I’m not going to watch anything Kevin Smith makes again until he agrees to stop making that same fucking stupid face in every photo. 

I know I, for one, demand that any sequence involving Bruce Wayne’s parents and jewlery occur in slow motion so that we can fully understand what happens.

I’ll give it to you that Tennebaums’ the closest he’s gotten to making a movie with substance, though I think that has more to do with Gene Hackman’s performance than the movie. Same with Life Aquatic, which rises above the twee, at times, thanks to Murray.

All four of the songs released before the album were so bland and lightweight they didn’t even pass into memory.  I loved each of their albums more than the last, and none more than Currents, but this is a massive fail.

It’s a MASSIVE disappointment. I’d give it a D- as compared to his other outings. The biggest criticism? It’s boring. All adventurism has been dropped to the wayside, and now Parker is turning out mid-tempo, tired tunes with bland lyrics. It’s so bad in comparison to his earlier work, it reminds me a lot of the…

“All fashion, no substance” is the literal definition of most every Wes Anderson movie.

He would never be allowed to make one any more than an MCU director would be allowed to make a Wes Anderson movie.

Yeah, except those other filmmakers movies often have something to say, and stick with you after you watch them. Anderson is like afternoon tea—enjoyable, diverting, and instantly forgotten.

At this point, Anderson is the high-minded, visually intriguing MCU:

Such blatant trolling. In a time when MAGA-driven gun violence is at an all-time high, let’s make a “both sides” movie where she show the left being the violent gun nuts.

So Mulan doesn’t have the funny Dragon and doesn’t have the awesome bad guy.  Sounds serious and boring.

My wife and I got divorced last year, and my kids, ages 7 and 10, though this was the best movie ever.  They called out the dated aspects (“Why can’t the dad cook? The mom doesn’t have a job?”), but were enthralled.

Harley Quinn is like Black Widow or Arrow Boy: she doesn’t have any powers, I just can’t believe she’s pulling off the shit she pulls off (and manages to stay alive).

And you should check out the name of the movie to which I’m referring, which is presented as the VVitch

I mean, this looks like a bare knock-off of the VVitch

I don’t think that word means what you think it means.

You’ve certainly got your brand.

And congratulations to you for being a smug dick for no reason.

I did some digging after these posts, and I learned two things:

No, I definitely agree with your take on the movie. It seems to be presenting a tale of female liberation, and then at the end kills her for being liberated. The message seems to be “stay in your box” (or maybe “don’t go chasing waterfalls,” haha).
