It's a long, car-centric tabletop RPG campaign. The characters have just leveled up a LOT since the first movie.

I have never been able to watch the original Evil Dead without literally becoming nauseous to the point of vomiting during the tree scene.
Is it wrong of me that I've already decided to probably never watch The Handmaid's Tale? I am glad it exists, I am glad people are watching it, and by all accounts it is a masterfully-made show.
R. Kelly, forever and ever, R. Kelly. His whole career. The man is a musical genius and a visual madman, but I think literally cannot listen to any of his music anymore after realizing he was an unrepentant serial child rapist. It's not really a moral stance for me, so much as I hate being reminded of his crimes,…
Hating on The Chainsmokers IS easy (and I for one do not like their music), but the best piece of writing I've yet seen about them ("The Chainsmokers And The Relentless Glory Of Too Much" by Caitlin White for Uproxx) comes from a place of unabashed love, and makes it hard for me to join the smug critic dogpile.
I think their acting style was a deliberate choice, not a trade-off made in favor of the actor's physical appearance (though that was definitely important, too). The whole movie was, for sure, a full 40 minutes too long, and I probably would've *loved* it if it were cut down to a reasonable length. I can see how it…
As he has said before, you put a slice of bologna in each shoe so you FEEL funny.
*groans for 10 minutes straight*
Sure, but don't Veep and House of Cards and real life already have that covered?
I am 100% down for a West Wing sequel series, full of intelligent characters and unabashed idealism. We need a counter to the relentless cynicism that has infected politics. It doesn't need to be realistic. It just needs to be nuanced and entertaining and a positive vision of what politics COULD be. Not just Sorkin's…
I think Kaluuya is too soft looking to play Blade, but having seen Stanfield in other stuff, he's definitely capable of the edge necessary to play a scrappier, more grounded vampire hunter, which I think is necessary if you want to stand apart from Snipes' version of the character.
I hereby nominate Peele to direct a reboot of Blade, starring Lakeith Stanfield.
I understand what you mean (I frequently critique pacing in movies), but I think it depends on what kind of genre expectations you have going in. I had heard comparisons to Rosemary's Baby and Stepford Wives, so I went in expecting a mystery-thriller in which the mounting tension and unease was going to be the bulk of…
COUNTERPOINT: The Oscars are dumb, and we shouldn't have institutional arbiters of movie quality that pit the years' films (and the people who love them) against each other, and we shouldn't really care what those institutional arbiters have to say.
SEE ALSO: People's anxiety about pronouns. Some folks get SO defensive about singular "they" being "grammatically incorrect" despite the fact that, if you use it in casual conversation without calling attention to it, no one fucking notices.
Great example, and I wish I thought of it!
As should be obvious to everyone, it has nothing to do with the actual activity that goes on in restrooms. "Trans perverts sneaking into the women's restroom" is a totally made up problem, and even if it were a real concern at all, why would rigidly gendered restrooms stop a sexually predatory person of ANY stripe?
I think it's interesting that people are treating this as some sort of narrative flaw rather than an intentional choice. Literally everyone who worked on La La Land has succeeded wildly in show business, so presumably they KNOW what a professional, persuasive marketing campaign for a small theater production in Los…
What…? No! God.
Let's not drag Digimon through the mud here.
