Mantzoukas showing up as a weird psychological abstraction? Derek

Definitely “nerding”, according to the captions.

VW’s album was great. It’s definitely not a bunch of demos and b-sides, it’s as cohesive as any of their other albums.

Cary: “Stop fighting.” Kerry: “That’s like me saying, ‘Stop worrying.’”

From my understanding it has less to do with the (non)limitations of the medium and more to do with gaming the streaming charts and getting that sweet fraction of a cent royalty for every track.

This is such a boring and contrived album. 

This album proves that Chance peaked with Acid Rap.

counterpoint: this record is a new low for Chance and solidifies the creative collapse of his career for me.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is imperfect. It could have easily lost around 30 minutes without missing a beat, it has a few too many cameos, but it has been growing on me since it ended. I’ve gone from not being sure how to feel about it to really appreciating the fact that it exists.

Your fears are entirely justified. And the fact that the only way Tarantino knows how to deal with injustice is through juvenile revenge fantasies is not only upsetting, but really unimaginative.

It’s not an empowerment movie; I was using that argument to defend the former two films. My bad for implying I was using the same logic to defend this one. I was just talking about people who dismiss QT’s other works in general as being merely crass.

The fact hat you think movie reviews can be objective show that maybe you have no idea what your talking about.

I get the argument that Inglorious Basterds and Django Unchanged are empowerment movies, but who is Once Upon A Time... empowering? Angry white men who hate nagging women, Mexicans and hippies?

Creative fiction shouldn’t feel like it can’t utilize serious events to make a point. It would be one thing if QT made Inglorious Basterds or Django to celebrate bigotry. But he didn’t. In fact, those are straight-up empowerment movies. And you could get yourself twisted up about whether a white Christian man is…

I saw the movie and it is good. Quite good. Apart from the gross foot stuff (FUCKING SPARE ME, SPARE ME!) the three problematic things with the movie are (1) Hiring batterer Emile Hirsch at all, he savagely beat a woman and has been rewarded for it since, (2) the Cliff wife murder...it’s not just played off, it is…
