I’m getting tired of expecting critics and filmmakers and moviegoers to know what “based on” means. People who point out inaccuracies in non-documentary movies (even ones BASED ON real events) just end up pinning asses’ ears on themselves more than anything else. Every fucking alternative-rag film critic thinks he’s…

Right, but it wasn't supposed to be plausible. It was supposed to be a crowd-pleaser.

A rich white lady with thin skin? Man, I believe it when I see it.

I’m still trying to figure out what’s so fucking hard to understand about her actions. She posted a blog without naming names, but put in enough details so pretty much everyone would know who she’s talking about. Obviously, she didn’t name him to avoid potential legal trouble. In it, she mentions how she isn’t…

of course he wants to move on, he gets paid and doesn’t face any sort of consequences for his actions. I wouldn’t call that “classy” though.

I was with her until she stated that becoming a mother has made her a better person and artist. Because we childfree humans lack empathy and couldn’t possibly open the door to enlightenment until we’ve given birth.

God I miss the old AV Club. You woulda been beat to shit in a quietly articulate fashion. Instead, you appear to have one upvote and goddamn I’m tired.

You can’t see it in that picture, but he’s taking pick-up shots as ADP.

The criticism of this new category is justified, but in all seriousness I do think there is room for two “Best Picture” awards.  But the criteria I’d establish would be something more along the lines of “Best Picture - Studio Production” and “Best Picture - Independent Production.”  Since Studio pictures tend to be…

Every single one of those movies is at the very least worth watching. Lee has had some misfires, but at this point his average is pretty great.

That wasn’t the problem. They could have made really fantastic stories with the leftovers. And even in the stories that weren’t about the leftovers, the writing was bad and the characters were awful.

I never watched the show, but it seems like it could’ve been set a few years behind the present-day events of the MCU. That seems like a way to build suspense into the DNA of the show -- we know, for example, that the events of Winter Soldier are coming up, since that movie came out 2 years before. It’s a neat idea to…

Ok, I get being upset that a story used rape. It’s a difficult topic. But I think that the MeToo movement actually makes stories like this more important. We can’t ignore terrible things, and telling stories is how we come to grips with real life scenarios. This discussion is why it’s important. We need to be able to…

No one is saying Syd deserved it.

Jesus. You’re illiterate. He’s not saying it did, moron. He’s saying the reviewer wasn’t as horrified at Syd’s character for it.

And unless I’m misremembering, it was at the very least strongly implied that Willow had been doing this to reconcile relationship fights for a while.

Yet Syd sexually assaulted her mother’s boyfriend. Since she was using her mother’s body, technically her mother too. On top of that, he went to jail for it. Yet we were still able to see Syd as “good” after.

Tara didn’t discover she’d been essentially drugged by Willow before they had sex. Remember the song “Under Your Spell” - ? She’s singing that about how great Willow is while Willow goes down on her. While she’s drugged. It’s not a lesser thing than what happened on Legion.

It’s interesting that Syd’s experience with her mother’s boyfriend didn’t seem to provoke a similar reaction out of this reviewer.
