“Some of us started getting laid as soon as we felt like it” - That’s not what you said though. You said you’ve never known not getting laid.
At all. Which would imply you never had that ‘I feel like getting laid’ in the first place, since that would imply not knowing what getting laid feels like.

Unless, again, this is…

Speaking from experience, that still doesn’t guarantee things - faith-based films, for example, will inevitably have higher user scores since most general people won’t seek them out, and the ones who do are usually the proverbial choir being preached to, so it’s right up their alley regardless of whether it’s a good…

The prequels still take my vote for favorite tone shift -
Anakin: “Fuck the bureaucracy. Someone should just slam their fist on the table and get shit done!”
Padme: “That’s not democracy Anie, that’s fascism.”
Anakin: “Should we call Chancellor Valorum and see what he thinks?”
Padme: “...”

(The really sad part being, Lucas…

“I have no idea what it’s like to not get laid” — like...at all?

So...you can accept a scientist transforming into a giant green berserker, a talking raccoon, a talking tree man, an advanced race of humanoid sci-fantasy aliens that became the basis of Norse mythology, a Nazi scientist living on in a supercomputer, a giant purple alien wiping out half of all life in the universe…

They’ve gone less from letting it shape their opinion to more trying to use it to back them via the ol ‘vox populi’ strategy (ex. citing what they refer to as a low user RT score for TLJ as proof it failed...which, again, sort of falls flat as an argument given the fact these review bombing campaigns have been pretty…

On the plus side, they had the good taste to give Best Picture to *checks notes* the guy who just flashed his dick at women.

...yeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh...

Honest question - are you secretly Glenn Close’s agent or PR person? Cause you are taking this surprisingly personally and, for insisting you bear no ill will to Colman, you seem to be going out of your way to take swings at her.

Every time.
Every bloody time I feel like this was cancelled and died quietly with a knife between the ribs, only to learn it’s still going and getting more seasons.

The blessing and curse of working nights.

To be somewhat fair to Thiel (loosely) it’s not just him.
There’s a whole weird pseudo-religious ethos in parts of Silicon Valley that basically believes in the idea of advancing science to guarantee themselves immortality (Live, Work, Work, Work, Die is a fascinating read in the first part for the desperate gold…

Prettymuch the impression I’ve had, yeah. For a movie Cameron spent a decade building up as his magnum opus, a lot of people, myself included, were surprised at just how rote and by the numbers this masterwork’s story turned out to be.

Usually people are quick to point out how that is a term actually used in some scientific circles for theoretical/nonexistent materials.

Having said that, if the past two years of news/politics are anything to go by, just cause something is real, doesn’t mean it won’t read as contrived and on the nose in a work of…

We’re kind of seeing a proof of concept re: Cameron’s strengths v weaknesses right now with Alita - another long-standing passion project he’d been promising to bring to the screen for years before finally handing the directing off to Robert Rodriguez.
To the movie’s credit, the action is well-directed, the CG’s good,…

...and like that, the Skywalkers become the Targaryens of the Star Wars universe.

Oh, it happened...
I had managed to forget about it for years - years, I say - but then I saw this and like a cliched flashback scene, it all came barreling back (...though if we’re being honest, my memory was of them doing it for The Thin Red Line. The point is - yes, that was a thing they actually did.)

‘guy in charge of the country’ - that was sort of the problem. As far as a lot of people up top were concerned, he had no business ruling a country he had never lived in and was gonna fuck up the whole plan to take the war to the surface that was the reason he was being called to take over in the first place.

This…

Prettymuch this.
It’s a movie that looked at the more fantastic aspects of the DC Universe and went “Yeah? What of it?” and just embraced them unabashedly.
After the painfully dour start to the DCEU it was a welcome change of pace.

Also...James, I know you like to act like you’re above these comic films, but it’s been…

hairfuck the animal into submission?

And then he went on to appear in Batman v Superman.
THIS is where you want to put your tacit endorsement, Neil?

On the one hand, there are people who will tell you that is technically a real term used in some science fields.

On the other, if the past few years have taught us anything, it’s that often things that happen in real life can, in fiction, register as painfully contrived and on the nose so that people don’t care if it’s…
