I used to say they’d take any reason. But I didn’t realize “any” was that broad.

Now they’ve added above it : “PLEASE GOOGLE YOUR COLUNGUS”.

On l’a trouvée dans les débris d’une maison vide à ce qu’on m’a dit au lendemain d’un terrible incendie...

Seriously. Remove knock-outs, as harmless minutes-long losses of consciousness due to head trauma, and what is left of our action movies ? Nothing. NOTHING. It is the magical cornerstone of ALL STORIES. The root premise. The fuel, the currency of it all, without which every each action hero is either dead or a mass mur…

This is irritating.

Yes YES. This is a perpetual object of fascination and delight for me.

Woah, I feel I’ve already read this comment.

So that’s why he wasn’t asked to direct Ragnarok.

How else are you going to show people wielding magic against each other than with CGI blasts?

What confused me is that I really had the impression I heard Scratchy purr a couple of times, which I don’t remember any rabbit of my acquaintance do.

The most stupid thing about internet interactions and forums is that we don’t discuss with each others as individuals, but as imaginary conglomerates of “those guys you know which ones i mean” and “list of opinions I’ve read on the internet the last five years”.

No matter what song you pick, Tony Soprano will cry to it

From avarice to grooming in Molière’s plays, to caricatures of Hitler during ww2 (not to mention Vuillemin & Choron’s “Hitler = SS” or Benigni’s “La Vita e Bella”), to the ridicule militias of “Blues…

compile a comprehensive list of spoilers

It’s the exact same thing. The requirement of an inserted disclaimer pointing at the ridiculed character to clarify “this is actually the bad person do not be like that”. The age of literalness, the impossibility of satire (or even dark humor -humour noir- in general, as the evolution of Charlie Hebdo shows) when…

It’ll be interesting to see how people react to this story in modern times

But we’ve entered a world where Blazing Saddles needs a disclaimer to inform the public that the racists in the movies are the baddies.

A bit of a moot question, as the MCU is all about tedious comicbooky finales after enjoyable interactions and characterizations. Any movie enventually devolves into thirty minutes of the braindead pretentious kabooms that constitutes the essence of superhero comic books. That’s where they most look like comics pages,…

Close enough.
