Yeah, I loved The Disaster Artist, but my least favorite aspect was how Greg was depicted. In the book, Greg is depicted as very reluctant to help Tommy in his clearly mad scheme. In the movie, he’s a very dumb cheerleader.

This is the internet. People must either love or hate something fully and without reservation, particularly when it comes to popular culture and media. The less information or nuance they have on the subject, the better.

All I can say is, Tommy acting like something that’s not human is part of what makes his awful, awful movie appeal to so many. It’s predominantly the thing that makes him a hilariously mockable, yet simultaneously oddly sympathetic figure in The Disaster Artist film, but especially the book (I really love the book).…

I liked it a lot myself, but the secret is to skip the side quests. 

Thing is, that very fact is part of what makes The Room, and Tommy Wiseau such an interesting figure. It’s fun to watch him smash a semi-truck through the kitchen wall, and then try to figure out where along the way he thought he was making a 5 star dish.

Why should Tommy be forced to indulge anything about his personal life? Growing up surrounded by American media, as well as the internet age, where we can wikipedia and google anything we’re curious about on the slightest whim, we’re not used to having information denied to us, and we’re not used to allowing public…

Yep. It’s funny how so many use the word “woke” to refer to being totally enlightened. However, they don’t realize they’re using it as a term of superiority, and just as often use their “woke” status as an excuse to utterly terrible jerks to people they don’t approve of. People like that haven’t transcended or risen…

Yeah, the AI being used as slaves reminded me a lot of the White Christmas episode. I kinda wished they would have gone in a different direction with it. I think it would have been more compelling if the AI Captain Todd uploaded to his game didn’t really have any sentience, they just did what he told them to do, to…

See, one of the many reasons I was disappointed in The Last Jedi was that it didn’t really delve into philosophy about the Force enough. I was expecting it to be KOTOR II like going in, with some real discussion about the nature of the light and dark side, but instead... it was basically Luke going, “The Jedi sucked…

And replace them with utterly boring ones, apparently

Honestly, I just think it’s annoying that Luke was an utter failure in building a Jedi  order, and it will be left to Rey. Though I suppose Luke could still be counted as its founder, even if his training of Rey, from what we see on screen, was pretty inadequate. 

Rey is annoyingly successful in everything she does, but at least she gets beat up a lot. Really, my main criticism for Rey is not for being a Mary Sue, but for being a very bland, thinly written character. Daisy Ridley is charming and does what she can, but the writing for Rey (or for the other new characters aside…

I hate the overuse of the word “Mary Sue” so much. Like “Deus ex machina”, it’s one of those literary terms that has hit the mainstream, and has led to its constant overuse and misuse

Yeah, I’m getting a huge Mass Effect 3 ending vibe...

The problem is, people do go into a Star Wars movie with certain expectations, even if they are vague ones. We want to see a lightsaber battle. We want to see a movie centered around Luke Skywalker not depict one of the most iconic characters in all of fiction as a total coward and failure, and undo all the character…

With a boom tube?

Yeah, I know Jezebel is pretty much bottom rock when it comes to “research” or any of those other pesky journalistic things, but that’s totally wrong. Critics, generally, liked it. Mass audiences and social media hated it. 

I would love for them to do a season or movie of The Punisher in the “Marvel movie” style. Lots of quips and a lighthearted tone... except it just happens to be ultra R-rated violent. Somewhat like Deadpool, I suppose. 

I disagree. I think whenever the Punisher’s not on screen, all the other characters need to be saying, “where’s the Punisher?”

In my head, the CIA dude wasn’t Jimmy Olsen, but just a guy using Jimmy Olsen’s credentials. Makes it less horrible
