Then why choose 1988? It’s very specific.

I find that actually much more likely than some of the responses I’m getting.

Who isn’t affording the company the benefit of the doubt? I thought I was pretty clear in stating that it’s possible most people there didn’t know but it’s such an obvious and all due respect to the fucking WW2 experts in the comments well known Nazi-ass dogwhistle that I find it very hard to believe that NOBODY in…

Except wtf does 1988 mean in the context of a Steamboat Willie horror knockoff? I know that there’s an element of nostalgia porn in bringing up the 80s but this seems.... convenient.

1000% on the callout of the fucking cheapest, shittiest, hackiest impulses of these braindead dickbags making edgelord horror crap.

Copy paste all of that and apply it to this asinine complaint.

I very briefly mistook that headline as being about Money Plane and was excited to hear about the further adventures of Adam Copeland and Kelsey Grammer. Oh well.

Hahaha.... Yeah, fair. I get hyperbolic sometimes.

Oh sure, I’m aware. It feels like every fucking week some asshole actor is deciding “You know what? I’m gonna write and direct, too.” Like everybody wants to be Neil Breen but not quite so crazy and bad at it. But yeah, Breen proves that one guy doing all the jobs is financially lucrative.

Yes, 100%. The wardrobe was so stiff. I know she was playing a lawyer but a lot of scenes took place outside of court. I also found the hair such a distraction. It was such a weird kinda mohawk-looking thing!

I wonder if maybe part of it is that she’s playing the in-character daughter of her IRL father and that caused performance weirdness for her. She might also just not be very good, but with Olyphant as a producer it’s probably hard to say “Nah, Tim, we’ll hire someone with a little more experience and/or talent.” I…

Just reminds me of a Between Two Ferns clip I’ve been seeing a lot lately in blooper reel collections (the algorithm knows what I like) of Zach asking Benedict Cumberbatch “If you didn’t have an accent do you think people would be able to tell that you’re not a very good actor?”

There are so many comic book movies before that trilogy that were both good and took it seriously. I’m not always on board for shitting on Barsanti but holy good sweet jebus what a stupid, stupid statement on his part.

Nolan, being himself an absolute shit writer, doesn’t recognize other shit writers when he encounters them. Which is really Snyder’s biggest problem and my personal problem with Nolan most of the time.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahaha

If we want to talk modern day, that sounds like an apt description of Neil Breen or Tommy Wiseau or James Nguyen or any of the weirdos whose names are spoken in hushed tones around the Rifftrax office.

Cool. Except if you DID read the graphic novel that’s not *really* the message. It’s much more about propaganda via pop culture and how superhero comics, and power fantasy fiction in general, feed into that. In adapting the graphic novel Snyder made the mistake of not having similarly metatextual conversations about…

I don’t make that distinction. TDK is fucking ludicrously self-serious. I really like Begins but TDK was the start of a truly eyeroll-worthy “grimreal” trend that Snyder followed up on, just with less narrative chops. And that’s saying something given how godawful some of the dialogue and plotting is in TDK.

Which is interesting since as much as I might have problems with Snyder as a storyteller at least he can competently direct an action sequence.

I’m glad that the list updates and I’m happy to see REm4ke on there. But FFS, can you *please* just f’ing acknowledge that it has a f’ing PSVR2 mode now? It’s amazing. I know it just got that mode but you clearly update this list and you clearly uploaded it recently. I’m not asking for a lot here. Just acknowledge the…
