1. As I said to simplepoopshoe, I didn’t say anything that the show itself didn’t say by the episode in question. I said “truth about Dane”, which could mean anything.

Part of the issue, specifically with Cleese and his transphobic bullshit, is how much society at large is in denial about the issue. And in the UK there’s even more social fucked upedness over trans rights. This stupid old fuck thinks “derp I decide to be a Cambodian woman derp” is a remotely reasonable parallel to…

It's not articulation, it's volume.

But even that is misunderstanding the reason people in privileged groups get defensive about the marginalized. It isn't about sensitivity, it's about recognizing that the in group has more of a voice and any objection the out group might have can be too easily dismissed. I see arguments about this as removing the…

Ehhh.... This particular suit came about because of the plaintiffs being disappointed but I’m not personally interested in that aspect. There’s a difference, to me, between being disappointed in a final product and that final product being *actually* different from what is advertised. I don’t care about Ana De Armas.…

That’s totally fair and I’m probably just jilted and looking for reasons to snark about Nolan. Between him and his equally overhyped brother I have a rattlesnake’s worth of venom.

Really showing my age here...

There have been two separate He-Man reboots in the last couple of years.

Must the footage be exactly the same as it was in the trailer? What if it’s color-graded differently?

Better Call Saul always gave us some idea of where it was going. Which isn’t to say it never surprised but it didn’t tease the surprise the same way that Westworld constantly did and Fallout *kinda* did to a much less annoying extent. And with The Leftovers, the confusion and lack of concrete answers was part of the…

Knowing Nolan I’m waiting for some other dumb shoe to drop. Like all season I kept waiting for the Maximus flashback to reveal that a BoS knight shot and killed his mom or something and his statement that he wants to “hurt those who hurt me” was a hint that he’s working from the inside (which would also give…

1. I didn’t say anything that wasn’t stated prior to 6. I kept it relatively vague. “the truth about Dane” is a fucking spoiler? Seriously? Okay, bud.

I definitely agree that it was handled differently and better than Westworld. But it’s still a lot of his same impulses, which I can’t stand.

“a nonstop thrill ride” is an opinion and therefore perfectly acceptable. Showing footage that doesn’t make it to the final edit isn’t an opinion. And advertising might have *become* a creative product over the years but creativity is not actually inherent to advertising. The purpose of advertisement is to tell…

So you’re not saying it’s right or wrong, just that I don’t have the financial means to argue it in court. And you’re wording it as a sarcastic, dismissive threat. Cool!

True!

How about we start with “Footage in a trailer must be present in the finished film.”? I don’t see how that’s “impossible to design”.

To briefly broken record here: the pacing and characterization issues are hallmark Jonathan Nolan bullshit. He’s never met a needlessly drawn out character revelation or plot twist that he didn’t love.
