I hate this meme more than life, but I would have been mad if it hadn’t been here.

Yes! When I realized that Rice was not “in on the joke” of how awful Lestat was and instead genuinely thought he was AWESOME and was going to keep reiterating the “brat prince” stuff unironically, I bailed. (Years later, my mom got me the book Blackwood Farm because she read a review saying it was a ghost story, not…
I wrote my own “shark jumping” comment before seeing yours. :) For me, it was Lestat having a child that kind of made me wish he’d just stayed asleep! But Anne has also said she’s proud of the movies, and Queen of the Damned was like the WORST I’ve ever seen.
I’m really torn. I totally respect the idea of an artist doing whatever they want to do with their work.
I hate every ape I see from Chimpan A to Chimpan Green...
The writer of The Fifth Element has a new sci-fi movie coming out? Is there a specific protocol to throwing my money at him? Do I rubber band it? Or should it be loose?
Would somebody please get the plunger and finish flushing this country down the toilet instead of letting it circle the bowl? No wonder every movie sucks now. They have to spend most of their time worrying about this bullshit instead of doing their jobs.
Why is Burton required to change his artistic vision to do what fans say? I think fans are getting way too entitled. If you don’t like something, then don’t buy/watch it. Writers, directors, etc. are generally out to just entertain. When they worry about pandering to various people, it tends to lead to a lesser…
Reasons why your review is flawed:
I see a fairly stupid answer to a fairly stupid question. Fair.
A movie set in a fantastical 40's England with magic, and Sam L Jackson in it and theyre wringing him for lack of diversity? He cast Billy Dee Williams as Harvey Dent for fucks sake. All these “journalist” baiting everyone for an oppurtunity to be offended so they can write articles like this. Yeah the answer is…
In the 40's, in England, there simply weren’t upper class black people hob-mobbing with the rest of the upper class. Now, that’s horrible, but that’s also true. It’s true as well for most western countries. Why obfuscate, or pretend that those periods weren’t oppressive to non-whites? They were.
For Fucks Sake
I can honestly say as a long time sci fi and fantasy fan and a lifelong POC....I really don’t give a crap. I wouldn’t expect POC in this movie any more then I would an adaption of “All Creatures Great and Small”..I want more representation for people of Color and LGQBT folks...but we don’t have to an argument about…
Burton’s right. Either a part calls for something or it doesn’t. If it’s written that way, awesome. But squeegeeing diversity for the sake of diversity in rarely improves a story. Make that never improves a story. Obsessing over it all the time is probably mentally unhealthy as well.
That’s a whole lot of words to say absolutely nothing.
The guy changed characters from the book just so he could have the opportunity to work with Samuel Jackson.
The guy makes a good point. This obsession with “diversity” is both sick and unhealthy.
So the death catalyst is the difference? I’m not trying to be snide, I’m genuinely curious. It just seems to me like regardless of the method of control, zombies are people who feed on other people and have no higher brain function.
