I think that Super is hugely underrated. Gunn (and Rainn Wilson) managed to do what Alan Moore failed at: creating a superhero protagonist who’s genuinely unappealing. (In Moore’s case, I’m referring to Rorschach, who Moore tried to make unappealing but still had his fans because he was scarily competent. Nobody wants…

Also worth noting is that DNF got such bad reviews that a lot of us who liked DN3D back in the day simply ignored it. Duke Nukem was basically Arnold Schwarzenegger when he started to make fun of his macho 80s movie persona, but was still exploiting it at the same time, and so you could have your cake and eat it too;…

(Presumably because “Nobody watches Blu-Rays anymore so we can just shove the deleted scenes back into the movie and people will eat it up version” would have been hard to fit on the poster.)

Morbius is a very useful character in the hopelessly addicting phone game Marvel Puzzle Quest; will nuke special tiles of the enemy that you can’t otherwise match.

The only thing of his that I’ve liked was Extras, and that’s 100% about celebrities being gleefully willing and able to play completely against type. 

Of the calendar year, which is less than half over, no. Of the last 12 months, pretty sure that Spider-Man is still #1. 

She’s got sucky opinions, but I liked Hope just fine in the first two movies. Either Disney is skittish enough about the bullshit in her personal life that they want to get the movie out before she goes full bull-goose looney (although she has plenty of chances to do that before next February), or she’ll do less…

Yep, if “celebrity hires someone to help her with op-ed” is the sharpest arrow in Depp’s quiver, he may as well start deciding which house to sell to pay for this mess. 

“No one will ever figure out how to cancel their internet service! We’ll ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuule the world!”

And, of course, accolades have come in in a serious way for Tom Cruise, who, whatever else you might say about him, has clearly been the passionate heart of the project to boot Top Gun, of all franchises, back up 26 years later.

This ain’t Last Tango in Paris, pally. 

Quick, everyone, drag out your copypasta about how no one really wants an Avatar sequel because no one’s cosplaying Na’Vi or whatever. That never gets old. 

Seriously, how the fuck did Discovery  AOL buy Warner Bros???

I think that he did better with Star Trek than Abrams. As goofy as some of Star Trek Beyond was (the motorcycle stunt, destroying the drone swarm with the Beastie Boys), Lin seemed to have some idea of what the ethos of the series was or should be, rather than, say, trying to pick over the bones of The Wrath of Khan fo…

It’s hard to find anyone as insufferable as the royals, but Tina Brown tries harder. 

Yes to all of this. This 2018 piece on Depp from Rolling Stone makes it very clear that his relationship with Heard was only the latest problem in a long, dysfunctional life.

You searchin’ for me? You searchin’ for me? You searchin’ for me? Then who the hell else are you searching...you searchin’ for me? Well, I’m the only one here. Who the fuck do you think you’re searching for? Oh yeah? OK.

I assume that the double unit is from a Klingon.

WHERE IS HE STRING
