I left a party in my building recently because after half an hour of bullshit discussions with a dude 8 years my junior about pop culture and representation, (Fury Road, Aliens, and the new Ghostbusters were all mentioned) he told me that according to all his professors and publishers, women don’t read fantasy or…

Was thinking not only this but also - how many films has he starred in where he is a Dad, not just a biological father, but plays the role of a dad? War of the Worlds is the only one I can think of off the top of my head. It’s like he can’t even concede that much of a hit to his vanity even though he’s actually…

“And might I also urge us all to remember that time James Comey played one of the most important roles in completely fucking up the 2016 presidential election. That’s not hot and neither is James Comey.”

that was the joke.

Ok, well, to be straight - I did not mean to spoil the film. I do sincerely apologize for that. I’ve seen it twice - and I’m NOT saying that as an argument against people who haven’t seen it at all, I’m only stating this because that’s how freaking excited I was to see it, and am STILL excited to talk about it which…

There is a scene in WW where you *might* change your mind, or at least reconsider for a hot beat. I’m fairly certain it was a pivotal moment for the Pine vote.

Yes, I’m already being pilloried. At least you just pointed it out with some chill instead of calling me an outright asshole or given me a full blown lecture on it.

Sorry, but I have absolutely no sympathy or patience for the people who didn’t want to see a Wonder Woman film after 126 superhero films with male leads because of Zach Snyder’s Murderverse bullshit. I will state - I did not mean to spoiler the film, it was an honest mistake but, the fact is, if people are going to…

Ok, if I’m afraid of spoilers then I generally go out of my way not to delve deep into a discussion board regarding a movie that’s already premiered but I guess I’m just a smart enough asshole to know better. For the record, it was a simple slip - I wasn’t trying to troll everyone with a spoiler, and my point was that…

Um, hi. Except that we all knew Evans’ character would never really die. They didn’t even let him really be dead for more than a minute in movie time. Though it did suck for Peggy.

Oh good lord. The movie has been out for nearly a week and everyone has been talking about plot points and who the bad guy is and the twist and other characters’ longevity or lack there of in the comments sections of everywhere and if you think that one plot reveal about an arguably supporting character spoils Wonder…

Yeah, my husband said he wished she didn’t have a love interest because it diminished her somewhat and I was like, “Um, what?” as I was still thinking about the part when he leads her to the hotel room, starts to take his leave, looks at her, gets a meaningful look in reply, and then closes the door slowly, almost…

I would more accurately say that Chris Evans’ shoulder to waist ratio is the Top Chris, but Pine really sold me as the Top Steve Who Flies A Weaponized Plane Away On A Suicide Mission. Also, please tell me your alias is due to the one and only CJ Cregg!?

Great points; piggy backing off of this - another scene that struck me early on in the film was simply the scene of Antiope and Hippolyta discussing Diana’s need for training. It was a really small, no big deal scene in the grand scheme of things yet it was so amazing to see these two women, in their 50s, a Queen and…

Before this film I actually had some of my male comic friends express disappointment in me that I’d go see anything connected to Snyder’s “Murderverse” and I just nearly had an aneurism trying to explain why I couldn’t fucking afford to boycott a Wonder Woman movie even if Uwe Boll directed it. And at the second…

I hear you, but then everyone would be like, “they stole that from Return of the King!” - which was, indeed, the scene I was most looking forward to when the Lord of the Rings movies started coming out. I’m personally glad they just called it, “No Man’s Land” in the film and didn’t go further with it - it was nuanced…

Cheers!

I keep comparing the No Man’s Land/debut of Wonder Woman scene to the notion that an actual freaking unicorn jumped out of the screen, said to the women of the audience, “Ladies, this one’s for you.” and that’s pretty much why we all cried during that scene. When she starts swinging the Lasso and her theme music kicks…

You know what? GOOD. FOX NEWS DOES NOT DESERVE WONDER WOMAN. I’m actually a hundred percent ok that they just willfully refuse to acknowledge her awesomeness and choosing to keep with their brand by actively ignoring how her story has actually always been an immigrant story, same as Supes.

After the “No man’s land” battle, when things had quieted down, you could hear, all throughout the theater I was at, the sounds of women sniffling, having literally sobbed quietly and joyously during the action parts. My husband thought someone was hyperventilating behind him when I’m pretty sure he was just hearing…
