I love Miles and I’ve enjoyed most of the comics I’ve read with him (mostly Bendis trades) His comics may be uneven but whose aren’t?

Couldn’t the same be said of Miles Morales? Spider verse worked out pretty well. In a world with a dozenish Batman films, I think there’s room for something a bit different. As always, the cast and creative team will be the deciding factor. No reason they can’t make something cool.

What I think Hamill does that none of the others do, is that he makes the massive laughs feel genuine. He’s deeply amused and utterly mad and he just happens to laugh loudly because he doesn’t give a fuck. All the others feel like they’re purposely laughing to intimidate people. That’s nowhere near as scary to me as…

Without being too pretentious (too late) I think it’s like the comedy version of the Wire or Shakespeare. You don’t have to understand it all, after a while the delivery and context clues get you over any slang you've not understood. 

It’s not my favourite ever, but I’m glad to see DC do something different. Almost all their main line books just use a generic, Jim Lee influenced superhero style that could be from any book in the last 30 years. Even when there is interesting art, the inking and horrible digital colouring blandify it all back again.…

It’s brilliant. Shame the AVClub haven’t done a piece on it.

Moon Girl is a goofy comic aimed at the kinda 8-12 female demo with a cartoony art style. A great“my first comic” for younger girls. Moon Girl is a kinda quiet tween genius Peter Parker type who’s worried about getting grounded or embarrassing herself in school.

1. “Better dead than poor” is a bold take.

Apologies if that read as a rejection of you as a human being, it wasn’t meant to. However, your original post is still a vitriolic rant and it didn’t suggest you’re open to discussion.

Fair point. Though with both the Empire and the First Order we know fuck all about them. I couldn't tell you either of their ideological, racial, economic ideals. So we've no idea how similar they are beyond evil and dictatorial. 

I’m a Duplass defender but your level of anger at them suggests there’s not much point arguing with you. When you are so begrudging you won’t even accept that they’re indie filmmakers, why bother? Your post is filled with empty conjecture and clearly inaccurate stuff about their connections and career. I’d be happy to…

“stupid enough to embrace socialism. But then I found you”

Agreed. Her new sitcom with Sharon Horgan ‘This Way Up’is brilliant.

The combat looks fun enough but it’s constantly interrupted by cutscenes and qucik time events. It’s 2019, QTE “press x not to die” has been a common thing since Shenmue* and I’ve never met anyone who likes them.

Exactly. One of the problems with film talk is that it tends to be didactic. Either a review which needs to build a simple clear message on quality with a star rating, or one of those “why this is a masterpiece” takes.

Thanks for your honesty. Postpartum is rough. Cliche alert - It’ll get better. And annoying babies soon turn into (still annoying) but fun and rewarding kids.

Why is this acting like negative side effects of strikes are a shocking revelation? Every strike, boycott or industrial action will have woke negative impact on innocent people. If they weren’t causing problems, then they wouldn’t be effective. But refusing to work is one of the most powerful weapons people have.

I think most people will raise an eyebrow but move on if someone says they believe in ghosts or briefly saw one years ago after their aunt died.

I love when people pretend basic human abilities are superpowers.

Agree 100%. Word has it that Hardy initial take on the amcharacter was much more damaged and alcoholic or ptsd or something. The studio removed all the dark shit so he just seems to start the film like a twitchy, educationally sub normal, Charlie Day mess, but the movie insists on telling us he’s a super smart and…
