Someone start an entirely nude playthrough with hogs out and let us know how it goes in the comments.

It's a twofer: condemning Israel's actions must necessarily mean you're antisemitic, just as supporting Palestinians must necessarily mean you support Hamas.

That’s a fine point to make about so-called progressives actually rooting for Hamas, but she’s not really trying hard at all to make a distinction between Hamas and regular Palestinians, so that’s a problem and I’d say pretty racist.

For fuck's sake, no American progressive is supporting Hamas.

“It’s those kids who are spewing this antisemitic hate, that have no idea if they stepped foot in an Islamic country—these people who want us to call them they/them, or whatever they want us to call them, which I have respectfully made a point of doing—it’s those people that will be the first people beheaded and their…

“Because Jews, they rally around everybody.”

This is one of the many reasons I’ve started collecting blu-rays and 4k discs in 2023. 

“as someone who plays a lesbian journalist on The Morning Show”

“As someone who plays a lesbian journalist on The Morning Show, I am more offended by it as a lesbian than I am as a Jew,”

As someone who watched the movie Yentl last week, I feel I’m in a special position to know that . . .

That combo of the way she says “BLACKS” and her fighting not to call us ignorant was really something.

That’s kind of heart-warming, in a way. I wouldn’t have thought a studio would exclusively hire legally blind people for its executive suite, but it sounds like I was wrong.

The bit about studio notes made me think of the X-Men 3 commentary track, where I learned that Lauren Shuler Donner had to have several meetings with dudes from the studio who were convinced that the audience would not find Rebecca Romijn fuckable if she was a brunette during the 2 minutes of screen time she had where …

I feel like it’s been accepted for a while that MCU directors don’t have final say on their movies, except for a few exceptions (Russo’s, Gunn, Waititi, etc.) that get trotted out every time. At best, there’s been a sense that Marvel Studios exerts a lot of pressure on directors to conform to their house style. And…

I know it’s a mug’s game to try and predict what films will be beloved classics in ten years’ time or whatever, but I have a feeling (and am definitely hoping), that once the dust is settled, and we’re beyond all the clickbait articles about What’s Wrong With Marvel These Days, people will look back and see ‘The…

No they aren’t. That’s the producer. A director can (and in several examples has) have their movie taken away from them.

For me it’s not superhero fatigue. It’s “spending money I can’t really afford to go out and see a movie” fatigue.

All of the MCU movies have extensive reshoots though. I could’ve sworn they even bragged about it at one point. Last-minute reshoots were highlighted in all those articles about how bad crunch is for Marvel’s VFX vendors. It’s probably why these movies cost so much money too, which is why they need to make so much…

More than superhero fatigue, it’s a mix pushing-too-many-characters-in-a-short-amount-of-time-without-giving-a-big-enough-reason-to-care-about-them fatigue.

Holy shit, what a dick.
