I would. I find the marvel ‘every movie follows the same 4 beats’ thing that they do to have been played out after the original avengers. Which is why i hold the unpopular option that ant man is the only interesting post avengers marvel movie (Because it's a straight up screwball comedy) and DCs films are worth…

I dont know, like I said above- this movie was clearly butchered in post. It might not be good, but it wasnt given much of a chance to prove one way or the other

I have no training in film theory or anything but my immediate reaction to suicide squad was ‘I have no idea if this could have been good, but some studio editing people really ruined this thing.' I'd actually be curious to see a real edit of this film

I specified sexual assault. Being socially awkward is a far cry from digitally penetrating an unwilling subordinate. Conflating the two is a gross way to downplay the seriousness of sexual assault

The cop who knelt on Floyd's neck had 1 serious use of force case each year hed been employed... which was 15 years. Getting rid of trump would be good, but the rot predates him and goes way deeper then just his dumb tweets. We need to disband most of our police and start from scratch

The tara reade thing also doesnt seem to be particularly credible for a bunch of reasons. For one, after this allegation came out, weve subsequently learned that tara reade is a serial fabulist- she has lied about academic credentials, her professional accomplishments and has now been accused (credibly) of committing…

Heck, Soyuz is *from* the 60s and only modified their controls to be digital about 10 years ago. Before that it was all analog. If it ain't broke, dont fix it.

This is odd- I’ve seen some ads for this film on TV and there is 0 evidence johnson is even in it. I assumed it was a dramedy about an aging star and her too cool long time manager finally admitting their love, based on the ads

It got a release, but they ended up with a major rights issue that they couldnt easily untangle (the financing was apparently a massive multinational web.) Because of that, the north american release didnt coincide with the international release and it basically seems to have been thrown out to die

This was a movie that felt very much like an editing issue. Otherwise, I generally quite liked it. But I’m a sucker for Guy Ritchie quick cut montages, so having that but for king arthur was right up my alley

No, the playbook is to go with the ‘I apologize to anyone who was offended’ route and then shift blame to a nameless producer and writer and then point out how it was a different time.

To be fair, your brain doesnt know if it was the street cart beef kebob or the criminal minds. It's just playing it safe

i have no praise for peter- he was an idiotic autocrat who managed to get himself killed because of his arrogance. what i have is disdain for the idea that catherine was a laudable figure. any ‘progressive’ ideals she put out there, peter would likely have done, as it was his own platform. but what i don’t like is the…

Anyone who uses 'flex' is not worthy of a proper response. You are wrong, you do not know the history of russia, nobody likes your man bun and sour beers may appeal to some people, but most of us do not like them and that is fine

Literally everything you wrote is wrong. But what’s fascinating is how they’re all wrong for radically different reasons. I salute you for going the extra mile on being wrong though. Most people would have been satisfied with picking just one lane

weirdly, peter the third was also german- barely spoke russian. Catherine was actually a german relative of his.

To answer the headline, the cynical but true answer is that skateboarding isnt cool anymore, so there isnt enough of an audience to justify new games

if my response to the movie was ‘this is competently done, but dumb and treats its audience like its never occurred to them that class differences exist because they are korean and this is all new to them?’ would i just be as annoyed by this show as i was by the movie?

Yyeah, ultimately that is the issue. There are some funny bits in it and the leads are doing fun stuff with their public personae vs. their characters. But outside of those handful of moments is a *lot* of screen time where you’re kind of just sitting around waiting.

Ah- by the time I first saw it, it was in the late 00's and the appeal of ‘where shall I ever find boobs’ had long been drowned in the bathtub by internet porn. It barely registered with me outside of 'oh hey, boobs'
