Not sure I got it well. They’ll go “Lamplighter is a good guy deep down because he regrets having killed two innocent children” and skip the years spent incinerating kidnapped human guinea pigs ?

Why ? As healthy sports go, free solo and pants ferrets have much in common.

Come on. How old do you need to be to start learning that foreigners eat weird stuff, that fire will burn your heart even if it stays outside of you, that your model and protector may turn against you as soon as he drinks the wrong stuff, and that all that crunches isn’t cookies. 

I first thought you meant the ferret.

Because I’m very horribly dumb, I misposted this under an article about pants ferrets :

Aaarghraah. And getting back to the mainpage, I was “wow, there’s a lot of pants ferrets, today, on the AVClub”.

After having inflicted myself the whole of Marvel Civil War, I’ve read the DC equivalent, Injustice (year 1-4), the videogame prequel tie-in. Which I found a bit more interesting and more honest than Civil War. More interesting because of the core moral dilemma (should omnipotent beings enforce peace and security at…

I’m fascinated by chameleon actors. Actors you barely recognize from one movie to the other, each time looking like a different, incompatible “true self” that you couldn’t imagine able to play differently. And Chastain is one of the best at that.

Also, for some reason at the 3:00:10 mark there’s a 2-minute insert of some kid doing “magic tricks” which is really just a reversed video.

I didn’t like it much at first, but now that he’s got the freedom to add one more hour of it with a different t-shirt, it will be awesome.

They’re sticking wings on other people than Michael Keaton now ?

Yes. That was precisely Moore’s argument. He found Bond ridiculous and refused to play him seriously. He was already mortified by the grit and seriousness of For Your Eyes Only (he hated the cold way Bond kicked Locque’s car down the cliff). Other standards.

As a rule, you shouldn’t do pushups at a funeral.

I see it as broader than nolan-derivative. It’s a general darkening. Started a bit with Frank Miller and with Burton’s “festive gothic”, but broody grimdark badass is all over the place, and became the standard for action movies. In parallel, Bond went from Moore to Craig. Everything is Bourned. Because it’s the end…

Ass has to be kicked with urgency. But framework redefinition is the only way to keep the kicked ass from coming down again.

Absurd dissociation. If I’m accused of being a reptilian under a human skin (or of being a mere human by people who fancy themselves reptilians), I’d prefer this lie to be denounced than having a charter define human/reptilian relations. It’s not a game that could be played and won, the game itself is a loss. Of…

Except that money has a function of exchanges facilitator. Racialism brings nothing. There is zero reason to support this construct.

Denouncing racialism for what it is (an outdated scientific fallacy) is less “ignoring racism” than fully endorsing and promoting racialist categories is.

Sounds a bit like making a Holmes film about a young girl solving riddles and doing kung-fu.

The exact same way you “tell it” to a nazi when he’s shoving you into a train car. You’re muffled, you die, and in what way does it make him correct ? WW2 allies should have racially split their own societies between jews and non-jews because of the war against antisemitism ?
