I think the comment section of this website needs to confront the fact that the reason why this website fucking sucks is only half the actual writers. A solid 50% is the comments. This is a perfectly fine article, stop trying to act like a joke article represents the end of quality pop culture media. It was never good

I loved RTD’s first run and while there were missteps (farting aliens, anyone?) what era of Who hasn’t had those? It was an exceptionally well done 21st Century update of an iconic piece of television and its strength set a tone that’s allowed the show to continue on for twenty years (and who knows how much longer

Speaking of our old pal Bud: “I don’t have kids myself, but I do have a training program for up-and-coming executives, and that’s basically the same thing.”

But was it called "Lords of the Rings"?

“put pressure pon [Tom Holland]’s head... to say something, ANYTHING, about the disgusting racial abuse being thrown at our angel Fran.”

I guess to me it felt like it had a blackmail-ish element to it because she pitches the idea and he says something like “Thank you for this amusing diversion” in a dismissive sort of way like he has no intention of granting her request, and that leads to her gambit of talking about how his actions make no sense

Given its intensely personal nature, any faults in The People’s Joker are nearly indistinguishable from its appeal.

For me, the Great Unfilmable is Gene Wolfe’s body of work, particularly the Book of the New Sun novels. They’ve got plenty of action and translatable visual spectacle, but everything that makes them really special, from the unreliable narrators to the beauty of the language to the time-travel shenanigans, could not

He’s the guy the GOP has been pining for since Tailgunner Joe got taken down, there’s absolutely no way he was going to face a single consequence. 

The trailer makes it seem like it’ll go the ultra-reverential Ghostbusters route, but hopefully they have some madcap comedy in here.

The only thing I remember him from is Pacific Rim, which was a bad movie he something managed to be the worst part of by a gap so large a Kaiju could sneak through it

Ehhhhh... Gonna slightly object to including Lock Stock on a list of QT wannabe films. Like what are the qualifications for a QT wannabe? Casually violent action and an emphasis on banter-y dialogue? Cuz that’s pretty vague. And while I see the parallels between Ritchie and QT I think he’s proven to be his own

to be clear, Paul Feig’s Ghostbusters was terrible. It had nothing to do with the casting (all very funny actresses) and everything to do with the slipshod CGI, even more slipshod humor, and general lack of fun.

...wondering if that means Mariko has been to Blackthorne’s bed. (We’re wondering, too, after the last episode.)

The original was so over the top silly, which is what made it so entertaining.

Do kids even know who Popeye is? I feel like the character was a 1930s relic that somehow barely survived into the ‘80s, and only because of the movie and a video game that was a rip-of of Pac-Man.

A by-the-book actioner that’s sunk by indifferent performances, muddled storylines, and stilted dialogue.

Jake Gyllenhaal strikes me as a weird little theatre imp (in a positive way) who also happens to be willing to be superhero buff. I’d disagree with people who say he doesn’t have charisma, but it’s a more malovelent, mischievous charisma - his intensity in films like Zodiac or Nightcrawler is amazing, and then on the

Yeah all these posts reek of “first draft” more than they do AI. It’s clear that even the most cursory of copyediting is not happening at all. Awkward turns of phrase like this, names misspelled multiple different ways within the same post, etc. It’s just stream-of-conscious typing and hit PUBLISH, no other steps.

They have no money to pay for an editor. Let alone multiple of them.
