“I am simply one of the many (many) people whom thought Cavill embodied the role and was cast out unfairly.”

SO!?!? This is not at all relevant. I think it sucks that Christopher Reeve was in an equestrian accident, but that wouldn’t change someone else’s decision about who to cast in a Superman movie in 2023.

Or, perhaps... a poopy korma!

*Puts on shades*

*Waits a beat for Roger Daltrey needle drop.*

*Thinks maybe that was more of a ‘Briscoe.’*

THIS. And you know what isn’t going to change that one bit? A bunch of guys on the Internet whose sole qualification to evaluate her work is their annual struggle to write a moving card inscription for their Mother’s Day card.

Maybe.

Maybe I’m inventing figures of speech. Or maybe you’re just not that bright, and I was expressing the exact opposite of “loud and clear.”

Who can say for certain?!?!

This is an excellent point because it gets glossed over, justly, because of all of the general shit sandwich of it all:

Somehow Palpatine returned. Somehow he had a massive fleet, fully staffed and provisioned for generations, hiding in the fucking Zero Nebula or some shit. And all of it got hand-waved into a bit of…

“But the next hurdle is actually putting one of these movies in front of a camera.”

PIRATES! PIRATES!

I suspect it would have been much like The Flash, but with a much stronger opening weekend. Mostly different flaws... Same ultimate result: It would have dipped in week two. It would have dropped like a rock in week three. There would have been a box office report, much like this one, and a comments section talking…

They don’t care if you listen; they know you subscribed.

Fair. “Crystal Skull: The Rocky V of the Henry Walton Jones, Jr. franchise...”

I’ll take operatic. And I’ll stand by what I originally wrote: “This movie is not bad” isn’t a ringing endorsement, and it’s basically all you had to offer before you blamed this sad box office return on “haters” and “negativity.”

Right, but the snide comment to which I responded asked a question that wasn’t about you: “How many people are thinking: oh I’m interested what a C-list actress spouse of a former junior member of another country’s royal family thinks about this topic,” so you were fucking off during work... and didn’t care so much…

Yeah, obviously. That rings through, quiet and opaque...

Judging from the number of comments you strung together about this, apparently more people care than you think, including... you!

This is a really weird take...

You mentioned an “actress” and you supposedly can’t remember her name. (Non factor.) You supposedly can’t remember the name of her successful tv show, or the successful one-woman show it was named after. (Non factor.) You didn’t mention the work she did in a Star Wars film, so I guess…

*Reads headline*

I mean... he was hired by FOX, so...

On the other hand, there will almost certainly be a body of publicly available documentation of his precise location. This article says “Concord, NC” but the record will almost certainly narrow it down. For anyone who is curious and wants to know where he lives. In the event that they’d like to avoid his presence/this…

Am I whining? Or are you caping for a movie that literally millions of moviegoers have decided they don’t want? ‘cause nothing I wrote was whining, so... that leaves you, flag-waving dead-ender, defending The Flopsh.

So, you’ve seen it, then? Or are you just lobbying for an audience with James Mangold?

“We’re here to defend nuking the fridge.”

I want this film just so that ‘Crystal Skull’ isn’t the last one in the ledger. Like raita after a blistering vindaloo. So that’s a yes.

I don’t know what PWB has to do with Harrison Ford, but he’s apparently been cranky his entire adult life, and none of that stopped me from enjoying anything else he’s done. You are…
