I still think your better option was to just skip 2001 or cover another film from another year, but whatever. It’s kinda silly to tie yourself so stricly to the year concept-if Unbreakable had come out 5 weeks later you would’ve covered it here.

I like Anno Dracula, but as comparisons to Moore go, it’s much more League of Extraordinary Gentlemen than From Hell, despite the Jack the Ripper connection. 

He just said it’s decidedly not a superhero movie.

I’ve always wanted to meet someone who says Po-TAH-to

We get it, you’re a fucking racist shithead. Don’t need to write an essay about it.

There’s no way that Nyong’o’s non-involvement is because they didn’t want her, particularly since the replacement is a complete nobody as far as star power goes.  I expect she ultimately passed on the project.

Given how dark the source material is, that actually doesn’t strike me as unlikely.

It didn’t kowtow to Marvel making a movie with all its characters as a defining cinematic achievement, and correctly assessed that movie as just OK, not as good as some of the others. So, yeah, absolutely nothing was wrong with it. 

He’s trolling, as per usual. Notice that in responses to others he immediately says that he thinks it was a mistake, not actual intentional racism (duh, given the back story) and that he actually likes Danson. He and another regular poster named “recognitions” both live to feign outrage in comments that are usually onl…

Dear God.  You guys need to write several more essays about this junk.

You didn’t respond to what I said.

If you’re wondering how they eat and breathe / and other Abba facts / repeat to yourself: “it’s just a cheap cash-in on existing IP” / I should really just relax

Is it possible that we’re seeing various iterations of these characters as their future selves repeatedly travel back in time in order, presumably, to prevent some kind of catastrophe? Obviously the intense radiation that a traveler absorbs during the translation process, which I’m told can range from 6 to 10 Sv,…

Obama has enjoyed a massive boost in post-presidency approval ratings in the last year while Colbert has enjoyed a massive boost in ratings that has placed him at the head of the late night talk show class, don’t you think you should speak for yourself instead of “the masses” or “the electorate?”

I just want to say that I pointed this out in the other Mamma Mia thread, and was castigated for being unable to suspend my disbelief. 

And do you know who genuinely was a great socially-progressive President?

“Well you see, Caroline, sometimes mommies want to have wine before noon on a Saturday, then go out to a movie and have some fun, but not too much fun before they stumble home to us and the crushing, terrible weight of their choices.”

No administration is going to be perfect but Trump conducts himself in a way that another Republican president probably wouldn’t have done.

Way to avoid the real question: if you make banh mi with human meat but don't use a Vietnamese person, is that cultural appropriation?
