Idk if it's a hot take, but I think Matthew Vaughn is a decent mainstream director who desperately wants to be punk rock, but has nothing to say and no real style of his own. So he just comes off as a cheap Guy Ritchie knockoff.

As a fan of this series of movies, Romancing the Stone, The lost City and now this, I will gladly stream this some late spring evening. I hope this at least gives Mr. Cavill a chance at playing James Bond some day. He really fits the book description.

Dave Chappelle must be a piss poor comedian to alienate most of his audience like that. Compare him to Bill Burr, a comedian with some lightly conservative POVs who can bring the audience to his side. He’s just kind of bad at comedy now so he leeched onto a culture war so the same bigots he used to hate get on his…

It’s really fucking weird how “jokes” have become a get out of jail free card for being an asshole. Sorry, jokes don’t necessarily equal harm but they’re hardly harmless when they’re used to belittle already marginalized people.

That really isn’t the Supergirl character though. Unlike Clark she actually grew up on Krypton and was a teenager when it blew up. She lost all of her friends, family and home while Clark has been able to make a home out of Earth.

At the time, I thought TLJ was Johnson attempting to take the sequels into a different direction than the “original trilogy greatest hits!” approach of TFA while still remaining firmly in the Star Wars universe, and while I disagreed with some of his choices, the overall direction he was going excited me. A third film…

You aren’t wrong but James Gunn seems to be the only Marvel director who can work in that style and still deliver funny heart warming movies which still have stakes and great action. The three Guardians movies are still the top of the Marvel output 

OK cool let’s just skip the part where anti-trans rhetoric is deeply intertwined with Nazi rhetoric, because it’s a classic dodge to say shit like “you label everything you disagree with ‘Nazism’.”

Do you realize the amount of intolerance and hate that’s piled upon the trans community? In just the last few weeks, the Ohio governor signed an executive order stripping trans people of their legal protections, EIGHT anti-trans bills were introduced in a single day in Missouri and the Marshall Project discovered that…

I mean, a real issue with Chapelle’s “jokes” about trans people is that they are not funny. Indeed, it’s basically the same comedic premises over and over again (“I identify as an attack helicopter” and “trans people are creeps” are the two basic ones.) He just believes that anything that gets people to get mad at him…

Yeach, gee... how could a hugely influential person using his platform to spread hatred and prejudice towards a group that is already inordinately targeted by violence possibly lead to harm??? It’ not like people are ever influenced by the opinions oft heir idols or anything. It’ not like we have a multitude of…

Or you’re just a shithead.

I’ll bite: Hannah Gadsby is ten times the comedian modern Dave Chappelle is. There’s absolutely nothing interesting or complex in what Chappelle puts out these days. It’s essentially just the worst parts of Twitter, but up on stage being regurgitated by a bitter, aging rich guy. Gadsby, on the other hand, is in her…

“I’M NOT IN MY FEELINGS YOU’RE IN YOUR FEELINGS!”

Nah, see, *real* comedy isn’t being actually funny, or incisive, it’s just indiscriminately pissing people off.

Yeah, its not like he’s done something stupid like that before or anything.

I’d say declaring “I’m a terf and proud” in the midst of seismic anti-trans laws denying basic human rights getting passed is advocating for something incredibly terrible, but hey that’s just me.

Freedom of speech protects his right to be a bigot and a bully, and it protects our rights to call Dave Chappelle a piece of shit hack. Shit cuts both ways. 

In what way exactly is Chappelle a terf? I can’t think of anything “radically feminist” he’s advocated - he’s just a plain old anti-trans bigot.

As much as it would suck seeing that hack bigot wander onstage for the curtain call, imagine the extra sting of seeing your colleagues and coworkers eagerly embracing him.
