I’d say most of those actor’s most famous roles are in movies uniquely American that wouldn’t travel internationally. Whereas Will Smith largely makes crowd pleasers, Ice Cube, Perry and Hart in particularly are most known in the US for comedies which are very much aimed at black America. It’s like wondering why Earnes…

It must be so difficult to write something featuring an underrepresented character such as queer black man. It can’t just be a story, it has to be “right” whatever that means. Hopefully with enough representation people will stop putting this sort of pressure on storytellers.

Turned into what kind of guy exactly? I know he’s religious and has been affiliated with some dodgy churches but he’s voted dem in the past so can’t be uber right wing?

Palestinians are fighting for their existence and at a certain point not acknowledging that existence makes you part of the problem.

This what we do now. We put celebrities in the good person box or the bad person box. Glover is still a good person in your eyes so you will cut him a small bit of slack, but soon he will say something that isn’t 100% right-on and he will be placed in the bad person box. It’s inevitable. It’s so binary and reductive,…

Episodic TV cannot be compared with the opportunities to tell over-arching stories now, completely different beasts.

“Birds of Prey was easily, I mean goddamn easily, the best DC film to come out of the post Nolan years.”

I didn’t enjoy District 9 as much as others but it was fine. Elysium was dreadful. And then I went into Chappie expecting to hate it and somehow it won me over.

I think it was her way of saying she didn’t like the novel. And that’s fine too!

A bit simplistic. He does have a family he’d like to protect. Violent authoritarian regimes use that fact to keep people in line. That is like saying refugees that flee their war torn lands are cowards who should stay and try and rebuild, easy to say.

Yeah I don't think you understood the end (or Mulholland Drive). They even had one of the characters say out loud "everything that happened on the island happened" to avoid confusion.

I wonder what his reputation was like within the industry before this blew up. His lack of credits is surprising considering he starred in one of the biggest films of that year, I would have thought casting agents would have been lining up to hire him.

To dismiss such a character as an ‘incel’ because of modern culture war bollix is so reductive. He’s a sad, socially awkward lonely man who has never been able to form meaningful relationships. More of a tragic figure. He’s had never harmed anyone, seemed relatively caring to his ageing parents and who uses his…

Adapting books is difficult. The mountains of bad adaptations shows us that. Usually people would get credit for doing a good adaption but instead these guys get retroactively shat on because they couldn’t stick the landing.

Either you use the word ‘hate’ way to liberally or you need a truck load of perspective. Just don’t like something, move on, and leave the hate for people who actually do something to deserve it.

The whole thing is such an ugly culture war mess now. Never liked his movies (even the supposedly good ones) and to me he is just wrong for Clark Kent (even his Bruce Wayne was a bit of an idiot). But I genuinely hope his followers like it (who am I kidding, of course they will) but I hope everyone else just ignores…

I’d be surprised, I know people like to drag on Whedon these days but in general actors have very positive things to say about his sets. And I’m not just talking sets, I spoke to a actor last year who said working on one of his films was the best experience she has had and that those close to him felt he handled the…

The name Akiva Goldsman does not please me. We can talk about structure, ideals, tone etc... till the cows come home, but when people like Goldsman and Kurtzman are running the show I have zero hope of seeing a product I will be interested in.

I worded that simplistically, it is a Mike McMahan show. But it is made by Kurtzman’s production company and he is in charge of the whole CBS Star Trek conveyor belt so he will have overseen it’s conception, hiring, and from quotes he seems somewhat involved in decisions. So it might fail in new ways but that is not…

It’s definitely a Kurtzman show. While his movies and Tv shows replaced thoughtfulness for rapid paced, non-stop action. Lower Decks is a comedy show that replaces jokes with rapid paced dialogue and frantic performances.
