There was some of that “let me show you how Earth marines fight” which makes sense, but, no, Jake didn’t suck at Na’vi skills like taming dragons -- he was literally only the sixth person in all of Na’vi history to tame one! And with basically no training! That basically makes him a Messiah or something. All those…
We’ve found Martin Scorsese’s secret account!
But who the hell is going to play Egg-Head and The Bookworm!?!?
It’s a film I’d stick on if I just wanted something to pass the time and it came up on streaming, but that’s it. I’m not opposed to watching it again, but neither am I seeking it out.
It’s interesting in his head (and his fans for that matter) he’s decided people hated the first film with a passion, that it was supposedly terrible and one of the worst films ever made, when the reality is the criticism was always “pretty looking but generic, not memorable”.
I don’t think it’s so much that Cameron is a “white storyteller” as much as it the story of the first one was based on the dated “white savior” trope. The Na’vi were doomed before white guy Jake (okay in a fake blue body) showed up to show them how *really* to be a Na’vi warrior. And naturally he’s just better at…
That’s some god tier narcissism.
didn’t understand the character, didn’t understand character arcs
I loved that first Wonder Woman movie and was so excited for 84. What a huge bummer. Fitting that it was the perfect cherry on top of the shit sundae that was 2020.
That level of swagger seems like it was probably justified after the first Wonder Woman (“As the only one here to make an entry in this franchise with a favorable Metacritic score, you’ll forgive me if I’m not looking for suggestions from the people who greenlit the Marthaverse.”)
I didn’t realize just how little directing she’s actually done. I was like, “Maybe she’s done a bunch of TV?” But no, not really. Only a handful of episodes of a handful of shows. I’m only half joking when I say, looking at the fact she directed an episode of Arrested Development, that maybe WB was like, “Hey it…
I’d have just sent back the review aggregates for WW84. “Any notes would be appreciated.”
It sounds like she thought she had more clout than she did. I lol’d at the petty passive aggressive move of sending her boss a Wikipedia link for character arcs. That’s some god tier narcissism.
Is she a good director? I honestly can’t tell. More hit-or-miss.
I mean no offense to Patty here, but if WW84 was any indication of the direction you wanted to take things, well... I have to say that, for once, I’m siding with the WB brass on this one.
And as of three months ago, 32 Americans had signed up to play in Russia’s basketball league. https://www.thedailybeast.com/32-americans-are-still-planning-to-play-basketball-in-russia-after-brittney-griners-harrowing-experience
I’m fairly certain Wolverine is not one person but an army of short angry kings that show up everywhere in Marvel comics. The guy has no work life balance
That’s a pretty good plot line, my dude.
I think the hang up for most is that she was traded for Viktor Bout, aka The Merchant of Death, a man with a long history of supplying arms to warlords and terrorists all over the world, and was famously portrayed by Nicholas Cage in the movie Lord of War. He was serving a 25 year sentence for conspiracy to kill U.S.…
