The real world isn’t saturated in color, dumbholes.
Then what’s the point?
Look, back then, the only one to go around WITHOUT shit all over him would have been the king.
Just curious which movies do you have an issue with how they treated female characters? Admittedly I haven’t seen all of their movies but Frances McDormand was the only person who wasn’t a complete idiot in Fargo and Julianne Moore was a strong female character in The Big Lebowski.
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times: The real missed opportunity for Universal came back in 2000. Instead of adding an annoying kid and running back the same-but-terrible Mummy Returns, they should have taken that winning Fraser/Weisz/Hannah trio and churned out a franchise of Indiana…
“As is often the case, Robin Of Loxley (Taron Egerton, from those dreadful Kingsman movies) has been conceived as a nobleman drafted into the Crusades.”

EXACTLY. This was a lousy example for both sides of the misogynist fence to fall on their sword over. I blame the irate Internet douchebags first and foremost who just loathed the thing before ever seeing the final film, but I also throw some blame over on Paul Feig and Co, who quickly latched on to any criticism as…
Sure you can.
Remind people that even if you replaced the cast with men (and got rid of the female-anatomy specific jokes) the movie would STILL suck.
Honestly, I don’t even remember the plot. It just wasn’t good. I was never really on board with it. Not because of the male/female thing...but because it was completely unnecessary...and they pretty much proved that.
It’s a shame that there’s no way of saying that Ghostbusters is a lazy, sloppy, jumped-up SNL sketch without instantly finding yourself in the trenches of the culture wars alongside Milo Yiannopoulis.
The MOST I can say about Rocky V is that it was pretty much a dry-run for the tone of Rocky Balboa years later. It’s like the model home to the latter’s finished mansion.
“Rocky IV, the thinnest and cheesiest entry in the saga so far”
I keep waiting for 78 year old Bert Young to show up for an interview with the “Why am I dead in these movies?” question.
I don’t think III is problematic with respect to race. It’s unstated, but still underpins a lot of Lang’s anger towards Rocky - that he’s this charismatic white hero who is being protected from truly dangerous fighters who come from nothing and box out of desperation.
Rocky IV finally humanized Drago a bit at the end. He’s the USSR’s great hope, and has been pumped full of ‘roids and trained to the exclusion of everything else by a Soviet leadership that treats him more like a military asset than an athlete. But once Rocky and he are exchanging blows he tells his cornerman he’s not…
Absolutely. I can watch that movie endlessly, with a glorious grin the entire damn time. Rocky solves the Cold War by punching! It’s beautiful, insane, and so damn funny.
What’s all this badmouthing Rocky IV? Cmon:
Does the son of Paulie’s Robot also appear?
