RT has this one currently sitting at 35%, with an average score of 5.4/10. Yikes. And RT scores typically settle in lower in the end, too.

No disagreement here - but that's what defense lawyers do. They frame events in the most strategically favourable light for their client.

If you haven't heard of them before, you should read up about "MGTOW"s sometime.

Is it time for me to get out my Trump supporter bingo card yet?

I had a long-ish response written up to you, and then Disqus crashed and I lost it all. I'll just re-write the last bit:

All of those romantic encounters that were thoroughly unenthusiastic…?

I've seen plenty of them on the internet. I used to try and engage people like this, and explain why they are painfully ignorant, but I realized it was a waste of time.

I disagree - I've noticed an undercurrent in more than one AVClub article about this case, passively excoriating his lawyers for having the temerity to do the job they were hired to do. In this case, calling them "unclassy" for trying to use this dismissal to their advantage, as virtually any defense attorney would.

In a sense, yes. The actual abuse allegations aren't what they are at trial over - she's trying to get out of her record contract, because of the allegations of abuse. "Dr. Luke" is obviously saying it never happened. The courts have thus far said that unproven allegations aren't a good enough reason to legally…

That darn unclassy lawyer, making exactly the kind of statement you'd expect almost any defense lawyer on earth to make about their client - particularly when they are still in litigation for the same thing in another state.

Sharknado was NEVER good. "So bad it's good" movies only work if they are made with 100% sincerity - which is why some of the best examples stem from incompetent foreigners trying to write to some non-existent approximation of what they think American culture is like. The Room. Samurai Cop. Dangerous Men. Troll 2.

Pedantry aside, my point was that they are included as post-credits toss-ins, precisely because they are not meant to be integral to the story of the movies they are in. They tend to be either gags (Howard the Duck, Shawarma), or teases about what the future could hold, before they've nailed it down (Nick Fury in…

It isn't storytelling, hence why those scenes have been relegated to post-credits scenes, which are just teasers for the future.

I thought he looked great in the Avengers post-credits scene, with the grin. I thought the colour of his skin looked a little weird in Guardians.

They HAVEN'T really built up his presence yet. He's had exactly one scene that wasn't post-credits, and it was like 3 minutes long.

Not only that, but they announced this weeks ago. The Russos came out during the press junket for Civil War, and said that each movie was going to be it's own story, not one story split into two parts.

Yeah, I recognized him immediately in the first trailer.

This is a good post, but the core problem persists - how does this get communicated to movie execs as "hey Chinese film investors, your Chinese-directed film set in China doesn't need to have a white American guy in the starring role"?

I have no idea if "the most money" is accurate or not, but I will agree that ensemble casts with no clear lead tend to have a bit more diversity in them.

The sounds like the kind of film people will ironically say "sounds amazing", but really sounds like it could be absolutely awful.
