I’ll admit I’m intrigued by the Charlie Kaufman script, but nothing about the idea itself is very compelling to me. A horror parody of a classic sitcom does not really sound like a fresh idea when the trend of rebooting old popular tv shows — often with radical shifts in tone — has been around for a couple of decades.…

Damon is so old he’s still using PC as a pejorative. I don’t think I’ve heard the phrase “politically correct in at least a decade.

I agree that De Armas— as usual— was great, but I think her stunt double and the second unit team on NTTD deserve a lot of credit too. The entire Cuba sequence was excellent and while all the featured performers come off well, De Armas had the most dynamic, violent action set pieces that both contrasted and supported…

Dave Chappelle is a sacred cow now. The edginess — if one can truly call it that — is not groundbreaking anymore — its comfort food for GenXers. And as somebody in the same age demo who sometimes likes Chappelle’s comfort food humor, I don’t have a problem calling that out. Or calling out the fact that Chappelle is a…

The Eternals dont’ own slaves but they are essentially  overseers.

James Gunn has to do the Afro. Maybe not straight out of the gate, I’m a patient man, but what is the point of giving James Gunn the character Adam Warlock to play with if we don’t eventually see the white (well, golden) man Afro?

I agree that colorism is definitely a problem in Hollywood. But when a black director casts at least 8 prominent and rising black actors in major roles and only one is notably light skinned (and based on the trailers, in a supporting role), I wouldn’t automatically assume colorism is guiding that decision. In fact,…

Perhaps because “xx” is the international symbol for death?

Idk, Warren Oates was hella charming…

It was always in Disney’s best interest to settle this lawsuit quickly but with an IATSE strike highly possible — and streaming revenues being one of the major areas of contention — it became an absolute necessity. Regardless, both above and below the line cast and crew will want their share of the streaming dollars.

Venom’s always been a campy, over the top character, a delirious mash up of Jekyl & Hyde, Freddy Kruger, a xenomorph and Spider-Man. He’s got one tone (like DC’s Lobo): EXTREME! The title of comics arc that this movie sequel is based upon was MAXIMUM CARNAGE. I don’t think it was necessary to double down on every…

I generally love Jeffrey Wright and understand that The Watcher is a frustrating character by design but I think the MCU has gone a little too far in trying to fit him into their basic relatable, comedic character model. There are times Uatu sounds whiny and the repeated use of double takes for humor have gone from…

I guess this is Ramsey’s side gig when she is not working with Dom Toretto. This also makes me think that someone should form a cinematic universe populated by crews that pull off elaborate jobs — a “Crew-niverse”.

I noticed this 3 or 4 weeks ago, so either it has been going on at least that long or has been gradually spreading like a virus over the entirety of Kinja. This is so bizarre and I could easily believe someone at GMG is doing this on purpose or the site is under some ongoing hacker attack. I understand when you don’t…

Eh, I think Ditko was more of a true believer on that.

Ditko was a mix of extreme objectivism and reactionary thinking, but Stan Lee was just as overt in his hostility to communism and Marxism.

the Universal Pictures film has brought on an all-LGBTQ+ principal cast. It’s almost shocking none of these things have ever been achieved in any major studio film,

Yes, I’m sure that if AOC runs for Schumer’s seat she will be branded anti-Israel, and a lot of other things, no matter how she votes. It would be much worse if she gives the party mainstream and New York media easy ammunition like a no vote on what is essentially a symbolic ( though still important) vote. It sounds…

I’d like to see a little more emphasis on characterization in the (I hope) next iteration of this experiment. Don’t get me wrong, I very much enjoyed Star Wars Visions and believed it showed the great potential of an anime approach to the franchise both aesthetically and thematically (not that there was ever any real …

Nobody mentions Charlize Theron in Atomic Blonde, which was a very good female Bond homage, and better than most of the actual James Bond films imo.
