There were a few very rushed plot points. Like, the review noted “people just dropping a potential romantic partner the second they’re even mildly irritating (because the app offers you someone new)”, but is that what happened? I mean, I get that this should have been the point, but I didn’t see it on screen, except…

Sony was putting up 100% of the budget before this. Marvel didn’t pay for production of Homecoming and Far From Home out of their pocket and give Sony 95% of the profits just so they could use Spider-Man. 

Like any good person I don’t want Disney to win every time, but this isn’t good. The Marvel Spiderman movies were good, the Sony Spiderman movies were bad. Seems dumb to celebrate more of the latter and fewer of the former, even if it does stick it to Disney. 

There’s sort of a running orgy theme in the Wachowski’s work...

“I still know kung fu."

“Of course, that also means there are some things that feel incredibly dated, like characters using “gay” and “skank” as punchlines.” 

Imagine being a weird paternalistic creep to fucking Beyonce

That doesn't sound like a good prank at all, because it ended up ruining the nice place for everyone. Now they have 2 shitty bunkhouses.

It’s spetacularly dumb that they got the wrong company, but to me what’s even dumber is asking Amazon (or, you know, whoever) to “cancel” it. As if it were an ongoing show that we might see more of, rather than a limited 6-episode series that was released all at once, has already been viewed by millions of people…

I get your point, but... yah, yah it so would.

There was a recent Teen Titans Go episode that I was watching with my daughter (I like Teen Titans Go but seriously I was watching it with my daughter) and Bob Uecker, formerly of Mr. Belvedere, was guest starring. Cyborg walks into a room where Uecker is finishing up a story to Robin. We hear Robin say, “He actually…

Somebody stop her?

“Dying on the toilet,” “dying while having sex,” and “dying while someone is holding your beer” are not mutually exclusive.  It’s a small and disturbing area on the Venn diagram, but it does exist.

It’s literally the same style as the Homecoming IMAX poster, but less busy, so the whole collage look was definitely on purpose. Just doesn’t work as well without the busy.

Think of the rubella! Won’t someone think of the rubella?

Or how about adapting my book OFF THE DOME in which all the poor beleaguered residents of Chester’s Mill wake up one morning mysteriously gifted with sick freestyle skills.

Probably the best move they could have made. Lean into it, hard, so that people are more like, “hey, really going for it, huh? Huh.”

“Wait, there’s a weird new show about detectives in LA...and it’s from Refn...and it’s polarizing? Sign me up!”

He’s a polarizing film maker.
I would usually say that to mean that some people love him and some people hate him but I’m pretty sure that in his case they’re the same people.
I’m absolutely entranced and incredibly bored by his movies, depending on the film.
