Is any other type of criticism of a movie considered "forcing" a director to do something? People are making a point that Sheridan's female characters fall into a familiar, tired, and sexist trope. It doesn't make all of his movies awful or him some ridiculous misogynist caricature, it doesn't have to be attacking the…

I actually enjoyed Live Free or Die Hard—it definitely turns McClane into a cartoon, but I don't really buy that the appeal of the original is rooted in "realism" as much as people claim. Didn't bother to watch the fifth one though, it looked dreadful
As the child of Indian immigrants, temple of doom was weirdly the first Indy movie my dad showed me, because older Indian people tend to think more like "oh look we're in the movie!" than "oh fuck, they think we all eat brains and shit." And although I'm lowkey about to start a career focused on issues of racial…
Has anyone considered that the zombie demon thing Bobby saw last week is actually the full progression of the rash we saw on Sky Ferreira a few weeks ago? the idea just came to me
I think Bane is disliked a little, because of how thin of a character he ends up being. Sure, he's cool and interesting when you're watching him, but then he just turns out to be a glorified henchman. Nolan starts off the film making you think this is continuing with the whole "adversary with a philosophy" thing from…
Dude, you clearly don't know anything about mental health or drug addiction. If you don't wanna take the time to understand, fine, but know that these types of comments only help push people who are really struggling closer to the edge
To be fair, his action scenes have improved immensely since TDK. Just take a look at the fights between Batman and Bane in the last film and compare them to anything in the first film, it's leagues away. I'm excited for Dunkirk, precisely because I think it's a type of story that suits Nolan's skills well.
math tho
Alway's Sunny is an interesting example—it's obviously a show about awful people, but it uses their awfulness inventively to handle social issues. Rewatching, say, the ski resort episode and realizing that the "cool ski dude" was actually a rapist the whole time and frank was paying hookers allows the show to casually…
You're missing the point. There are consistently reports of pornstars facing abuse and if you are a straight male whose ever stumbled upon or watched this porn, you know that a lot of it is built on the implication that the woman is not enjoying it (hence the crying, angry screaming, kicking, aggression, sometimes…
I think it's trying to do something a lot less plot-heavy, emphasizing theme and symbolism and subtext, but it doesn't always work. Definitely think it's gotten better since the first few episodes, but I'd understand still being frustrated, especially since it's a big change in pace from the earlier seasons. This…
Hey! There's one about an indian 30 something so HA
I don't really think it's about whether the plan was effective or not. There's probably a pretty even chance Evegenia goes home or stays if her son dies. She could be mad at Alexei, but she would also probably be devastated and depressed enough to not do shit for at least a month or two, if not longer. Not to mention…
If you look at your descriptions of the finales, there's a clear move from "people get shot" to "important development for phillip and elizabeth's characters." For most of the show the action really has been driving the character development by presenting them with serious dilemmas, but there have also been plenty of…
This could all be solved if people just stopped watching Jimmy Fallon.

Tbh I do think a lot of the show is operating through metaphor and subtext, but the characters, cinematography, and storytelling are really vibrant and interesting too, especially after we get through that depressing first season
She's definitely not pleasant and needs a lot more help than she seems to be getting, but I wouldn't call her terrible. Mostly because no one in the world has ever really dealt with the kind of shit she went through. Of course, in real life, at a certain point, a person who lashes out at others all the time is gonna…
Yea and there's no possible way we could all do a better job of helping those people. There are no problems with our mental health system or our healthcare system in general and absolutely no stigma against people getting mental health treatment. There also aren't millions, if not billions, of people who don't have…
I mean unless you really want to equate the quality of a piece of art with how popular it is, could you point out specific things wrong with the show outside of it being "pretentious and arty?" It's largely a meditation on religion, belief, faith vs. science, grief, and mental illness. If you don't know a whole lot…
