Call me old fashioned, but I remember when they used to hire famous and/or talented people to host SNL.

Meanwhile, Debra Messing is mocking dead Palestinian babies, Amy Schumer is calling Palestinians as rapists and that little shit from Stranger Things called all Palestinians terrorists without any blowback.

I’m not gonna’ say Batgirl’s quality had nothing to do with its cancellation because we can’t know for sure, but

I know that’s bullshit based on the sheer number of critically acclaimed shows that are being cancelled for the same bullshit reasons. Why are you licking the boots of billion dollar corporations and defending their shady ass tax practices? 

Wow, it sure is convenient how every single movie that gets cancelled just happens to be “terrible.” At least according to people who have no way of knowing how good it was since, you know, it was cancelled.

The reasoning behind the shelving of Batgirl was that it was never intended to be released. It was meant to be an HBO Max exclusive. Zaslav calculated that it wouldn’t get enough new subscribers and it was too niche to release theatrically, so they would make the most revenue by killing it and getting the tax…

Copy paste all of that and apply it to this asinine complaint.

While I know it’s useless to argue about pop culture opinions as if there’s an objective right or wrong, it drives me a little nuts when people say ‘The Last Jedi’ left Abrams with nowhere to go with the characters. To me, the film opens up so many intriguing directions. What will Rey do with the remaining knowledge…

This is kind of what I think.  TLJ should have been a trilogy ender not a middle piece.  Oh well.  I still think TLJ is a great Star Wars movie.

(You two should totally get a room, by the way.)

I mean, if we’ve learned anything from the replies to my comment it’s that the last thing MCU fanboys like to do is think about racism and xenophobia.

Again, are you reading only every second line of my post?

The weakness I previously noted with your argument still remains. The belief that one’s country is better than others, is not a unique trait invented by Americans.

That’s what I was alluding to - it’s the American Exceptionalist/Isolationist fantasy that was so prevalent in the late 19th, early 20th century: “Yes, we’re better than all of you. And because of that, we don’t have to help you, even though we like to think we totally could, no muss, no fuss. But you should still…

Do you think that, like, other cultures weren’t interested in being militarily and industrially strong? That was something America invented, and taught the world in the early 20th century?

“It’s those kids who are spewing this antisemitic hate, that have no idea if they stepped foot in an Islamic country—these people who want us to call them they/them, or whatever they want us to call them, which I have respectfully made a point of doing—it’s those people that will be the first people beheaded and their…

“Because Jews, they rally around everybody.”

No they aren’t. That’s the producer. A director can (and in several examples has) have their movie taken away from them.

What hand-wringing? Shitty movies are financially successful all of the time. This idea that the box office is an indicator of quality is dumb. I thought the first Captain Marvel was dull and forgettable, and it made a billion dollars. But I guess “audiences just weren’t interested in finding out whether it was good…

Holy shit, what a dick.
