This movie certainly does seem like it could have been a lot more than what it was, but I don’t think it feels incomplete as is. I’ll admit I was taken in by the crazy energy of the trailer and thought this would be a lot more wild than it was, but it was still a very good approach. It reminds me quite a lot of The…

Valley Girl is much better than Fast Times at Ridgemont High or (especially) 16 Candles. Ironically, given the subject matter, it feels way less dated. 

Billy Wilder and Anyone.

I know it is not in anyone’s top ten/fifteen, but just wanted to add The Killer Elite from 1975.  Not really anyo

Yeah, without Robert Downey Jr. about 85 of these characters wouldn't have been launched. 

I didn’t say it was inexplicable, just that it was shit.

Can we get this guy to do the list next time? He actually seems to be paying attention.

Wanda Maximoff being turned into a psychopathic mass-murderer for reasons that could be most charitably described as spurious (if not straight up stupid) in Doctor Strange 2 for these reasons alone really should have dropped her way down the list (if not off it).

Also, for those bitching about Black Panther being #1, you’re forgetting the golden rule of online writing:

None of this works without Iron Man, to the point where the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe was shaped around his worldview, his sense of humor, and his egotism

There’s no evidence that his behavior hasn’t changed, is there? He apologized to the women in 2007 and no one has accused him of similar behavior since then. I work with people getting out of prison. Besides recognizing what they did was wrong and not repeating the behavior, what do we expect of people who have done…

I agree with Rob - in articles like these, the lack of a nuanced moral conversation and the general sense of shaming anyone for not hating Louie is tiresome. I’m a woman and I don’t think what he did was ok by any means. It also seems to me from listening to interviews he’s been in since that he has genuinely learned…

“Ooooh, that’s a bad typo.”

I will watch it. I like his art. I also completely agree with everyone who won’t for whatever reason they provide. This blow to his career is justified. But I still like his art.

Agreed, but the reverse is also true. I have no idea how the film will do, but clearly there’s an audience for his stand-up. Yet certain people (not saying you) seem to advocate for his avenues toward that getting walled off, so he can’t perform even when people clearly want to see him and will pay money.

I had the opposite opinion of the Deer Hunter - the early scenes of overtly second-generation steelworkers getting off work and getting married were incredible, and then there’s a bunch of shit about Vietman. In the second half of the movie Cimino can’t keep track of the timeline - the opening scene seems to be set in…

Attack the Block

C’mon, try a little harder. And I can’t even stomach watching myself...you think I’m going to force someone else to?

I mean he did lie about the allegations for a while.

What really is weird to me about this whole scandal is that CK’s transgressions were both much smaller than those of others outed/processed at the same time (Weinstein, Cosby, Spacey,) he owned up to them immediately, and (unless I missed something) the offenses had all happened during a specific period of time,…
