Also ffs Ed at the end literally is wearing a 1:1 anime costume and acting/sounding exactly like Ed in the anime, and somehow that was unforgivable cringe. Wtf? Ed in the anime is also cringe!

It is vitally important to point out that the people who are trying to make the “James Bond should totally be a woman” thing happen do not watch, and have no interest in ever watching, James Bond movies.

You mean like how they had Sam Wilson become the new Captain America on a fucking streaming show and not in a major motion picture?

The real “Uncle” is, you guessed it… Frank Stallone.

I enjoyed this article. And I’ve always thought Kinja was a great platform.

The Tesla employees were the ones accused of racist conduct including using slurs and drawing swastikas in the bathroom. Tesla’s defense hasn’t been that their employees didn’t do it but rather that the n-word was used in a friendly manner and that they aren’t the same Tesla as they were five years ago when this…

Dushku’s been through the ringer. That comment is especially telling given what happened to her on True Lies, though maybe that was so beyond the pale it doesn’t even count. 

“This was beyond anything I had experienced in my 30-year career.”

So this is the same site that always complains about how cheap flying is, which is bad because no one should do it, now worried that flying might be getting too expensive?

Yeah, it was awesome for the few people who could do it. Then again, Orlove would be simultaneously happy if fewer people could fly, for the environment, and mad that it was all rich people.

On most routes it’s entirely possible to get a pre-deregulation flight experience if you’re willing to pay a pre-deregulation fare. But we’re all a bunch of cheap bastards. Airlines are not colluding to keep prices high. They’re racing each other to the bottom, because no matter how much they whine about the service, t…

For context: a cross-country economy-class ticket before deregulation cost $1,600

So what’s the income cut-off for being able to wear a Squid Game costume? 1o0K/year? 150? Or does it vary regionally? How do you plan on verifying? 

I thought Tony’s, Steve’s, and Banner’s character arc and development in AoU trumps any of the other Avengers movies. It’s the one thing that I really loved about the movie.

I don’t think so. There are plenty of legitimate issues with Age of Ultron. It’s always felt to me like they filmed the rough draft of a script. A vast majority of the character beats and conflicts don’t really come together and aren’t well motivated. It’s got the bones of several good ideas that weren’t really…

All of the complaints can be boiled down to:
* People get mad when you insinuate a woman might be sad over not being able to get pregnant
* A woman who spends time around men will complain from time to time about how messy the men are.
* Quicksilver dies.

For me, to (attempt) to put it into words, it basically suffers from many of the same issues that afflict the “events” in the comics - it’s basically a series of splash pages with quite weak connective tissue, quite a few characters only really appear as superficial versions of themselves, and it feels like it was…

The thing about AoU complaints is that they’re always very vague about what exactly is ostensibly wrong with the movie. You’re absolutely right that it’s jam-packed with really good scenes; it’s just one damn good scene after another. My only complaint is that it’s maybe got one too many setpieces; the Seoul section…

“it’s one of only two or three really good scenes in that entire movie” - No, Age of Ultron is jam packed with really good scenes; they just don’t cohere into an overall single story all that well.

Oh for fuck’s sake. Squid Game costumes DOMINATED Halloween this year, are you going to go after every single person that wore one or are you just singling out Chrissy because she’s the bête noire of the moment?
