It’s some real tryhard shit.

I don’t have much to add that hasn’t been said here already. Such a braindead, corporate simping take. I hope Ray Greene is a pseudonym because I’d be utterly embarrassed to have this in my byline.
It’s essentially an 1,100 word, mean-spirited ‘OK Boomer.’ Like, grow up, you spoiled children.
It’s a particularly bizarre criticism as Scorsese has always interrogated toxic masculinity—before that term was even coined and long before the topic entered the popular consciousness. He has never celebrated male violence. Or is the problem supposed to be that because it’s a recurrent theme in his work he was…
Cherry on top is that it’s a Dowd review
Yeah, this is just the author couching flaccid criticism of Scorsese in Social Justice lingo to try and sound deeper than whatever the point seems to be. Like we’re not talking about nuanced takes of masculinity like Scrader’s films that can oftentimes feel like they’re elevating bad men. The men in Scorsese’s films…
This site used to be such an important voice in film and television. Very sad to see where it is now.
This is genuinely one of the most rancid, thoughtless articles in the history of the AV Club. It is antithetical to what this website used to be. G/O Media should do us a favor and shut the whole fucking thing down.
an entire body of work steeped in the belief that toxic masculinity is the organizing principle of the cosmos
I know this place isn't a hivemind, but saying the Irishman is a snore and linking to a review that gave it an A minus is certainly something.

It probably would have been mediocre like Big Sky, but it’s a weird thing to pass on by a network. Kelley and Neve on network tv just seems easy audience guarantee.
I’d probably watch it, because Neve Campbell, but the premise sounds like about half a dozen (likely better) shows I could find just by turning on Britbox.
Neve count your chickens before they're hatched.
I found her to be a really endearing character and I find it a great shame Capcom threw her in the dustbin alongside Billy Coen, Carlos and Jake. Also hey no judgement on finding her attractive, I will openly confess that Lady Dimitrescu awoken something in me.
They eventually did release Code Veronica on the PS2. Fun fact: It was the original intended Resident Evil 3 and was developed with “Resident Evil 3" as its codename for most of production. Capcom felt that Dreamcast was more suited for their technical ambitions than PS1. Resident Evil: Nemesis was considered as a…
Can’t believe I’m stuck grading papers on a rainy Friday. OK, Let’s see...
Beyond the graphics, Zero is a shit-tier game. It takes the most annoying aspects of all the games and rolls them up in one package.
Rob Zombies Halloween is just one of the many examples of Rob Zombie being like “I love this, let me not get why this was good or fun and make a movie”. Giving Michael Myers an origin is a terrible idea. Of course Rob Zombies Halloween 2 is a pretty fun watch
This just confirms my suspicion that the 2018 Halloween should have been a one-and-done film rather than the first part of a trilogy.
