This film went and got itself some corporate sponsors. They’re in it for the money, not the science!

I fucking loved my Zune.

Yeah, Snyder’s take on Clark’s parents is just fruit loops, Martha Kent’s whole “you don’t owe these people anything” pep talk is kind of sickening.

It seems like it would make an uncomfortable ethical problem less uncomfortable if you decide to rationalise an act with the potential to cause harm to others by deciding the testimonies of the people telling you they’ve been harmed are unreliable. I’m not on board with that at all.

Where do you think unauthorised sellers get retail keys from? It’s not from Steam because they don’t sell retail keys, and it’s not from the developer because then they wouldn’t be unauthorised. It shouldn’t be from charity bundles because it’s part of the terms of most if not all of them that the keys can’t be…

Is the ‘political headwind’ he’s referring to the fact that nobody gives a shit?

I’m somewhere in the middle of the rest of this battle, but man, what a terrible example this is.

Is a 9.9 movie bad? Because if you sold me 99% of a car I would stillthink it was pretty bad.

Captain Marvel is a bad film, full stop.

I love the faux-precision of “6.9, 7.2 tops”. Like you have some way of distinguishing a 6.9 from a 7.2.

That’s absolute nonsense.

The most profitable film of the year was basically a feminist screed.

Godzilla making #3 in what was seemingly a limited release is nice to see. 

happy to see people showing out for godzilla that was a ton of fun.

It’s made over $30 million more than Killers of the Flower Moon, so by your metric The Marvels was a better film than Scorsese’s latest.

Yeeeeeaaah, that’s what storytelling needs.. more bureaucratic oversight.

All of the MCU movies have extensive reshoots though. I could’ve sworn they even bragged about it at one point. Last-minute reshoots were highlighted in all those articles about how bad crunch is for Marvel’s VFX vendors. It’s probably why these movies cost so much money too, which is why they need to make so much…

Maybe it was, maybe it wasn’t. It was certainly more than 3 YouTubers (whoops, misread your comment); many reliable commenters here who saw it said it was a lot of fun. I’ve seen negative reviews that agreed that it was a fun movie, but that the flaws outweighed the positives. But even if it WAS bad (again, an opinion…

True, we need to encourage articles like this (and the interview with the actor who played Napoleon in Bill & Ted) because they are more interesting than the latest gossipy “celebrity X may have done something bad/said something stupid” article.

Nah; it’s his story, his characters and his world, and he was pretty heavily involved in the production even if he wasn’t on “set” much; it’s true that Sellick unfairly went largely unrecognised for years (until "Burton did nothing" became a cliche internet "truth bomb"), but Burton absolutely is the creator of it,…
