If he ended up in jail because he made a sacrifice for someone else, I think I’d be into it. There’s pride to be found in that. 

It is not revisionist history to say Weinstein fucked with multiple final cuts to the detriment of a movie. His ability to sell is also mutually exclusive from his ability to edit.

Is it the bare feet? Lots of passionate responses in either direction about feet.

So I like Rucka, Smulders, and Johnson enough to give this a shot. 

Right

I had trouble with Rant. I don’t like that style of novel.

You seemed to be using scare quotes on the word truth-based

What are you talking about? The question wasn’t “Isn’t he still kind of suspect?” The question was “Didn’t Madonna deny the domestic violence allegations?” She did. I don’t what the truth is. But she did. I have already agreed with Cura Te Ipsum that it is indeed complicated. Whatever else you want to read into is…

Then ”Yes” is the answer to the question

I’m sure it is. I just answered the question though.

It is a weird thing that jokes are not always seen as such in-narrative. I’m surprised this doesn’t occur more often. It works so well here to establish quick chemistry.

Apparently it came out in May, not that I remember.

Laundromat seems like a glaring omission.

And my #1 (edit button didn’t work just now) Blindspotting

Haven’t finished everything I want to see yet, (Beale street not even out near me yet) but some of my favorites that didn’t make the list: Thunder Road, MI Fallout, Spider-Verse, Widows, Annihilation, and The Endless.

If you take the muscle lines out of the Green Lantern suit and fix the mask, it would have gone over better. I like the general concept that it is a construct, because if it’s made by the ring why wouldn’t it be. The mask probably should have just been a Kyle Rayner mask. The pinholes looked bad and when his eyes…

I didn’t really get Cap until the MCU did him. I definitely expected more Dudley Do-Right, and instead they have leaned into a Frank Capra-esque everyman. Virtuous and dignified because no one else will, maybe so no one else has to be. It’s so great for him to exist in what is otherwise an age of anti-heroes. His…
