Okay, so, my question is genuine and if this response bores you then don’t feel the need to engage.

But:

Cat fancying makes sense if you like cats. You can own a cat with (relatively) little effort and find a lot of framework that enabled that, or you can have and empathetic connection from a cat by watching a cat…

I also give Lucca more of a pass because I really, really, really liked it.

But more generally all of these films looking kinda samey doesn’t mean that they are good or bada s movies - some are great, some are awful, one was the bafflingly overhyped Encanto - but they’re films. They are have their own quality. But…

“Doreen Green has always been a fun superhero, but recent comics like Unbeatable Squirrel Girl have really amplified exactly what she’s capable”

I read through all the pre-Ubeatable Squirrel Girl comics recently, and the phrasing of this is just silly. Outside of her fun first appearance at the back of an Iron-man…

Okay then perhaps you can answer this: why does any of this matter to strangers who don’t personally know these people?

When did all 3D animated movies achieve a sort of singularity of style, texture, and design? Outside of Into The Spider-verse, it’s a real problem that I cannot visually distinguish a Pixar movie from a Disney movie from a Sony Pictures movie from a... I was going to say Blue Sky Studios movie but it turns out they’re…

So I’ve had access to a PS4 for many years (briefly borrowed it from a friend, ended up in a Pandemic with no way to give it back), but I have only recently spend the money to have a monitor I coulda actually attach it to, and so I’ve started playing games again - games that I was never able to play with a big,…

Because everyone still shows up to buy Pokémon no matter how big a fucking mess it is.

So no one wants to hold them accountable.

“there’s no denying the thrill [of seeing] an epic battle between every character you grew up loving”

Yeah, there is. Because it’s grotesque. Watching the Iron Giant in a huge punch-’em up sucks shit, he deserves so much better. It’s The Uliamte Showdown of Ultimate Destiny without the early-aughts irony, catchy tune,…

A creepy, seemingly sentient turd makes a big mess for two hours and is inexplicably described as lovable.

You have missed nothing.

I first sw that movie about four years ago and fucking despised it. Watching three shitty 70s misogynists jerk themselves off on a boat is a tedious way to spend any amount of time.

Genuinely baffled you see something likeable in that movie. Maybe it’s a ‘had to see it as a kid’ sort of thing, because as an adult over…

  Fuck every single game dev personally for putting this behind next-gen upgrades, you pieces of fucking shit.

Oh, no doubt he was a creep too - male actors of that period seem to mostly have been, and the casual way he still thinks its a lark speaks a lot to that - but it doesn’t come across (to me) in the movie the way Connery’s grossness always seems front and centred in his performance. Or contra that: Roger Moore’s Bond’s …

Fuck, I totally forgot about that scene, but now it’s vivid in my mind because of how tonally weird it felt in the context of the movie, like one of the Brocollis showed up one day with a new scene just to hit some quota for women hate.

I still stand by him being the least-creepy Bond of the pre-modern period, though.…

Cicero deserved better than this.

Yeah I wasn’t joking.On Her Majesty’s Secret Service is the only Bond movie that isn’t weighed down by unbearable levels of douchebaggery on Bond’s part. Connery’s Bond is an open misogynist, Brosnan and Moore are all smarm, and Dalton’s Bond is utterly charmless and frequently feels like he wandered-in off the set of…

I men that feels a lot like a ‘down with capitalism’ sort of thing. Not to get all Marxist, but you’re describing a scenario wherein a media franchise has become entirely about exchange value and whose use value can be literally zero and yet it still functions as a commodity.

Which is fucked up.

That's good. He is in the best Bond movie until the Craig years.

Best solution: nobody likes fucking slideshows stop making them.

Yeah, because that was a different underwhelming movie.

I hope it’s better than that Shin Godzilla movie that everyone praised despite the fact that under it’s ‘old people need to let young people have a chance to make decisions’ veneer of modernism was a conservative, reactionary movie with an uncomfortable military bent.
