It’s weird to talk about the 00s as a different time but they really were. There was a real vogue for boundary-pushing stuff that I found a bit unpleasant, but I was always told that I was just too old to understand (I was 32 in 2009). Chris Lilley was occasionally funny in Summer Heights High, but it definitely felt…

A fifteen minute montage of the Justice Pals doing the Batusi.

Literally just about to post this. RELEASE THE LEWIS CUT!

These people have built their identity around a movie. When the movie sucks ass (which it will), they will perform extraordinary feats of cognitive dissonance to prove that they were right all along, either by pretending it’s actually good or by claiming it’s not the REAL Snyder cut.
