Nah man, Namor has to be ripped and Godlike. It’s part of the arrogance.

I wouldn’t say Beaty and the beast (160m) or Jungle Book (175m) were made on the cheap. They also make a phenomenal amount of money for how little cultural impact or shelf life they seem to have. 

I love Elba, but the dude’s 46 now. He’d be 50 by the time they make another Bond. Spy films are in a very physical and stunt heavy Bourne/ MI mode these days. They had to pay Craig an obscene amount of money to come back because he knew physically the film would fuck him up. And it has.

It’s sad to me how much goodwill the HIMYM finale burned for most people, because it's such a great show. I guess I'm weird in that I'm able to ignore the ending and just enjoy the old eps. I can't think of any other network sitcom (bar community) that was so structurally ambitious in almost every episode. Those…

The digital tech has become so good now that the differences are largely in texture, ie some people prefer analogue film grain. There are digital grain post solutions but to the highly trained eye, the differences are noticeable. There’s a nostalgia factor to it. Spielberg says the texture of moving film grain makes a…

It's derivative of their copyright and is basically a more detailed version of the character as he appears in the 3d games, so I don't see why they'd license it. And as Gray Man points out, they almost certainly have prototype versions that basically look right anyway. 

What plot holes does Willems complain about? He’s not pointing out perceived logic errors, he’s pouting out lapses in character development and emotional storytelling. There’s a world of difference between “How does Bruce Wayne get back from the pit to Gotham???” type criticism and “How are we meant to care about…

Hold on, they’re removing the crows from Dumbo? Won’t that leave the story making no sense? The movies super short as is. And they’ll lose the best song.

I’m not sure where the outrage would come from. Us liberals tend to love all in the family because it's clear that Archie is a moron and the jokes on him. If Tucker Carl's on and those dickheads can say that shit unironically I'd say there's room for someone to say it while being mocked. 

It doesn’t matter if it was highly rated and popular, the deal they had with Disney meant it was stupidly expensive. The deal was complicated, but essentially it had to perform twice as well as a self produced show of the same budget level to be worthwhile.

Occasionally I’m in an argument with someone, particularly online and i realise I just can’t explain empathy to people.

You have to deal with the fact that she's not there to film new episodes, maybe it's easier to just cut her out at the start rather than try and cut her out halfway through. 

The toxic masculinity isn’t accidental. All of Preacher is about Ennis balancing the romance ideal of an idea versus the reality. War, Cowboys, America, Ireland’s struggle for independence, etc. We see his clear love for these topics as we are shown how corrupt, venal and gross they were in reality.

There’s a difference between hosting shit and promoting shit. It’s algorithm is designed to maximise engagement, so turning people into paranoid youtube lunatics is a valid goal. If it keeps reccommending shit to everyone, many’ll start to believe at least some of the shit.

It’s the other way round. American shows change showrunners all the time, British shows rarely do

You’re ascribing a lot of negative energy to this. My mates and I are lifelong marvel fans so twice a year if we can, a bunch of us do a midnight screening. Sure I could wait to Monday but there’s a simple pleasure to seeing a new release with a bunch of buzzing eager fanboys.

Uncool opinion; the first one is great and the second is very watchable. Brilliant actors, funny jokes and a smidgen of pathos. It helps that they coincided with me becoming a parent, but I reckon this item is needlessly harsh on them. 

By Smiths own admission, that sort of episodic tv kinda directs itself. He says his biggest contributions are in storytelling efficiency. So he’ll say “we don’t need 2 scenes, fold that line from the first into the top of the next scene and then just shoot that one.” Although he's popular with actors for his on set…

I truly loved the Grinder but it was the epitome of Morales having nothing to do but eyeroll. Possibly the only big flaw in an otherwise great show.

Because Arrival and Hidden Figures are new properies and both relatively “highbrow”. Ghostbusters (and Wonder Woman, Captain Marvel, etc) are existing things traditionally “for men” that have been “taken over” by women. That's what makes the man babies angry.
