I don’t mind the Russian shit that much. It’s fucking Bonnie that I hated. Fuckin’ Bonnie.

No, it’s not.

Yep. Specifically, they attempt to install an implant to stop his fits, but it actually ends up making them more frequent. It’s easily his worst work (and I actually don’t care for any of Chriton’s work, really).

Don’t forget Terminal Man: killer epileptic (back when people thought epilepsy could cause murderous fugue states).

Local food systems are not automatically sustainable, and in fact, are often more intensive when it comes to fossil fuels, fertilizers, and pesticides. It’s honestly better for the environment to ship food from places where it’s extremely easy to grow, rather than try and grow things in less optimal climates.

That looked okay. So, how are they going to royally fuck this movie up?

And then a Crank/xXx crossover!

Aw, they even used the same hospital that mysteriously exists in Central City and Star City.

“I can’t think of any symbol worse than a skull.”

The Punisher parts of Daredevil were so good the rest of the season was kinda garbage when the focus went off him. Elektra and the Hand were a complete and total snoozefest.

The ending of “DUI” was incredibly predictable, but in the moment, I was totally surprised. I was impressed at the way the episode got me to lower my guard and turned a hoary trope into an honest surprise.

Just Johnny Cage. He and Trump have a very similar line of attack.

Iron Man was totally a slacker!

Marvel doesn’t have one formula, it applies various formula. Each film, taken on its own, is a rehash of some basic instance of the action-adventure genre. I mean, how many of them are rehashes of the “Slacker/schlub learns what it means to be a hero”?

Why do they do this? Because it sells, obviously. A billion dollar…

Did I say that they all had the same formula? I said they were formulaic. I said they were paint-by-numbers storytelling. But I would say that Ant Man, Iron Man and GotG all have pretty much exactly the same story arc for their protagonist. They are changed by the experience of the story in pretty much exactly the…

I’m not sneering at anything. Well, no, I’ve been sneering at the DC films, because they’re terrible messes and utter failures. So, sure, I have been sneering, but I haven’t been sneering at Marvel’s products. They’re products. They’re well design, well executed products. They aren’t pushing the boundaries of cinema,…

Suicide Squad and BvS were too incoherent and nonsensical to be “assembly line”. The entire point of an assembly line is that you have a functioning product on the other side. Maybe someday, DC movies can aspire to assembly line quality.

I think they were talking more about the specific films than the overarching structure of the MCU. Each film has been a pretty routine, by-the-numbers affair. It’s assembly-line cinema. While the scale of the assembly line is ambitious, the widgets coming off that assembly line are just the same basic products that…

Bernie Sanders thinks regulated market solutions are a sound economic strategy. If he’s a Socialist, I’m goddamn Chico Marx.
