“I wanted Cruise for Ozymandias, he wanted to play Rorschach,” said Snyder.

It boggles me how people can’t see that that was clearly a really fun movie edited into mediocrity.

Sigh... Sam, I think you get way too much hate around here, but:

“Make Me Lose Control” is, for those who do not have an unreasonable aversion to ‘80s power ballads, one of the sexiest songs ever recorded. RIP.

Tell me you don’t know where your tax money is going without telling me etc. etc.

Winstone doesn’t get enough credit for this role, agreed. Dreykov is one of the few movie villains who only show up near the end of the movie and have to make an impression in his very first scene. He did.

What I can conclude from this is that Heinlein’s society is pure fantasy. If you’re gonna strip such a basic right as voting from a group of people, they are almost certainly subject to such prejudice and discrimination that it would be impossible for them to succeed in this society. 

Must be nice to be such good friends with your ex-wife that you can direct her in a movie where she plays your best friend’s wife.

I mean, this just sounds like a matter of taste. I happen to enjoy highly choreographed fight scenes, and I’m perfectly fine if they go up to 10 minutes long. I also think the element of conflict in a fight scene makes them inherently more compelling than a sex scene. Which is probably why, outside of porn, you don’t…

Check out the heteronormativity over here!

Whippersnappers.

All this talk about how expensive yet cheap-looking the SFX was misses one important point: not all of that money may have actually made it to the screen. There were rumours that the Shulkie CGI model was originally even buffer, and Disney execs wanted her slimmed down. Y’know what’s a really good way to waste money…

Y’know what’d be fun? If they give Campbell what she wants, she accepts, they release a statement saying she’s back and that everything’s fine and happy again... and then she posts “FREE PALESTINE” on her personal IG.

Thailand doesn’t do Christmas commercials. But when it comes to shamelessly manipulative yet deeply effective tear-jerker ads, nobody does it like the Thais.

His arc was great from TFA to TLJ. It took a nosedive in TROS when his redemption came via deus ex hallucination of his dead father with recycled dialogue.

Interesting points. I had similar thoughts about Wenwu from Shang-Chi. Guy’s a 1,000-year-old immortal and secret mover and shaker of the world’s history, and he did nothing while his homeland went through the Century of Humiliation? And they gave him that speech about appropriation cleverly written to make Chinese go…

What’s incongruous about Wakanda is fans see it as this aspirational black utopia, but its history is that of a society of wildly technologically superior isolationists. That’s going to breed centuries of deeply ingrained racism and xenophobia that’s not going to be wiped away because one ruler wants to build a few…

Wow. Buncha misogynists in the comments here. Most of whom probably drooled over Angelina Jolie 20 years ago. She’s going off to have a quiet happy life and she deserves it, but hope she gets to live to see Brad Pitt’s reputation destroyed, because she certainly deserves that too.

I’m betting not even Gunn, Waititi nor the Russos had final cut, strictly speaking, on their movies. If they had more creative freedom than most, it is entirely based on “well, their movies made money, so let’s let them be” and not “a film’s director is its auteur and they deserve final cut purely on principle” in any…

Newsflash: very very very few Hollywood directors have ever had final cut (i.e. the final say on the edit of a film). No, not even the big names.
