But I'm referring to the original NES. Before that it was Atari, which was unmistakably a GenX property.

This is bullshit. We are The Nintendo Generation! I've been saying it for years before this douche made up some dumb hybrid.

I don't even think it's that interesting an experiment. Some of the French New Wave approach to scenes and edits were cool in the first hour, but mostly it just seemed like Wright wished he was making STREETS OF FIRE. It's empty at its centre, and the whole thing (a problem I initially thought would just be relegated…

That isn't enough. All movies should be Marvel movies. All restaurants should be McDonalds.

It's groundbreaking to the degree that it's pretty crazy there hasn't been a major movie about Wonder Woman until now.

It was funny in the trailer when Kathryn Hahn said "Fuck" and then Mila Kunis said "Holy shit." loll Women who swear. What will comedy writers come up with next!

I'm not saying his portrayals are good, but no, I'm talking about his human casts.

Vicious Lies is super underrated, and you guys should listen to it again. It's a bit more relaxed than Sir Lucius, but Big Boi's three solo records before this one (which I haven't heard yet, and I'm counting Speakerboxxx) were some of the best mainstream efforts to bring funk into the modern era.

OMG, this drives me crazy. I've been called "too accommodating" for the exact same thing. I explain that I'm happy at most places, so if she suggests a place that I don't have a reason to avoid, that's cool. There will be more important things to debate.

This happens when seeing everything through any lens. You get a lot of people who don't know the difference between portrayal and endorsement.

Say what you want about Michael Bay, but he's actually been really consistent in providing his films with racial diversity (maybe - I haven't seen his last two Transformers).

This is a common phenomenon in a lot of walks. For example, a lot of the most reviled film directors are people whose work has unique signatures (Tim Burton, Rob Zombie, Zack Snyder). Meanwhile, filmmakers without easily-identified auteurist stamps are welcomed, because there's no recurrent element for people to latch…

I hope it's good, but damn, the trailer (which actually quotes a premature Rotten Tomatoes score) is awful. A movie shouldn't be so sold on its perceived coolness.

That's quite a simplification of what I said, and you know it. Clearly, there's been a shift in how these issues are scrutinized within the mainstream, and that often involves holding things that would be celebrated as progressive in the past to a contemporary standard.

Exactly. A segment of a generation is not a different generation.

Regarding Black Widow (and somewhat Faith), that criticism isn't fair. Characters aren't a guidebook for how to live your life, and it's crazy that we demand they be exemplars of idealized points of view. They're allowed to have flaws. It was a stretch when the internet jumped on this idea that Whedon thinks sterile…

Ok, but it was 2006, and the internet was a lot less obsessed with gender. I'm not saying that's inherently bad, but revisionism can be very smug. Whedon probably felt he'd mined the female superhero without need for overriding male-character perspective pretty thoroughly on BUFFY (which was revolutionary) and wanted…

Judging by the title, this same book has already been written by other web journalists six times in the past two years.

Wolf of Wall Street is the new pillar for exposing people who don't understand the difference between portrayal and endorsement.

And War of the Worlds is as much Dakota Fanning's film as Tom Cruise's.
