God this is all so stupid

I don’t think people really knew this movie existed. If they did, there would have been a much bigger uproar from the bigots lol.

Wow, it did so poorly that it’s due to become another studio’s biggest flop? That’s some serious collateral damage.

since we’re playing editor and pointing out inaccuracies:

So- me, only child, grew up on a farm in the middle of nowhere. Watching the trailer I was instantly reminded of a similarly soft-spoken neighboring farmer who would stop by and slowly ask if my daddy was around. And he’d always say daddy. Naturally I always assumed he was going to murder me.

You didn’t have a FlameKid 5000 growing up? Sorry your parents didn’t love you.

See my fan fictions

Oh you’re still using the old transistor shower curtains, aren’t you?  Get with the times, grandpa!

It’s not just AV Club. Every single GMG site does this now. I got banned from Kotaku for making a joke about how lazy it is.

drives engagement by having folks argue in the comments, plus they don’t get paid enough to write pieces with any kind of research involved

That’s not what I meant - I’m questioning if Albie’s genuine. On The White Lotus it would be subverting expectations for him not to have a “twist”. Sensitive, enlightened guys can be insufferable jerks like anyone else. Maybe he thinks he’s entitled to Portia’s affections because (he believes) he’s the type of guy she…

I’m rooting for Ke Huy Quan & Brendan Gleeson. I’d be happy for either guy.

I’ve been following this very closely because I work as an software engineer at another big tech company. I can tell you with 100% certainty that there was no master plan, there was no end game, this is just simple incompetence on Musk’s part.

My suspicion is there isn’t one. The whole thing has a very impulsive, off-the-cuff feel to it, from the initial offer to retracting it to abruptly giving up on retracting it when it was clear it would be a legal pain in the ass. Every move he’s made and instantly cancelled fell through because of very predictable…

Your forgetting Academy Awards mandate 227/5.4
“Any actor whos performance is based upon a real person, and wears prosthetic make up that required a length of time to apply that will be commented upon by chat show hosts across the land. Shall automatically receive a nomination.”
So Hanks is in.  

My vote for what it’s worth would be for Ke Huy Quan because both he and his film (Everything Everywhere All at Once) were exceptional.

“The problem is Disney has its foot on the industry’s neck! Its shapely, alluring foot ... so firm, yet so supple...”

I love both most Tarantino (give or take a Death Proof) and most MCU (give or take an Eternals), but the 80s had so much to love - most of Spielberg’s Indy / ET prime, Empire, Blade Runner, the emergence of James Cameron (Terminator, Aliens, Abyss), the Coens, Lynch with Elephant Man and Blue Velvet, Raging Bull plus…

Look, I’m forward-thinking - I accept that people like her didn’t choose to celebrate christmas, and that they were just born that way. What I don’t understand is why they just have to be so flamboyant about it. Like, can’t you do your christmas stuff behind closed doors, and not throw it in all of our faces? I’m…
