If this happened in our world there were would definitely be pro-Thanos people. They might even be a major cultural/political force

i mean there has also been 45+ years of star wars. these are also not hard and fast rules, sometimes it just feels like too much, whether it might technically be more or less than something else.

I love love love that they gave him his hearing aid from the comics.
Obviously they went over it a tad less violent than the books, but it does add a wonderful splendor to the character that yes, he is indeed human, vulnerable, and still getting up to fight and being funny about it.
That’s our Clint :D

So no interest in my spec-script for ‘Porkins: The Early Years’?

If nothing else the chemistry between the two leads is excellent already. Not sure about the tracksuit mafia as a threat but they seem pretty funny.

Overall, the LARPing scene didn’t bother me, but I did find it bizarre when he said “This is my only chance to be a hero.” Like, sir, you are literally a firefighter! One of our most universially celebrated heroic professions!

I like the whole vibe of Clint going around being annoyed at all this shit he has to deal with when all he wants to do is go home for Christmas. Like LARPing and Tracksuit Mafia and Kate being Kate and not helping. He fought Thanos. You can feel the exasperation. And the undercurrent of guilt under all of this - both…

“While there’s clearly something going on with Eleanor, her fiancé Jack (Tony Dalton), and Jack’s uncle Armond III (Simon Callow), it seems like that’s going to be rooted more in the show’s central family theme than in some giant global conspiracy.”

I think Book of Boba Fett is where I tap out. I’m happy to see Ming-Na Wen won’t be wasted in the SW universe but I can’t add every tertiary character’s spin-off to the must watch list. At some point it becomes exhausting.

You could tell she was going to be a star when she was a kid in True Grit.

Weirdly all the wrong lessons were learned from Daredevil S2, which I think had the strongest structure of any Marvel Netflix show.

“a reclamation effort has improved the film’s reputation in the years since its release”

Is the proper term for Smith's children "Willenials"? 

I don’t think medieval-set movies do all that well usually, unless they’re fantasy.

I want to see it. Just not in a theater during a pandemic.

Am I out of touch because kids don’t want to see a historical epic based on an obscure French incident set against the backdrop of Charles VI and the Caroline War?

I thought both The Counselor and American Gangster were underrated. Gladiator and The Martian seem pretty universally liked. I think Exodus is the only movie of his that I’ve actively disliked, but I haven’t seen them all.

I feel like The Departed gets some stick as not being great, it absolutely fucking is.  Perhaps it’s not Scorcese’s great movie, or even in his top 5.  But it’s fucking great.

Unforgiven

I wonder if everyone has a different definition of what a movie star is than I do. I don’t necessarily think a person’s celebrity has to eclipse their acting ability, but I do think there’s more to being a star than just being a very good actor or even a very prolific one. It’s not a proper metric anymore, but I think…
