Yes, clearly if they had ever watched one they would know they’re great! Or maybe they have and they don’t like them

“Anyway, The Harder They Fall is going to star Jonathan Majors as an outlaw who discovers that the man who decides to reunite with his gang for some old-fashioned vengeance after finding out that the man who killed his parents (Elba) is being released from prison.”

I think people like Van Peebles putting these movies together themselves is still the only way to guarantee that they won’t be sanitized, though. Sanitizing and bullshitting is what Hollywood tends to do. Especially when it comes to people as vilified as, say, Assata Shakur. MLK was widely hated by whites in his day,…

Am I the only here who’s seen the Mario Van Peebles movie Panther? No one seems to acknowledge that it exists. 

Superheroes are what’s *popular* in American comics, though. I don’t think it’s false to say that the mainstream American public is more close-minded than that of Japan or Europe.

Or both. There’s a lot of meta-commentary in the episode - they literally use the term “meta-commentary” in their meta-commentary - and this is an issue which Dan Harmon addressed specifically in real life before. In that context, it certainly works as commentary while also being a joke. 

To me what saved it from that is that is that if the hologram is sentient, which it was, then it actually kind of had a point. It’s ridiculous because in the real world an hologram isn’t *alive*, but in a world where it is, of course it has things to protest. 

Rick and Morty is actually creative, so I’m sure he’d like it.

Also, maybe this is obvious, but the part where they yell at Summer at the end for “ruining” the premiere seems like commentary on the people that claimed that the new woman writers and /or Summer’s occasionally bigger role “ruined” season 3 or whatever.

Ray J’s not a rapper, he’s a R & B singer. 

He didn’t finish them because he couldn’t stand them. That’s reason enough for him to say so when asked. Just a few days ago I tried watching a Friday the 13th and stopped it around the 40-minutes mark because it sucked and there was nothing about it that made me want to keep watching. I’m not going to write an…

He’s said “I tried to watch a few”, not “I’ve never seen one”. Your whole point is based on a mistaken or dishonest representation of what he said.

Nobody’s putting their “heart and soul” in those movies. They’re formula-driven, committee-made movies, and they’re all mostly the same, just like all McDonald’s food tastes like McDonald’s.

He’s made documentaries about cinema, why would he stop “talking about movies he’s not a part of” now just cause it makes fanboys mad?

I guess technically it means the movie could be nominated for the other Oscars, and the same would been true of non-American English movies (ie UK, Canada, etc.) all along? And that French movie, The Artist, was able to win Best Film because it had no dialogue. But yeah, logically, if they changed the category’s name…

Alzheimers, though? It makes you forget shit, it doesn’t make you racist. Unless he’s just recently stopped being racist and forgot all about it. My uncle has alzheimers. He doesn’t yell at people and he doesn’t use racial slurs.

Easy answer: no. Every country with a cinema industry produces gangster movies. South Korea has made some of the best gangster movies in recent years. Triad movie were big in Hong Kong in the mid-’90s. The most popular genre of cinema in Japan in the ‘70s were yakuza movies. Some of the most significant French and…

I think it looks great, and I would love to fight it in Dragon Quest. Matter of fact, give it its own Splatter Master-style platformer.

Counterpoint: fuck that noise. CEOs and quite a few politicians are sociopathic by nature and don’t need movies to tell them to be. Mafia leaders and gang members might identify to a degree to gangster movies, but it doesn’t mean they wouldn’t be doing the same things even if they didn’t exist. Most gang members were…

Hopefully.
