I am not super into celebrity gossip (I read some CDNA every month or so mostly because I am fascinated by how transparently mean and petty most of the blinds are) but I get the impression “Emma Watson is a b*&^%”* is enough of a meme in that crowd that it likely seems like a bigg story to some and a who cares to…

False choice. It was both. 

I am fairly certain Snyder’s diehard fans will love the movie described above. The hashtag you’re gonna get is #RestoreTheSnyderverse with the planned sequels. 

The Last Jedi is the second best Star Wars film. Fight me! Rawr!

One thing that I appreciate more post-WandaVision is how “accessable” Marvel movies are to the average non-Fan and makes me wonder whether or not “twists” like the Mandarin, Fietro, et al are much more effective than they are percieved online. Let me explain what I mean: Take Fietro. Online fans certainly recognized…

I agree, @Salt2Everything does come across as both sane and rational. Maybe more importantly, they also are effective in relating why the story was important to them.  

Aren’t we BigSandos now?

The rumors floating around have been that in addition to being generally dickish on set (keeping in mind that when he allegedly ranted about how much the Snyder production sucked at the was ranting to the cast and crew that worked on that made that production) Whedon also pressured the actors to do things that they…

Maybe I am conflating my personal perspective on Bill with the average Democrat’s perspective of Clinton but ... I thought the consensus was Bill is a predator and he’d basically been held at arms length after Hillary’s loss. In that context I find the focus on Clinton to be weird given the breadth of people…

I see you

I think what we’re seeing is the tension between the desire to tell a story and the desire to, for lack of a better word, Marvel-ize Star Wars. It felt to me like Johnson wanted to make the final movie in the main trilogy while Disney wanted to maintain enough of the status quo and introduce enough elements to have…

I’ve spent some time sitting on how I felt about this movie. My overall sense in real time was “wow, this movie is bad”. That was different than my reaction to TLJ which was “that sucked” but over time I actually came to really like. I think that’s because TLJ had a story to tell and some of it landed and some didn’t…

There are multiple arguments as to why James Bond needs to be white. Some are bad and some boil down to racism. But even the article you reference misses the argument I subscribe to and find compelling.

As a father, I can tell you that Mr. Scumbag Movie is a real dickhead. Maseau is alright though. #GotHim

It’s sad the accuser feels she needs to remain anonymous. But I am glad her story got out there and that it encourages other’s to come forward if they have similar stories.

My feelings too. I’ve realized that, for better or worse, my candidate preference is often influenced by how tolerable I find their worst supporters. The PUMA’s really turned me off Hillary in 2016 and The Bernie Bros reminded me too much of every entitled rich kid I went to college with who complained about injustice…

And, amusingly, helping make the original poster’s point by arguing with you about Bernie’s age.

I agree the argument is bad. But it’s also being framed in a context where “is Liam Neeson a racist” is a legitimate controversy controversy and she felt the need to weigh in to defend him on the merits. It’s unclear to me how much traction that perspective actually has outside of KinjaLand and The Mary Sue and…

In general I’m for race- or gender- swapping characters that have traditionally been played by white male actors because it’s rare that being white and/or male is really integral to the character. However I read an article several years ago that I can no longer find where the author made a very compelling argument…

I find Sullivan perplexing. Who exactly is his constituency in the media ecosystem? And why does he keep getting employed?
