Joking aside, he’s great in The Last Seduction - he’s a terrible person but not a dupe (or at least as much of a dupe as the lead dude) and watching him be stuck in this position of being the asshole who happens to be right is a lot of nasty fun.

The Last Seduction is a diabolical thriller, not a rom-com!

I like how you list The Last Seduction as a rom-com!

Um.....she wasn’t sidelined due to a Hollywood scriptwriter not knowing what to do with her, it’s what actually happened to Emily Gordon. It wasn’t a “decision,” it was the direct, real-life inspiration for the film.

That viral infection Emily Gordon came down with was awfully misogynistic.

Any creative project I see it involved with in the future isn’t going to be seeing any of my money, that’s for sure.

“I wish this story about a couple finding love had been a real-time horror movie about a young woman desperately trying to get medical help before her body succumbs to an infection! I guess I’m just that attuned to gender equality issues.”

“this is a story about how a woman’s suffering is secondary to the self-actualization of the male protagonist”

I believe Josh Trank did something similar to thank the people who saw ‘Fantastic Four’. Except he didn’t write a letter, he personally visited all seven of them.

Thankyou, IV. This is the kind of critical analysis you just don’t get at the New Yorker.

Goliath: Not always a measure of horniness, but Goliath had many children.
Benaiah, Jashobeam, Shamgar, Abishai, Eleazar, Adino: Not enough information.
Uriah the Hittite: Least horny. First husband of Bathsheba, cuckolded by King David. After Bathsheba became pregnant, King David unsuccessfully tried to talk Uriah into…

Beyond all that (which I think is an extremely valid analysis of celebrity culture), let’s look at J-Law’s post-Hunger Games choices:

I couldn’t stand Passengers but I kinda, sorta feel bad for her. I like her. She has a nice personality and she fights for some good causes. It sucks that the media culture exaggerated her *relatibility* and kept writing 400 articles about her and how quirky she is, which no doubt put extra pressure on her to maintain…

No it really doesn’t matter at all. Garland DELIBERATELY avoided the sequel. Whether it came out 5 seconds ago or if 75 copies of the book were mailed to his house before and during production, he clarified that he did not want information from the sequel to color his adaptation. That’s the only part that’s vital to…

B+? Ya gotta be kidding me.

Will I be able to understand this if I haven’t seen the Pink Panther?

I was rather unsatisfied with the climactic battle too. If your hero is gonna beat your villain with a single fight move, at least shoot that move in a clear and unconfusing manner.

I didn’t really feel like it broke from the Marvel formula. Except that Wakanda is a fully-realized world that we’ve never seen before, and this plus the fact that there are barely any other Marvel heroes to be seen certainly makes it feel like its own thing.

Right, which, again, is incredibly disrespectful to the idea of professional acting. The whole point of professional acting is that you don’t need the director to drive you insane in order to give an unhinged performance, but you can instead effectively portray insanity through your craft. Implicit in Kubrick’s goal…

In John Carroll Lynch’s interview with the A.V. Club, he compared Eastwood’s directoral style to jazz, something IV alludes to in this review—it’s not about doing it perfectly, it’s about the raw energy you can get from everyone trying to work together without quite being sure what’s going to happen. I feel like…
