Pretty sure you can show butts even in PG movies, especially if it's in a humorous context.

Would watch the ever-living fuck out of that movie.

I'd totally be here for a Netflix miniseries of Arrival that spends more time on decoding the heptapods' language. I loved every minute of the linguistics' stuff and was kind of sad that they montaged everything between "hey, we've successfully communicated our names to them!" and "now we can basically understand each…

^This. Chris Pratt's character is lonely so he basically kidnaps a woman and forces her to live with him in his spaceship-bunker for the rest of her life, and the movie plays this as romance instead of horror, positioning him as sympathetic and what he did as not really wrong because LOOOOOVE.

No. Missionaries are there to spread their religion. Some of them may care about the people they work with, but it's hardly a job requirement.

I can't tell which comment you're replying to.

You're right! Detailed reviews by people who have seen it are TOTALLY USELESS! I don't know why we even have them! smdh

Except that secular types don't hold that it's better for people to die of AIDS than violate our code of sexual ethics.

But actually, Ignatiy, you're right. I should never have opened my mouth, and my concern deserved exactly the sarcastic response you gave it. I will never criticize a white male filmmaker again, but you should probably go dox me on Twitter to make sure I learn my lesson and leave the internet to the only people who…

I loved Hail, Caesar!

Yes.

Just like I should have sat through the Passion of the Christ to justify being grossed out by torture porn?

Yes, but the author was Japanese.

So, I'm going to trust the review of a movie about Japan written by a person of Japanese descent. I saw nothing in her detailed, thoughtful analysis to indicate she was "confused."

Gosh, you're right!

Makes sense, but doesn't look like the movie got the message. http://www.thedailybeast.co…

Sure, but you could make a movie about missionaries that's, y'know, morally complex and doesn't shy away from the terrible things they did, like how the Jesuits in Japan supported themselves through the slave trade.
