Unfortunately, now this comment’s living rent free in my head....

OR... and hear me out... No one can do cinematography wrong as you’re presenting... because it is a creative medium, and a specific form of subjective expression without a “correct” way to do things used in service of specific texts. In this case with Snyder, you might not like how it looks, or vibe with the style,…

I’m not entirely sure what he is saying is actually that clear, honestly, but the third (of three tweets to this thread, not quoted in the above article) somewhat feigns to this:

“so they feel like they can only experiment w/ aesthetic. (also because some of em know theyre not that good)“

Hey! Prince superfan/guitarist here! I really enjoy this solo, but FWIW, I’d say Prince’s lead-style playing definitely switches up for the setting/genre — he almost always gets more noodly and show off-y live, and def in his rock stuff, likely bc he knew the flash sold. I generally tend toward your taste in players…

Agreed! However, one of my favorite facts about “Little Red Corvette” is that those amazing solos were provided by Dez Dickerson (also from The Time and perennially underrated), which is literally the only thing other than the Revolution’s backing vox Prince didn’t do himself.

This shit looks like Hydrox Malcom and Marie

You’re correct in the assertion that there hasn’t been any mainstream TV/Movies that really capitalize on the steampunk aesthetic, but I wouldn’t discount the fact that in recent years there have been a LOT of major mainstream blockbuster video/tabletop games that are squarely in the steampunk genre, and likely what…

Something I think that should be noted is that while if Snyder got his version out in 2017 it wouldn’t be 4hrs, but a 4hr cut would likely follow soon thereafter, as nearly every one of his movies has had a director’s cut follow up on home video immediately thereafter (and in many cases, including BvS, are notably bett…

Yo man, what’s yer favorite flavor of boot? I dig the earthy leather of Docs, but have a sweet tooth for Timbs.

Yo, actually, let’s not mince words: Fuck this piece, and fuck the entire concept of NFTs, and fuck anyone that continues to perpetuate the blatant myth that this is any sort of boon to artists or a tool for a more-equitable art market (an oxymoron in and of itself). This shit has the environmental impact mmm about…

Yeah, Fox cancelled it, though theoretically, Disney’s hands weren’t actually tied w/r/t ending production on the series, given their numerous equivalent distribution platforms for such content (including their own broadcast network, as you mention). Not quite the same as killing it off, but their disinterest in…

probably just an awkwardly phrased way of saying it rounds out the McCartney I-III trilogy of literal “solo” albums where he produced/played all the parts himself in relative isolation.

Another ideological inconsistency I struggled with in this premiere. The show spends a lot of time trying to make us think that Banks are Bad for not extending Sam a loan, but then after the Flag-Smasher’s already-muddled intro, it tries to prove their villainy by... robbing a Bank?? Also, the first scene surrounded…

Sure, but the title “The Series Finale” is still just in line with this season’s titling conventions, which all describe the status of the “WandaVision” show-within-a-show during the episode (ie: EP4, “We Interrupt This Program” didn’t have any new broadcast of the WV show, indicating it is what the titles refer to,…

His Ash v. Evil Dead episodes show a renewed spark for creative action setpieces, love of campy lore, and was surprisingly concerned with the psychological toll past experiences had on his reluctant protagonist. Color me cautiously optimistic for his take

Not Randy, but this experimental punk/hip-hop group from Philly named Soul Glo absolutely rips.

I , there’s potentially a lot more to explore that’s not necessarily dotting Is and crossing Ts. I feel like this show has done well at being an examination of grief, loss, and trauma, and how it ripples out and effects others/society. Given Wanda herself has a lot to unpack, and they’ve done well as broadly shading…

This ties a bit into something that I haven’t seen much addressed when discussing the finale: Everyone is treating this like a standalone movie/miniseries/unit of MCU, simply because Feige hasn’t confirmed a S2 or not yet. But as a whole, TV shows, unlike movies are generally designed to be ongoing, whose advantages…

Yeah, look, I’m not a huge Snyder fan or anything, but let’s be fair: the article basically says the original director made claims about his version of the movie as it stood (13 years ago!!); whenever Snyder took over the project he clearly accurately surmised it was a terrible idea and axed it.

An ACTUAL fun fact I…

Earnestly, he’s done this, and a collection of movies his preservation foundation has been involved with is one of the more-popular new curated collections on Criterion Channel that’s really pretty good (and to your below claim, features a significant number of film by women and foreign filmmakers). From the…
