This isn’t new for CPM “articles”. He is like the Stephen A. Smith of Io9. If you just ignore him, you take away his power.

Thank goodness you didn’t take the time to post the context of what he was posting there - from the article you linked about what he was posting - or people might realise how bad faith your argument here is.

I’d highly recommend reading the article linked in this one. It’s a bit more thorough. This article is just a fucking hit piece that cherry picks the absolute worst takes on the whole situation.

My friend and his wife (a lawyer by profession, so she knew what she was doing) split up about five years ago. She made very similar allegations against him, right down to coaching the kids to say that he’d abused them, all of which were eventually proven to be totally untrue. He went through hell because of a…

yeah perhaps you’re right and I’m a horrible hypocrite. But it’s already competing with Voyage Home and Sarah Silverman, and season one was so fucking joyless.

I’m stuck on how dumb that “you can pilot a starship but you can’t drive” line is. It’s just... awful.

Wow they’re driving Fords around Los Angeles. This is exactly the sort of escapism which helped Star Trek become the classic we know and love.

“Okay, so we got a little crazy at the end of the first season. We basically used magic to solve everyone’s problems. How can we improve in season two?”

Maybe this Kurtzman guy gets it. :)

Later in the interview, Kurtzman stated he “wants to get much weirder” with the Star Trek franchise and begin “pushing the boundaries much further than I think most people would want.” He adds, “I think we might get there. Marvel has actually proven that you can. But you have to build a certain foundation in order to…

This article uses the word “schism,” and to me that implies a fight or a breakup. I guess I’m not necessarily seeing that in what Indie Wire wrote up, where Burwell expressly says “It’s all amicable” and that Ethan just wasn’t into making a film at the moment.

Not to ring the alarm unnecessarily, but were these “inexcusable and unacceptable” comments....racist?

Kind of reckless to imply it might have been racist (in the original article).

I mean, have you seen the Snyder zombies? They’re supposed to be rotting corpses, but they look gym bros with undead washboard abs who appear 10x fitter than the average living human. (AND apparently having more sex than the average Snyder fan. I jest. Maybe.)

Am i the only one who had problems buying the characterization of Dieter in Army of the Dead? He was clearly framed as the physically weak intellectual comic relief, but the actor they got had shoulders like an olympic swimmer. And everytime he was supposed to be super fussy about his craft for laugh, he just came off…

That and the constant winking at the fact that it’s a sequel. I love Kurt Russell but boy oh boy is that movie overrated.

Does he name any Superhero movies?

“(please forgive me, i’m not sure exactly what the correct way to say this is)“

The correct way to say that is “Another Flight Attendent”

as a friend put it “somehow they took a zombie movie, mashed it together with a heist movie, and managed to make a boring movie.”

Why?
