Don’t start that shit again.

I love that therapy speech so much.

Hey, that’s great news. Me and my very average IQ are looking forward to being entertained by another round of episodes of this funny, well-written, imaginative show.

I finally got into this show over the COVID summer, and indeed it’s pretty damn terrific, though I found I have to watch it in small bits.  I was not prepared for how dark it could get at times, and bingeing it actually got a tad overwelming!

It’s not that common (it’s notable whenever it happens because the sheer amount of money it wastes, contracts it complicates and union red tape it involves are immense), certainly not to the degree of it being considered standard practice, and it’s absolutely not common for a director on their third entry in a series…

As many have pointed out elsewhere, considering Nike’s overseas manufacturing practices, it seems highly unlikely this is the first pair of their shoes made with drops of blood. Or children’s tears, for that matter.

Apparently, from the same company Nike Air Max 97s are decked out with 60 ccs of holy water sourced straight from the River Jordan and injected into the soles (so you can literally walk on water like me), a crucifix, red insoles to call back to Vatican traditions, and a Matthew 14:25 inscription. They’re also scented…

Or, in Shin Godzilla:

Seeing how elevated horror has been effectively able to use genre to tackle societal issues (as does sci-fi), I think it’s a little disingenuous to hear people decry that humans shouldn’t do anything but scream and run away in kaiju movies. Gojira certainly was a somber take on post-nuclear Japan, and I hope some…

Yeah, the remaining io9 writers are pretty hard on franchise content that isn’t part of their collective MCU boner. Remember when it was a great site for fucking book reviews?

What happened to Zack Snyder during the production of Justice League was legitimately shitty for a whole host of reasons and I’m glad he was able to get his film made properly.

Don’t forget the “Someone to gravely explain who Godzilla is/why Godzilla exists/what we did to the earth to deserve Godzilla.”

you do need a few humans to explain who these creatures are and why they’re tussling like drunks outside a bar on St. Patrick’s Day

I am pumped for this. Lean into the stupid, give my eyes some candy to munch on, and let’s all just have a nice time. It’s less than 2 hours for chrissakes, that’s AMAZING. That means they knew what movie they wanted to make and cut a lot of fat. Thank fuck.

I’m happy it’s unserious, the last one was too much seriousness. Like I was supposed to be emotionally invested in these big cgi animals. This sounds more delightful.

She may not have gotten much of the Archer humor, but she was absolutely terrific delivering her lines as Mallory—a tough-as-nails ex-spy/Parkiest of Park Avenue Upper East Side Karen.

I also love how in the Archer grand prix episode, she informed the maître d’, “This isn’t my first Grand Prix, you know.” That was one…

This “Haha, The Snyder Cut is stupid and long and everyone thinks it is stupid” narrative you’re pushing seems kind of weird and tone-deaf when the movie’s got a fresh critical score on Rotten Tomatoes, and a 96% audience score after more than 25,000 votes (and an 8.4 on IMDB!).

I mean for all that I have a problem with Snyder’s approach to Superman and the like, I’ve not heard a word about him being an asshole to anyone on set. Actors seem to like him or at least be okay with him. (The acting in Snyder’s DCEU films has a very “posed” quality but I guess he knows how to get that without…

Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy might not be remembered as fun necessarily, but you should give the scripts a read (or re-read.) Alfred is nothing but quips, Bruce has a smirk on his face like 60% of the time and big swaths read like episodes of Frasier.

The Whedon version of Justice League was trash upon trash. This review, and early feedback make it sound like this version is in line with Man of Steel and Dawn of Justice. Which means there is a good chance I will enjoy it. Hooray.
