Some shitty singer you’re better off not knowing.

Nah, I mean relationship stuff. There’s a lot more talk about love triangles and people cheating and so on than people having sex in terms of actual running time, even if it seems like the sex made a stronger impression on you. I could have done with less Angela, even though her character isn’t all bad, and I was… Read more

Soft porn? It’s a solid gangster drama that just happens to have a bit too much romance. I don’t think it has more sex than like... Game of Thrones or whatever. I don’t know why avclub never talks about it - it’s better than at least 2/3rds of the shows they cover, easily - but I suspect it has to do with the writers… Read more

I forgot I’d seen it until now, because it was just that average. 

If The Joker went around just killing women (after a woman wronged him, say), I’m pretty sure that would have made it exactly the offensive incel movie some people claimed it would be. 

Personal insults are wrong, but insulting entire nations, religions and ethnic groups as she does is fine and respectable? What a ridiculous hypocritical piece of shit you are.

Nearly 50 games? There are over 100 games based on Dragon Ball. Where you just counting North American releases? Can you not count at all?

Speaking for myself, I didn’t learn to distrust the rich in college, and no one “taught” me class consciousness. Of course we can’t go back and talk to the commoners of the time, but I’m convinced that any person who is oppressed long enough, no matter ignorant they may be or what they may be taught, knows on some… Read more

Do you think that the vast majority of the population, who weren’t of noble rank, weren’t aware that the nobles were oppressing them then? The implication that I’m judging her by modern moral standards suggests that you’re identifying with her class rather than with the regular people of her day, while the truth is… Read more

Yeah, it’s really “cool” that that piece of shit murdered countless random sailors who had nothing to do with her husband’s death just to pursue her little beef between nobles instead of, you know, trying to actually attack whoever had him executed.

Sounds like you should be playing Nights: Into Dreams.

Both lead roles should be played by Adam Sandler at his hackiest, with obvious wigs and bad accents.

What the fuck are you talking about?

They use the force to get rid of the shit while it’s still inside of them. Jedis don’t play.

It’s a third adaptation of something that was adapted extremely well the first time, it’s completely unwarranted and they keep doing that shit. It’s worth criticizing.

She’s a fucked up meth head with nothing to live for. Bigots who don’t care about their own lives are the most dangerous.

This. Hausu was a big hit in Japan and launched Obayashi’s career as one of the ‘80s most reliable hit-maker. Modern American entertainment is so boring and clichéd and uncreative that I guess anything that isn’t comes off as “inept” to some people. Read more

Al Pacino yelling is one of the best things the movies have produced

This is completely true, but I find that his movies work in a crowd if you let yourself get manipulated. I went to see Death Proof and Inglorious Basterds with friends at the theater and had a great time hating the bad guys and seeing their comeuppance along with the rest of the audience; I watched Django Unchained at… Read more
