not every comic book is good!

in one fuckin movie? that sounds like a good idea to you?

I could maybe see the argument that it’s more noticeable since the film’s title highlights it, but yeah even with that “why does a Gen Z white girl have a slightly unusual name” doesn’t strike me as a terribly compelling mystery.

The problem isn’t the amount of backstory, it’s the massive drop in quality on average since (and, arguably, including) Endgame.

Finally, the culmination of all the exciting plot threads! Plot threads like... uh...

We can accept that Death is a parrot. We can even accept that in his infinite lifespan, he’s never learned to name five things he can see and four things he can smell to calm himself down

“Bowen Yang and Keenan Thompson address Shane Gillis, Dave Chappelle SNL moments.”

“...one of Hollywood’s greatest and most intensely watchable performers...”
I don’t even gaf if I seem like an oldhead. What else can you do but laugh at this shit?

Seeing this makes me, in an odd way, respect Nicole Holofcener more. Because she’s the only director I can think of who has been able to elicit genuine warmth from Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who can do a lot of things well, but warmth is rarely one of them. Including Tuesday.

I certainly get the sense that Yang is liberal, but it doesn’t necessarily follow from that that he’s outraged by all the things that liberal online spaces are angry about. Comedians tend to be pretty forgiving about other comedians’ jokes, since a whole lot of the job involves saying things that you think will…

I feel like there are a lot of people who see Yang and project on him all their feelings and political beliefs.

He made Beetlejuice before Batman, which was already a toy for decades before the movie. He also refused to return when Burton declined to direct a third movie. So I’m pretty sure he knew what he was making when he signed on to Batman.

When that Batman movie was made, Batman had already been a toy for decades. Keaton knew he was playing a toy.

I watched the Henson bio last night and moderately challenge its characterization here as a puff piece; the children were pretty open about him being a shit dad when he was trying to get The Muppet Show off the ground. Admittedly they don’t dwell on it, but it’s the sort of thing that could’ve been easily left out.
