We get most of each story, and what we get is well-executed, but the film’s two-hour runtime leaves a lot of emotional and thematic threads dangling.

Saw them at the Hard Rock Las Vegas 20 years ago and couldn’t agree more. What a show. The crowd was buzzy and engaged and excited the whole time and they were just so raw and punk-ish and were playing almost in spite of the crowd; like we weren’t even there and they were playing for one another.
I am in agreement with Stephen King’s theory, “If someone is paying you to do what you do, you’re good enough.”
“She and Sudeikis split their time co-parenting, yet only one of them has been regarded as an “absentee” parent.
Just as long as we don’t see any ancient Jedi temples with magic powers that extend far beyond anything ever seen in regular Star Wars stories (Filoni’s most frustrating trope), I’ll be okay.
Ugh. This is the same line of thought that’s led to the Marvel backlash, isn’t it? “I liked this thing, so this other thing is going to suck.” It amuses me that at the time I’m writing this, every single response is some variation of “uh, no, audiences are adults and can recognize that more than one thing can be…
At others, the show comes after Meghan in a way that could potentially be seen as a step too far, depending on where you stand on this whole affair as well as the general tone of South Park. “Isn’t it true, sir, that your questionable wife has her own TV show and hangs out with celebrities and does fashion magazines?”…
Same author, same day:
I’m not really sure this is “beating a dead horse” considering it’s the Academy president talking at an Oscars luncheon about the organization’s response, and how this impacts the Oscars going forward. Seems like that’s exactly where it would be still relevant to bring up. Beyond that, I’m sure Will Smith would like…
While they can speak to similar issues of representation, I’m not sure Azaria voicing Apu (and the question of whether voice actors need to match, loosely or precisely, the ethnicity or background of their characters) actually relates much to changing the backgrounds or traits of a live action character (you could be…
The fact that Necessary Roughness and The Replacements isn’t on this list is a goddamn travesty.
Couldn’t disagree more with Rudy being #1, but I know I’m in the minority so I can accept it. HOWEVER, how do you completely leave off Necessary Roughness?
It’s one thing when your competition is She-Hulk on Disney+.
So to be honest there IS a lot of variety there. There was no way they were going to convince DC to ignore Superman and Batman entirely. You are getting Swamp Thing, Supergirl, and The Authority, and a bunch of stuff on streaming. Nice to finally get Robin back, maybe with a much better take than in the past. I only…
“But the TV shows have mostly felt separated from the films, which is a problem from a structural standpoint.”
I like this comment. I will use it to jump on a landmine. I’m sure someone could use an excuse to yell at a stranger on the internet today.
But that also sounds like it’s kind of the point of the joke; this guy thinks he needs to work in a Blockbuster of all places in order to become a filmmaker when he’s got a plethora of much better options available to him.
Or they had m9vie geek parents, duh!
Hello, I used to work for Blockbuster back in high school (which thankfully means I have absolutely no nostalgia for the company, it deserves everything that happened to it) and I have a story.
Because I felt like commenting, and because providing that further context might have helped me understand more clearly where the reviewer was coming from.
