Yeah, this is a really dumb take. Any person in any job who has success would expect that success to lead to bigger and better opportunities. Of course it was a stepping stone, virtually every step of a career is a stepping stone. I doubt he created Arrow and then said “If this pans out, I retire. This is my greatest…

Guggenheim is incredibly focused on the fact that his work has, for the most part, been ignored by Hollywood. Which sucks, yeah, but it really feels like Guggenheim might be better served by creating original work instead of playing in someone else’s sandbox. But, he also managed to spend a decade making incredibly…

I thought that it was a fun Ant-Man movie. It had a bunch of funny moments, some nice character interactions, and a good villain. Also, MODOK is fucking hilarious, I don’t care what anyone says.

I will add that this will inevitably lead to a scrubbed up and idealized vision of the past. I often think so many white Gen Xers are so vulnerable to right wing propaganda because we were fed a steady diet of 1950s nostalgia that was created in the 1970s. No mention that Mrs. C. on Happy Days couldn’t get a credit…

I don’t like the idea of editing books without the author’s permission, but there is some precedent for this — in his own lifetime, Dahl revised the Oompa-Loompas from being African pygmies to more generic fantasy tribal people (perhaps still problematic but less so).

I understand the desire to update these stories so a new generation of kids aren’t reading about harmful stereotypes, but editing a dead author’s work is extremely gross and sets a terrible precedent. I don’t need “updated language” when I read an older book. Erasing the sins of the past is also a good way to avoid…

Basically any Friday wide release technically opens at least on Thursday (and occasionally on Wednesday when there’s a holiday) these days, or they do at chain theaters in decent metro areas anyway. I’m pretty sure it’s a progression from the “midnight release” showings that I think started showing up around 2000 or…

Un-fucking-believable they wrote these headlines on the same day

a shockingly bad take.

Jesus Chris I wish there was an option on this site to just ignore certain writers. 

Same author, same day:

the way that one might serve their ex legal papers (flashy, public, meant to be seen and discussed the world over).

There is also a double standard at work here. Wilde began fucking the lead actor on a movie she was directing. She didn’t get lectures about a power imbalance, etc the reaction was more “slay queen slay”.

So just to be clear: we're supposed to hate Jason Sudeikis because of a report from a former nanny that both he and Olivia Wilde denied was true, and also because a process server did their job? Even for present-day AV Club, this is a shockingly bad take.

This sounds like one of those tourist scams where they just try to confuse you until you give up and hand them $20 to go away.

Yeah except in MCU movies they’re characters that I’ve been following more or less for 35 years.

I feel like there are two different things here. It’s clearly successful, but I think the idea that it carries no cultural relevance is kind of valid. I still haven’t seen it, and I’m surprised I haven’t been spoiled with any major plot details or ‘oh shit’ moments. There don’t seem to be many think pieces or anything…

I’ll take this opportunity to promote Genesys as an alternative system that people should really consider exploring.

To help today’s increasingly selective audiences, I think all movies should indicate whether or not they’re “A Knives Out Mystery”. For example:

Me: Oh good, I’ve been looking for an article like this, because so much has happened it’s been hard to keep track of

Gizmodo: lol, lmao, hope you like a fucking slideshow for no reason
