Ah, the Cartman Gambit, as it is known in technical circles.

The ship has been interned by a belligerent foreign power. Based on my understanding of The Sea, the honorable thing would be for the crew to scuttle the Ever Given rather than let it fall into enemy hands.

If they’re considered abandoned after 2 months, that’s the same for the cargo, so they can check out what's in the containers, right?

On first glance I read it as Final Battle. Even after reading the article it took me a second to realize why you thought it was Anal Battle.

If the goal is to differentiate from Subaru, that seems counter-productive.

They could try lifting it and putting some black plastic cladding on the wheel wells, I hear that’s pretty popular.

I know he’s a grown man and all, but these style of pap photos always remind me that these folks never get a quiet moment when they can just walk their dog in peace, even when they are masked.

The scene ends with Michael Keaton waking up next to Adam West.

I qualified for the vaccine because I’m technically obese so thank you, Krispy Kreme, for making sure I qualify for the next one as well.

I don’t think rhythm method acting is a thing.

“Mmmmmm, begins, the Batman does.”

It actually went to HBO Max last, starting at the other services and going backward in time, and some of your friends say it was the best decision ever, even better than Rises Knight Dark The!

Seeing Tenet at home with closed captioning will improve the movie immensely over seeing it in a theater. The sound is terrible. Understanding what people are saying is difficult. Worse than Bane and then the masks make it even worse. I do think the humor in the movie works well.

This pretty much sums up my exact feelings on this film, particularly

I get the sense at least part of the initial positive response is thanks to the power of:

This movie just exemplifies the main problem with the DCEU and further illustrates why they never should have put Snyder in charge in the first place. Instead of setting up the characters and this world over several movies to build up to Justice League, they try to cram way to much into one movie. And they’re teasing…

I say this with full acknowledgement that my view is about the least relevant one there is, because I’m not interested in either version of this film (but, because I’ve been bludgeoned by its recent coverage, I’m now weirdly invested in the way people become invested in shit reality TV). But I can’t help thinking:

…

Maybe we can slap on another epilogue, where Batman wakes up again, now played by Christian Bale, and we can say this whole thing was a dream and then never speak of it again.

When I was in high school, I had a teacher who told us: “If I give you a three page writing assignment, I’m going to knock off a letter grade for every page over three. After five, I stop reading and if you haven’t said what you need to say by then, you get an ‘F’.”

i was shocked at how exactly the same it was. it made me mad that whedon could be credited as director of the original release! he barely changed anything!
