As much as I’d love to see Mr Fantastic and Iron Man onscreen together, this is much bigger than watching all our favourite Marvel characters in the same franchise. This is all about media plurality and choice.

You’re basing this off a single anecdote. As a minor, she had legal guardians there. Sometimes one side think something’s a joke and the other doesn’t - that would have been the point for parents to step in, if this was truly making her uncomfortable rather than just shy.

I know it’s partly about keeping things in perspective and understanding where our priorities lay (clearly the right of individuals to be free from abuse and harassment far supersedes art), but as someone who has (a) been abused, (b) worked, often quite fruitlessly, to get justice for abuse victims, and (c) regarded…

just a few weeks back, I was thinking it was time to rewatch LA Confidential. Missed that window...

I didn’t say I had to, I said that’s how I feel.

Yes, both sides are to blame.

On the one hand, this is shitty behavior and a sucky apology and there was some victim blaming shittiness surrounding it.

And there you have the problem with “ironic racism.” You may be intending to make fun of “actual racists,” but to the person on the receiving end of your comments, it can be no different than if they’d gotten those same comments from an actual redneck. I mean, honestly, what is the difference? Whether you’re mocking…

I actually interviewed Lexi Alexander, the Warzone director a few years back and she explained that she went with campy, over-the-top violence specifically because she wanted to push the film out of the realm of reality.

I found it to be incredibly satisfying on every level. I don’t think I’ve been so instantly and thoroughly transported and engrossed in a movie since the first time I watched The Shining (and every time after that).

As has been mentioned elsewhere, $32 million would normally be a great opening weekend for an R-rated, 163 minute long sombre SF film, it’s just unfortunately for Blade Runner 2049 it has an MCU-sized budget (the same thing happened with Ghostbusters last year, which did perfectly well for a Paul Feig comedy film, but…

“least appealing actor in a very prominent role” ... ? The Gosling? If you’re talking about the Gosling I think he did a pretty good job. He needs to show tempered emotions, an overall weariness, confusion, and not be too expressive. He pretty much nailed those qualities.

I liked that the film never answers “Is Deckard a Replicant?” question. I loved that it was basically about how it didn’t matter (just like it it doesn’t matter if the dog was real).

Yet he isn’t the single creative mind on the matter. The writer of the film, all the cast members, and pretty much anyone who’s ever been involved OUTSIDE of Scott have said they disagree. This, on top of the fact the Scott-produced sequel, sanctioned by him in every way, has that same writer, and a co-writer who…

And yet, neither film makes this plain. And both actually take some pains to make the issue unclear. So while it may be Scott’s world and vision, he seems consciously to have left the interpretation of Deckard’s status up to the viewer ...

Having seen the movie twice, my understanding is that Ana sold this memory as a fabricated one to Wallace. When probed about the use of real memories, she responds, rather coyly, that using real memories is illegal, but she made it clear that she longs for her false memories to breathe life and comfort into the…

Ana did. It’s the “putting yourself in your work.” It’s also why she’s sobbing. She just realized her tiny act of rebellion really, really messed K up.

It must have been Ana who did it, as it was her memory.

After Joi was downloaded to the emulator and the backups destroyed, she asked that K break the antenna on the emulator so that Wallace Corp would no longer be able to track her. That’s when the blip Luv was looking at went off, and then she went to see K’s boss.

Actually that’s a bloody ridiculous analogy. “If you haven’t given the Big Bang Theory at least half a season, you havent given it a fair shake” would be a better way to put it. You posited watching 132 episodes. We’re talking about a 26 episode series, beginning, middle, end. BBT is still going, Bebop has been done…
