I think you’re trying to provoke enough eye rolls that you knock the Earth of its axis from all the collective torque involved, and we don’t take kindly to supervillainy round here.

Also why we don’t take kindly to Elon Musk.

We also don’t take kindly to those who don’t take kindly to those who don’t take kindly Elon…

I can guarantee you, since “business development” and “culture consultants” have access to the C-suite, that that is absolutely not where the cuts are going to happen.

There’s a lot of folks here who find economic concerns “distracting” from their dubious theorizing and pontificating.

All this devil’s advocating boils down to “Guns don’t kill people, people kill people”.

WE FUCKING KNOW. SO LET’S REGULATE THE GUNS AND THE PEOPLE BUYING THEM.

It’s interesting, because the other reviews I read basically say that he’s confronted with the idea of not killing, and then repeatedly saying “Nah, bruh” and killing a LOT of people, then getting cheers from the people of Kahndaq for it. I don’t want to say it’s refreshing, exactly, hehe, but it’s at least a critique…

It is instead what 1950s scientists who never took a writing class named the fictional materials that could do everything they needed to create a particular theoretical device or structure. So, originally, it was literally “And Then A Miracle Happens”: The Metal. Which, to be fair, is pretty close to the same kind of…

“ Black Adam is a movie that would have you believe that the aforementioned country’s population would chant “champion” at the guy who helped demolish most of their homes and buildings.”

I keeping seeing all the critics say things like this as if they didn’t live through January 6th. If you don’t understand how many…

As much as it makes us all covfefe.

Pretty sure this is how it went:

Agent: Do you want to be in Eli Roth’s next sack of shit?
VH: Wait, do you want me to be in Eli Roth’s next sack of shit?
Agent: Not really, but it’s being paid for by Facebook, and they’ll back a dumptruck of cash up to your door just to dress in a fairy costume because they’ve never…

At least your shame involves getting fungible objects with some form of permanence. I probably spend that a year on getting bar food delivered by Uber.

OMG that’s it. Thanks you, internet eldritch horror!

I forget where, but there’s an interview with them later in life, maybe from the late 80e or early 90s, and she’s talking and he is just gazing so intently at her, and then she gesticulates near him with her finger, and he tries to bite it.

And I was like “Awwwwww”, then I was like “These hot old people fuck”.

Oppositely, one of my top moviegoing experiences was seeing the Uwe Boll adaptation of Alone In The Dark, with everyone else in the theater leaving because they were way way way too sober for what was contractually obligated to happen on screen.

Perhaps. But in this case, I think they actually changed the entire character of the mother to fit her. That’s where the sideshow of it comes in for me. They were in the process of developing the project and were thinking “What would depress a midwestern teenager and the audience identifying with him?”, turned on…

No, this is technology we can only dream about in the Not-Too-Distant-Future (la la la).

You say that, and sure, it’s easy to snarkily dismiss the concerns of internet randos as cruelty.

But then I think of What’s Eating Gilbert Grape.

There, the screenwriter and director essentially saw an episode of Maury Povich and said “I WANT TO EXPLOIT THAT FAT MISERY” and cast the lady they saw in the episode,…

This particular criticism seems to willfully ignore or even dismiss the playwright’s own experiences that informed their writing, and presumes a lack of research that doesn’t seem to be actually apparent in the actual production, certainly given the work Aronofsky and Fraser seem to have done.

Now, I can understand a…

Countless aspiring actresses do get typecast, and it’s precisely why they don’t get actual cast. When hundreds of writers and producers are looking for a “Scarlett Johansson type”, and few of their auditioners actually fit what they’re looking for, their type has prevented them from being cast. It’s a producer and…
