Yea, it’s less heinous but he still comes off as pretty fuckin’ clueless (at best)

A nuanced documentary would probably get into the catastrophic failures of neoliberalism as a whole, while conceding that Obama himself is just one person and a pretty damn smart and level-headed guy. But we don’t want that now, do we? He’s either a savior and the purest distillation of hope, or he’s even worse than…

Yeah true. Though also I kind of blame the Victorians who pushed for more serious, noble, romantic versions of the story. It’s not bad exactly, but I wish the playfulness sometimes came through. The stories were more human.

I guess it depends on what you mean by “later,” but Mordred is portrayed as Arthur and Morgause’s son (born of incest) in at least the 13th century. And Morgana and Morgause are usually separate characters, unless you’re talking about the 20th century adaptions.

I’m just hoping Jeffrey Wright reenacts this cover.

Saw it last night with my 19 year old daughter. I liked it. She did not. Pull quote: “That got an R for violence? There was not that much violence.” I have an extensive knowledge of Arthurian lore, she does not. She also struggles with the pre-modern method of story telling in which a lot of stuff just sort of…

Ok, here’s an essay on what getting the media to deal with these kinds of issues is like from the other side; Long story short, it’s a depressing nightmare.

I get that this was the tone of movie he was going for, but I think it’s a little sad that they lost the playfulness of the original. The early medieval KA stories often had that streak of fun and joy and it would have been fun to see it. 

Noted. I don’t think I’ve seen his comments before.

Has this guy done anything of note after writing Training Day? I’ve seen Sabotage, End of Watch, and Suicide Squad, and they’re all pretty bad. Like, I’m open to enjoying over-the-top machismo action movies, but these are just shitty movies. 

That’s a much better idea than “The Dark Universe.” Universal should reward you with a senior executive position and a 12 pound bag of cocaine. 

I love that Archer pulls his Walther to threaten nerds who hassle him for being an RPG noob.

The cut is probably not picture graded or sound mixed and likely has vfx missing. It probably wouldn’t cost much to finish it off, but I doubt it’s in a form most people would find watchable.

That movie was so much better than it had any right to be. Even as a kid the amount of meta commentary in it was hilarious to me.

It’s funny because it’s absolutely nothing like what a shark is like.

Having virtually no knowledge of the source material or even any Arturian lore broader than Monty Python definitely seems to be detrimental when seeing this movie. It’s quite hard to follow the structure, though I’m at least enthused to find from this review that I wasn’t just having exceptional trouble…

Overly Sarcastic is such a fun channel with such an unfitting name.

This must be the flick a friend of mine keeps referring to as “A Connecticut Swamp Thing in King Arthur’s Court”
