Eh, it’s streets ahead of Revolutions (recently rewatched, and egad is that boring trash), but no amount of masturbatory filmic doubletalk is going to convince me that Reloaded is anything but an okay sequel with some good fight scenes (the highway scene is thrilling), a lot of CGI that has not held up, and an…

Sounds like elder abuse.

It’s pretty clear this is a cover story to explain an injury he sustained during his fifth or sixth plane crash.

Rian was boxed in by Disney, but I think part of the brilliance of The Last Jedi is that he managed to make those limitations a strength. If you’re basically replaying the original trilogy, then the only way to break out is to deconstruct a familiar narrative.

I do enjoy the delicious irony that Star Wars nerds were clamoring for Disney—a major corporation bent on vacuuming up all IP in sight in order to trick nostalgia enthusiast to hand over their hard earned dough—away from its creator, only to have them somehow do a worse job than Lucas at making Star Wars movies.

I’m a bit of a Marvel skeptic, so I was thinking about ditching the films after Endgame, which seemed like a natural jumping off point. Besides, Black Widow looks largely bland. But Shang Chi and Eternals have both kind of pulled me back in.

I love the hypocrisy of these racists saying two women kissing in front of their children is unacceptable, and yet screaming obscenities and getting kicked out of a pool in front of said-children is a-ok. “Mommy screams at women of color so you don’t have to see them kiss!” Toodaloo, Karen!

Yeah, I saw this in the morning, well after the “let’s maKKKe KKKlever joKKKes”

“Make it something like ‘Warner Bros Discovery,’ but less lame”

As a name, Warner Bros. Discovery is lazy, but it works. The logo, though, is lazy, full stop.

Let’s play swap names in headlines!
