It was greenlit during Disney’s “throw as much money at Disney+ as possible” era so they had the actual Walt Disney Animation Studios working on it instead of one of their TV studios

If it’s a film about journalism during war time and the war is about nothing then the film is about nothing. 

You mean the movie that thanks piece of shit Andy Ngo in the credits? Yeah, there’s no fucking way I’m watching that. Anyone who associates themselves with that fucking twatwaffle can go fuck themselves.

It’s a franchise with its fair share of stupidity, but Wingard’s two entries are an order of magnitude more stupid than the rest. I think it’s safe to assume that much of the fault lies with him.

I mean, there seem to be people who only watch the movies for the end-credit sequence to know What’s Coming Next, based on some of the comments I’ve seen here over the years. Thus they say the movies are “just” advertisements for the next thing, referring to a 45-second bit that happens after the movie is over. They…

So nothing is changing but a few words before a title to try to get the thickheaded bloggers and reviewers to stop pretending you need to “watch everything” and “do homework” to enjoy the Marvel movies, because the “superhero fatigue” narrative drives engagement and makes for an easy scapegoat for a complex media…

Who are these “familiar” Disco bridge crew faces you speak of? 

I watch this show because I’m desperate for Star Trek since The Orville and Strange new worlds is currently not a thing but I still can’t get over how little the writing makes sense all these years in.

I LOL’d.

I did not expect them to fully commit to Fatal Attractions, but bravo.

The Marvels was really fun movie that got fucked over by the strike & lack of publicity.

I’m with you on this, it’s the same reason I quit watching The Walking Dead years ago, but they really are well made, entertaining movies.

The Phantom Menace is full of thinly veiled racist tropes.

It may have been (at least partly) a factor of where I lived at the time and/or the circles I traveled in online, but in my case while the racism angle was certainly mentioned, the overwhelming majority of the criticism followed what lightninglouie talks about, that it was a silly, goofy character that “ruined” the…

The Phantom Menace is full of thinly veiled racist tropes.

The hate for Jar-Jar was overblown and Best absolutely never deserved a single shred of the bullying he got. That was over the line and awful.

It helps if the art is good. I think one of the reasons why Claremont’s star dimmed in the ‘80s is that after Paul Smith moved on, the art in X-Men went from mediocre to borderline incoherent and there was nothing to offset his weird quirks and flaws as a writer. And bad art made them seem even worse.

The ADHD thing is dumb and insulting. The biggest release of the spring is Dune Part Two, a nearly three-hour movie that’s a sequel to a movie that’s almost as long. If the Russos were correct, then it would’ve been released like the Lynch version, hacked down to a single movie just over two hours long. But no, it…

Yeah, as much as I think “superhero fatigue” is overblown ballooey, blaming “collective ADHD” of kids these days is even worse nonsense. Kids today are perfectly able to sit through a movie. So are people with ADHD, by the way, if the movie is good enough.
