) remember when comedies were huge box office successes, and Superbad probably is the last HS movie to fit that description. A movie like Book Smart can be great, but it made $25MM at the box office, so to us olds might as well have left no cultural…

Old School was pretty bad though. After the first half hour, it’s pretty rough. And that is a *hard* F-bomb up front

Tragically, there is a dearth of comedies centering around Trigonometry class

They drank from that well a lot

The characters were pretty good, but I don’t know if I’ll ever go back to enjoying multicam sitcoms, and at least 75% of the shows were the “Guy has to be with two different people at the same time without them knowing” premise. It was formulaic as hell, but at the same time pretty well made formulaic. That said, if…

Watch me!

Counterpoint: Maybe it was absolute dogshit. It’s obvious by not finishing and releasing the movie the studio thought it was not going to make enough money to justify the money already down the drain, so one would infer they saw it and thought it was bad. I’m fine with it.

Lucky and Luanne didn’t make it past the  Delta variant 

You know what the MCU had going for it when it launched? There had been no Iron Man movies. Or Thor. Or Captain America. Or Doctor Strange. Or Guardians of the Galaxy. It was, with the exception of the Hulk and Spider-Man movies, relatively fresh and largely unexplored.

“look for more moves like we saw with Loki, where a popular cinematic supporting player is elevated to TV star to build anticipation for storylines fueling entire big-screen phases.”

Also, I remember watching Dumbo and thinking damn, those grown up elephants are roasting the absolute shit out of that baby. They go in so hard right out of the gate.

Would appreciate it if Disney would stop telling my daughter that you can talk to your dead loved ones if you care enough.

Is Chris Pratt available?

We’re on the same page

I read a lot of valid and baseless criticism about the movie. There were a lot of complaints about the swerving on things teased in Ep 7 at the time, while defenders said they appreciated the way expectations were subverted.

Mmm, there are a ton of movies, shows and books that do better than 50-50. What sucks is that a lot of the valid criticism was drowned out by a bunch of culture war brain-rot about WOKENESS. In my opinion, this wasn’t the forum to deconstruct Star Wars, in the middle of a planned trilogy. It wasn’t a James Bond which…

I think a lot of people go into these discussions looking to convince people of why their instincts are correct, but that’s definitely not what I’m doing here. In this case I am literally just asking questions. Not in the obnoxious “I’m just asking questions (so I can put wild shit out there and muddy up be…

Thanks
