Just a quick note, Saff was misgendered by the show and uses he/him pronouns (I read a followup interview; he didn’t explicitly identify as trans, but said he prefers he/him)

A big problem with Snyder is he kept making Superman movies that don’t like Superman.

That being said, it’s interesting to hear him get so in-depth on his process throughout the film, and this makes it abundantly clear that he really tried to put some thought into how he wanted to portray these very well-known characters in his own way.

This seems as good time as any to once again say that Alien: Isolation is an underrated gem. Is it perfect? No. The story is nothing noteworthy and the game drags longer than it should, but it does so many things so very right. The retro future look. The creepy mannequin robots (who are incredibly polite with their…

“It’s like when people act like Y2K was a whole lot of nothing.”

Yeah, I’m almost 50, but was involved in Y2K work in the late 1990s (yes, it was as tedious as in Office Space). Bad things didn’t happen, but it wasn’t that there was no problem, it’s that we actually prepared for it.

I genuinely feel sorry for all the programmers who worked on making sure we were all Y2K compliant by 2000 and now have people thinking they didn’t do a damn thing because it worked. Some of The Kids these days don’t even know that the Millennium Bug was a thing.

What up, fellow wonk! I love Knowledge Fight and am pretty active in the Facebook group. Man, Jones was hammered at CPAC. Pretty sure “He went to bed” was code for “He’s passed out in a dumpster covered in his own vomit”.

There’s an episode of the podcast You’re Wrong About that covers Jessica Hahn and Jim Bakker; he apparently sent another minister into the room as he left, and that guy also raped Hahn. Then a third guy came in, but Hahn managed to talk him out of raping her. It was fucking crazy.

‘Ham-golem’ is a fantastic description of Jones. *golf clap*

Can’t believe the son of Toblerone is this much of a knob.

So there’s going to be two different versions of the same movie with the same actor but different directors?

You’ve just reminded me of that Onion classic from when it used to be in print.

I looked this movie up just to see what it was about. I’ve only seen shit movies from him. Does he have any good ones? Anyway, Trump is listed at the bottom of the credits, underneath “the dog.” Was hoping he’d be in the “other actors listed alphabetically,” but I can work with what’s there.

“that Charlotte O’Brien* was a great American! Am I right?“

See, I don’t for one second think “South Korean movie shouldn’t win Best Picture Oscar” is even his own opinion. It’s a talking point of the alt-right white supremacist Twittersphere that someone on his staff whispered in his ear.

It’s funny, as one could tell from the trailer, the redesign fans demanded won’t make this an even passably mediocre film. When can we start leveraging twitter vitriol to re-write scripts.

*remembers the reactions to Star Wars and Justice League

I admire your commitment to the gimmick.

I just want to point out that anytime you start a sentence with ‘George Lucas said...’ that what follows next isn’t necessarily and most likely isn’t the truth.
