And of course Mistress in Twitter is bragging about it. 

Adding to that, did a bit of online search fearing that this would be steered into “white girl tears when confronted with a non white and user her privilege” and it was on my first results in twitter looking at “bullying loosey”. So many years of racial discourse have achieved just normalising abuse as some kind of…

Call it college life, call it most of my adult life

I tried it like 10 times and every time I had to leave it. The original FC feels awful, just a feast of shiny colours and sponge bullet enemies who do not seem to be affected by your shooting in any way. Plus absurd checkpoints. I am never going to reinstall it again. 

Heaven’s Gate grew on me to become a masterpiece the last time I watched it on Price Charles Cinema. Hate it, hate Stallone, hate everything, safe there, in your dark dusty corner of hate. 

Stuart Gordon, that man who started as a champion and almost mentor for David Mamet and who always took acting and theatre seriously.

and has a glorious score from Richard Band, an incredibly talented guy underrated only because of his brother, and who gloriously spins on Smetana for the title track. 

yeah, basically they are, but with a few different stylistic choices and some subtly different tropes.

Oh, no, I disagree: you never separate the art from the artist, as that is what makes the art as it is. And the Weinstein figure actually makes “The Burning” a good item for analysis as a milestone for the slasher genre. You have to own it: The misogyny is part of the discourse of The Burning, and part of what it…

Can relate to your semi negative relationship with pop - I just hate the analysis of most pop culture artifacts by fans, and it makes it impossible to enter in any area, and ultra difficult to learn anything new. I like to dig in science fiction (an area brought down by a reliance on a canon that I think was dubious…

The Burning, written by Harvey Weinstein and impossible not to read his misogyny in there! But it’s great I agree.

Not going to argue with the selection, going to argue with the “hear me out” tone.

I hated most of these movies at the time, and love them or appreciate them now. Above them all, Hook. I hated Hook so much at the cinema, and I really don’t know why. 

People seem to forget that Silence is based on a book of Shusaku Endo, a Japanese writer, not an unknown or overlooked book in any way, and already adapted by Masahiro Shinoda in 1971. And I say that “tend to forget” because that movie was seen as another colonialist piece of cinema, and I recall one of those twitter…

Though everyone involved seems to have fun, I never felt someone as far away from the script and the tone as what Richard Donner does in there.

It does if you count the volume the words are shouted. 

my theory is that the placements were based on the feedback from the interviewees. So that is why Marcia did not come out as badly.

Cannot wait to see it

As one of the few people who watched HEALTH and one of the even fewer one who defend it, I would say that yeah Quintet may be his worst, or Dr T. 

JRPGs derogatory and discriminatory? All the gaming history articles are heavily skewed into putting overimportance in the Japanese development as if it was happening isolated from the rest of the world and... it is a derogatory term? Years of Japanese games in general and visual novels in particular being released…
