Agreed.

It’s a generally well-made movie in most aspects (writing, acting, direction, all the technical stuff, etc) that is absolutely unnecessary because it does almost nothing different than the Nolan films. Not that Nolan’s films were perfect, but this new flick is so similar in style, themes, plot, and characterization…

Unrelated: but just got around to watching The Batman.

I’ve been re-watching them with my 7 year old and the first few “seasons” are just crap. They only get good midway when the Legion of Doom pops up.

I understand the motivation behind the current Blue Beetle project, but man, it would have been cool to see a light action buddy comedy with Ted Kord and Booster Gold.

Next you’re going to tell me the Ambiguously Gay Duo has also been canceled.

I mean, an entire production was shut down. People lost their jobs. It might be a little important.

The reason all this hurts so bad, is because many of us have been reading the AV Club since the 90s.

Wow.

This was definitely reported as being a female process server, but such pesky facts would fuck with your obvious intentions here, wouldn’t they? You didn’t write ‘a process server’. No, you wrote ‘a man’, as if the term itself is inherently repulsive. How dare ‘a man’ inconvenience a heroic empowered professional…

Dou you know how you prevent shit like that of happening to you?

When a process server look for you at your home address or office you receive him or make an appointment for a later date, instead of trying to avoid and dodge it, because that’s how you get this kind of situation. Respect the job of the others and they…

Bill Murray has always struck me as kind of a jerk but he's also been in so many good things that people are willing to look past them. Glad the post metoo system is sort of working here

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Yes, this is Netflix, but it’s also Mike Flanagan, and after the surprise allegations against Timothy Hutton, another star of one of his Netflix shows, he’s not going to risk being accused of not taking this seriously.

None of this is based in reality. Be quiet, and let your betters talk.

For asking women if he can masturbate in front of them? Have you ever had a girl proposition you? I have. I didn’t want her thrown in jail for it. Co-workers have propositioned me, who had the power to end my employment. I just said no.

“Melville on acid.” That’s good. Moby Dick is kinda freaky though. Other Puritan tales - are you thinking of The Crucible or The Scarlet Letter? Can you mention some others that I’m not recalling? The Witch is one of the creepiest takes on Puritanism that I think I’ve seen: a family cast out because they were actually…

Speaking of the Ukrainian landlord - that scene where the daughter brings Peter a piece of cake and a glass of milk is one of the sweetest things I’ve ever seen in a movie. No sexual tension - just a nice person doing something nice for someone who needed a bit of nice just then.

I know he’s doing the oeuvre with Strange, but having a clean slate to play with in DC with John Constantine would be amazing.

“Kevin Feige gave Raimi a pretty long leash”
