oh, i don’t plan to. Always thought he was overrated, just curious why anyone else would want to, when there’s lots of other blandly handsome middle-aged white dudes to cast. 

does he though? Thats the puzzle - has he had a successful comeback? Honestly hadn’t noticed.

duly noted

thats a feature, not a bug.

for real tho: why does this awful person keep getting redeemed? Or is his awfulness a feature, not a bug?

ok, i dug around and see that he confessed that he should have cast more Afro-Cuban actors in In the Heights. tbh didn’t notice that in the movie, but i don’t know from the real Washington Heights, so i didn’t have a reference.

will look into it but honestly, i don’t remember any white actors in In the Heights. Do you mean the crew was mostly white?

why, whats he done? (Honest question, never heard anything negative about him)

Do it, it’s a great screen with fantastic sound. There’s a dull but serviceable fake English pub on the corner opposite, and they’ll get you fed and watered and out in time for the start of the movie. (Or Mama’s Pizza is a few blocks west on the same street, if you fancy a good greasy slice)

So New Gods was Thor redone for DC after he fell out with Stan, and Eternals is New Gods after he got fed up with DC. Basically, we need a giant mash-up of Thor/New Gods/Eternals and insert “take my money” gif here etc etc

if you’re ever in Toronto, there’s one right downtown. (Pro tip: only take a seat in last 4-5 rows, and only in the centre.) Try it, the picture quality is amazing. First Man blew my mind. 

if the Eternals movie is really beautiful production design and big weird fights interspersed with awkward dialogue scenes, then that sounds a lot like the Eternals comic that Kirby created.

yeah, thats fair, though ironically Kirby’s work became way more crazy than most mainstream comics (his Eternals is completely batshit)

lot’s of great moments in Thor: that weird grunt-yell that Hopkins does when he reprimands Thor; Sif’s fight with the giant robot thing; Thor’s comeback; lot’s more. It just doesn’t hang together very well, and i’m not sure why. But it’s really good fun. 

i harumpf-ed when i read your comment, sir and/or madam. Harumpf-ed, i say!

is the problem that Marvel is imposing form on the film-makers (the production designers, composers, cinematographers, costumers - everyone, not just the director) or it that the form of a superhero story? You could ask the same question about the comics themselves - many artists look muted when they have to grapple…

Whaddya mean?*

i broke my arm once, and a few days later, got into a cab with the cast on. The driver looked at me and said, in a heavy island accent “you HAVE to have a good story.” I recited the inscription on that gravestone and he nodded and said “thats good...”

nooo... oh no.... but if i wanted to, i could!

it’s brutal. They both deliver the lines so perfectly.
