I think it’s a lot of him having grimy ass hair and being a long-faced boy.

If Jane-Luc speaks, you must. make. it. so.

lol, it is that for sure. I’m pretty sure it was Saw and Final Destination that kicked off the low brow horror craze in the 00's, wasn’t it?

The trailers have Rock chained up similar to Cary Elwes in the first film, with the saw, so I imagine that is pretty late in the film. There’s also clips of SLJ getting abducted, so I think it will be safe to assume his character doesn’t have a pretty end.

They draw a comparison to Seven, which makes me realize for the first time that Saw is just the franchisable version of Seven this whole time!

Are you self-aware enough to have intentionally complained about tokenism and “woke-ening” as well as Yi using buzzwords? Because that is exactly what you did.

For sure. And if someone has power over you and is saying they’re advocating to defend you and yours, you have to ask what do they get out of the solution they’re offering?

The feeling I got from the trailer was a revenge thriller with a light touch of the dark satire of Four Lions- ie. very empathetic yet a little silly personalities dealing with really dark material.

... Does Barsanti not understand metaphors? The film was literally all about knives. The chair; metaphorically, how everybody was looking for their cut of the estate; the climax, with the prop knife; Harlan’s death. The film is pretty obvious with how knives connect to Harlan, his estate, and how an object (like a…

It’s more that I abhor Millar’s writing style. He has interesting story arcs, for the most part, and I can enjoy his characters and settings conceptually. But the dialogue in Wanted or his runs in the 1610 universe is just the worst. He’s a lot like Garth Ennis in that way- excluding Preacher, Ennis is insufferable in…

This looks fucking RAD.

It’s more difficult nowadays, just due to the fact that corporations will collectively spend exorbitant amounts of money to preserve marginal profit that would otherwise greatly help out the worker. Grassroot union campaigns are about convincing the worker that the pitch from the particular union would be effective in…

They absolutely did this shit- they did the conventionial tactic and hired a union-busting lawyer firm to figure out their gameplay; they even figured out the ways they can disrupt any chance of discussing union efforts amongst employees, like structuring workplace habits to reduce communication- they even had the…

My knowledge of John Mayer started and ended with John Mayer Trio’s album Try! and it’s a really weird read to catch up with the guy that John Mayer has since turned out to be- a totally gross weirdo.

Fucking TERRIBLE. It’s the worst trade I’ve bought to date.

Yeah, you very well might be right about that- which is weird, I do like what I’ve read from Loeb (Batman: Hush in particular comes to mind).

Lol, well it certainly remains to be seen- I’ll definitely try reading Millar if there’s something recommended. My local library has great access to digital comics, so it’s not like I’ll risk money on it.

Oh, FUCK YES. I’d challenge that Wilmore is the best talent from the Daily Show Correspondents pool (at the very least post-Colbert leaving) and it’s criminal that he doesn’t have his series going into the sixth or seventh season now.

Not recognizing social cues isn’t the same as not caring when you do, or only seeing them in the context of how it affects you.

I ought to watch it again. I left the film back in my impressionable early 20s, when I didn’t understand the film went deeper than the Tyler Durden messaging, and I think it might be more interesting another time, now that I can more appreciate David Fincher’s skepticism towards the film’s internal propaganda that I…
