I’m convinced there’s nobody in the world who cares as much about Kristen Stewart being gay as she would like them to. It really comes off as though she wishes it were 1999 and she could be more oppressed and transgressive by being gay than the more-progressive 2024 will allow.

Can I still be a real movie buff if I think The Prestige is probably Nolan’s best, but I don’t consider it a great film?

“No, it’s you that doesn’t understand” seems to be the default take of Nolan supporters, not the far more obvious take of “dude isn’t as clever as he thinks”.

THEY “EXPLAIN” WHY HIS LAST NAME IS SOLO. FOR FUCK’S SAKE. LITERALLY NO ONE WAS SITTING AROUND WONDERING WHY HAN’S LAST NAME IS THE SAME AS A WORD MEANING “ALONE.” IT WAS JUST A COOL SPACE NAME. JESUS. GAH.

If taking drugs was like watching Tenet, nobody would take drugs.

But this weird thing where “we” (speaking loosely) decide that certain people (in this case, a director) are “geniuses”, and thus everything they do needs to be constantly reappraised and re-evaluated until that self-evident genius becomes apparent, needs to stop.

“Tenet” was... fine? I certainly don’t regret seeing it. But this weird thing where “we” (speaking loosely) decide that certain people (in this case, a director) are “geniuses”, and thus everything they do needs to be constantly reappraised and re-evaluated until that self-evident genius becomes apparent, needs to…

yeah if anything Tenet is pretty much all of Nolan’s worst tendencies rolled into one movie.

I love time travel movies, and the weirder the better. But somewhere along the way they need to make some kind of sense. Otherwise you just have a Michael Bay movie, where special effects and action sequences get confused for plot. 

This is... certainly a take.

Well, I have a lot of strong opinions about this series. Here, let me chain myself to this radiator while I explain how important it is you include the books in the town time capsule!  

The people at the top didn’t bring live ammo on set. The people at the top didn’t repeatedly leave the guns they were responsible for lying around unattended. The people at the top werent getting drunk and stoned while handling those guns. One person had the specific job of ensuring gun safety, ensuring that dummy…

So much of the site’s coverage of news seems to be based on the idea that there are people we should like and people we should hate. People we should like can do no wrong, and all criticism of them is unfair. People who we should hate are always blameworthy in all circumstances.

Sir, this is an Arby’s.

X-taclessssss...

What’s telling about the “Alec Baldwin should be held responsible, he was a producer!!!” types of posts/sentiments is that they literally never (not one!) say anything about holding any of the other producers on the project, of which there were seven (including Baldwin, along with 4 EPs and the line producer), liable.

This is an astonishingly sympathetic article about the person who was most directly responsible for a person’s death. I particularly like the assertion that Baldwin “has thrown a lot of his considerable clout toward pushing focus on the origin of the bullet, and away from any other factors that might have made Rust an…

I mean, Twilight is bad, but it’s bad and fun and harmless. I’ve seen one (the last, I think?) and it was funny-deranged and enjoyable. Madame Web wishes.

Yeah like, sure there’s tons of dysfunction on the set, this one low level person should not be expected to change invade working conditions, nobody giving a shit about proper protocol, safety, etc. I think that’s a reasonable take.
