Listen, I just want this movie to respect me as an adult.

There’s a very strange parallel between this “let me re-cut this until it gets awesome” and the other guy’s “let me re-count this until I get elected”.

rolling him across a garbage dump and giving him the old Katamari Damacy treatment

Laaaaame. That’s, like, Batman for little kids. Snyder is making a Batman vs Superman for adults. In that one, Batman and Superman do steal.

Yet the scene immediately following it has Batman burn a man alive and likely killed a bunch of people.

Yeah. I’ve been feeling all the weirder as I’ve spent years complaining that star trek had a trillion spin-of and by-products while the much cooler star wars had just its three movies. And, hm. That’s an embarrassing complaint in retrospect.

Also, no truly manly conservative political rally would be complete without a Freddie Mercury song. 

ANYTIME YOU’RE PUTTING UP BARRIERS IN YOUR LIFE, YOU’RE LIMITING YOURSELF.

I think the main thing that always made me dislike the Animaniacs is the cynicism with which the Warner Brothers reappropriated cartoons and cartoon characters that exist almost in spite of them. People like Chuck Jones were working in their corner of the studio, vaguely tolerated and vaguely despised, struggling…

Same thing when cops beat up protesters I assume.

Ok. Dolly Wells is my new favorite everything.

Ok so here is my theory.

It could be interesting if done seriously and without stakes, and I doubt Fincher is in the best position to do that. But there would be a lot to say, between the omnipresent “help i’m being repressed” of far right populism explaining on all medias that they are muted, the actual attempts to silence cultural critique…

Will I say it ? I will say it.

Hey, when I said we don’t remember anything from the sequels, I wasn’t begging for a reminder.

no, I don’t know why it’s called that

It embodied it but it didn’t start it. You had already the death of Martin Riggs’ wife (it was all a conspiracy), the reason for all of Indy’s traits, and countless “explanations” of Sherlock Holmes and Dracula...

Fandom hates that, Hollywood hates that. Evocative mentions, that give a sense of a broader world, are just gaps to be urgently filled in the must unimaginative, sterile way (many Bothans died to bring this information ? so, Bothans are SPIES, obviously a RACE of SPIES, let’s build on that). It’s just material to mine…

Well, they’re not adapted from the same book at all.

It was the first time Hollywood had gone back to a long-assumed retired major property, and even though the new entry sucked, it also made bank.
