Die mad about it.

She’s referring to ‘people’ in the general sense, i.e. Society, and in that regard, yes, the comparison is apt. That you’re here whining about semantics in a story in which an innocent woman lost her life only adds credibility to her point. Sometimes contrarianism just makes you an asshole.

Technically you have no evidence of your claim either. Guess we’ll never know if conservatives hate women...

The money in that comes from future book royalties

“Perhaps the male fans of the NFL aren’t ready for men wearing makeup and glammed out crop tops. But that doesn’t really matter. The men of NFL cheerleading are doing things their way now.”

“Well, no one told me specifically to not draw on the paintings. I blame management for their lack of guidance!”

it’s funny though that the era we live in (basically the era of everyone producing short films all the time, constantly) we don’t see more love for short film as a medum.

Short films are absolutely a stepping stone to features, 95% of the time

“I’d be fine with a bunch of cheap houses, as long as they’re each custom designed and distinctive and have nice big well-manicured yards, and look like they were built 100 years ago so they fit in to the neighborhood. Why can’t anyone do that?”

That exact same argument has been used for decades (if not centuries) to keep out some “undesired” class, whether it be Blacks, Jews, or poor people. It’s a bullshit argument. Aesthetics are not more important than people.

right? like i’m a rare breed in that i genuinely like awards shows. i like the spectacle, the weird combinations of creatives, etc...but as an award show fan they’ve genuinely gotten worse, so i can only imagine how bad it looks to someone who doesn’t like them to begin with.

I wish they would stop trying to “modernize” the Oscars or whatever it is they’ve been doing the past few years to try to bring in new viewers. It’s never going to happen. Seth Rogen is right in the sense that you’re not going to make people who don’t care about the Oscars care. But for the people who do care — or at…

You want snubs? There’s an *entire category* that is still waiting to appear. And you’ll have to agree that showing the nominees will make the whole dang show worth watching.....

It was a tedious slog without any of the visual inventiveness of the Lynch version, which was a total mess but a fun one. Didn’t find any joy in the new one.

Dune was way overrated. I didn’t find anything that really stood out as a film, even in comparison to David Lynch’s Dune, other than being much easier to understand but everything about it was so sterile and subdued that it was altogether forgettable. It had no character or identity unless you count sterile and…

I think you’re approaching this as some who loves Dune, and is eager to see it on screen. You’re asking what the best way was to bring Dune, a difficult movie to film, to the screen.  But critics and the audience are not required to come in with those preexisting beliefs. If you say, “Look, Dune was never going to…

I think it’s reasonable for critics to expect that a movie will work, on a fundamental level. If it doesn’t work, it’s no answer to say that the movie will work once you see some promised future part, which will come out years from now, or would work if you understood the book. 

C’mon now.

That also isn’t very good!

While it is nice to see a “genre” film getting love in the best picture category, I am honestly stunned to see Dune there. While I love the book I felt that it was somehow a slog that had nothing really in it.
