Was always a thing with male-female pairings too.

I’ve gone on about this before so I won’t go TOO in the weeds here, but Lawrence’s popularity rise in mass media is another example of the white woman we vaunt and idolize only to publicly and gleefully tear her down. Lawrence was often pitted against Anne Hathaway- Hathaway was once considered quirky, but not in the…

I’ve never seen The Good Place

Thing is, I liked The Last Jedi and thought this leaked script looked awful.

Counterpoint; The Powerpuff Girls are slapstick cartoon characters who are partially defined by being chirpy, cutsey 5 year olds, it’s a bit like doing a Bugs Bunny live action reboot where he gets graphically killed and eaten by Elmer Fudd because “when you think about it, that’s more like what might really happen”.

Also, they should just have Patrick Warburton do it.

I have the same problem with scoring in Tennis. Be consistent!

Are we being fun-hating downers who are overthinking something...?

“Are we being fun-hating downers who are overthinking something that everyone will recognize is obviously a joke?”

I think it’s terrible in a fundamental filmmaking way, but there’s such a innate charm in how off the wall it is and goes about its business that it can definitely get behind your defenses as a viewer regardless and become watchable, even fun. I think of a Roger Ebert quote (regarding Basic Instinct 2):

Oh man, you didn’t check in to see how this insane stretch of a nothing-burger was getting roasted over at The Root? Cause it’s getting no traction there, and it feels like their readership should know.

It sounds like his full-time job was taking other people’s work and selling it for his own profit.  This wasn’t even a case of operating an archive to access materials no longer in print. As the screenshot shows, the most popular roms and downloads on the page were mostly same-year releases.

Yes, the time frame isn’t hammered home, but it’s contemporary: there are smart phones. There is also a side story about dreamers. FWIW, $96k is still a damn big deal to most people.

He’s in the show. It says so in the review. Weirdo. 

What a great interview

The first time I saw Jolie, I thought, “Firefighter”.

To be fair, McMurray’s a piece of shit. 

maybe “inconsequential” wasn’t the right word; i meant that more along the lines of how Alexi seems to have done quite a bit to move on and grow as a person, since those tweets so many years ago (so it’s not much of an indicator of who she is now). the thing itself isn’t inconsequential, but it’s not really useful for…

although she was “guilty as accused”, the situation around Alexi McCammond (almost Teen Vogue editor) was also pretty crappy, and really highlighted how some people would not accept anything but absolute perfection.

saw it at tiff, loved it. i weep for the inevitable remake that, i dunno, reunites the cast of old school or something.
