1) Pew pew. Pew pew pew. Pew.

Ehhhh, there were savage cannibalistic tribes in real life I don’t think that’s “deeply racist” when the movie isn’t positing the British are super superior

She does address that when she points out that you cannot reproach someone to speak out “too late” or use time as a reason of distrust. People process what they have endured at their own pace, even if with frustrating results (being silent when it would have helped most, or, the opposite, refusing to speak out when…

Aw. Don’t discourage Snyder.

“Satanic worship meetings” with anchovies.

Yes. That’s how you explain the screams to those in the waiting room. It’s all part of the conspiracy.

Dunno. The main appeal of Pacific Rim (apart from the deliciously bombastic soundtrack) is seeing giant robots in ‘live’, realistic-looking format, as opposed to the million drawings of them we’ve seen, especially in the anime genre.

It is, and doesn’t have much more value than a Trump having heroically called his thugs back right after having praised their assault of the Capitol. In a two-slots system, it would not be easy to shove Snyder in the “cool guys” one.

It is about the movies. The AVClub’s universe is even more black and white than Snyder’s ideal vision of a children book adaptation. If you thank Snyder for his support of suicide prevention organisations, it means you wish superhero movies to be all about slo-mo dismemberment under church music. You traitor.

Worse than the usual worst, here. I usually just click on the “list slides” button, but this one lists the directors names instead of the announced films-to-watch. So, unavoidable slideshow this time.

We won’t make it.

How “interesting” ? It’s a point I make in all instances of twitteric mob wraths. Of course I keep repeating the same thing. 

Mais c’est quiiiii Ririiii ?

I disagree. I find it nice and relaxing to see, for once, people not jumping screaming at conclusions on the basis of one keyword and a pre-existing narrative, not reacting with the usual internet “I know everything like I was there, I know it even better than the protagonists”, and actually showing instead some…

See, Grievous is what happens when you don’t get your droids vaccinated.

Not sure. For a same attitude, a person may be described as either “white” or “angry” (neutral, contextual qualifiers, a punctual state), and another as “angry black” (an essence, an identity and a loaded one). Like an man’s accepted attitude on a given moment can be “typically” “hysterical”, “bossy” or “arrogant”…

Can’t judge about 1). But disagree about 2). The fact that Cyborg could not be central is a thing, and not a problem in itself, but the fact that “angry Black man” is given as a reason is, if true, a genuine problem, that makes this centrality itself irrelevant.

Hm. Okay. I’ll test whether I can survive that.

Does it have songs ? I’ve always been terrified by the idea that disney characters could start singing at any time, but it doesn’t happen in every movie does it ?

How come we never see Barry Allen in the same room as The Jiffy ?
