I mean let’s not pretend any of us here have a good reason for typing lol

Not trying to argue, but honest question—in an ideal world, do you think every actor, stunt performer, and extra who’s ever pulled the trigger of a (non-replica) prop gun before checking it should face legal consequences? Or does Baldwin in particular deserve it because he was the one guy unlucky enough to end up one…

Man, some people are just not gonna forgive you for defending the Star Wars prequels, huh? Jeez…

Okay, that one I could get behind

I guess this is a hot take but I’ve always thought Now You Don’t was a terrible idea for a title. Funny when said in the same sentence as the title of the first film, but sounds absurd when it’s by itself.

Certainly we should respect the wishes of anyone who makes it known that they don’t want their likeness to be resurrected with AI, holograms, Tarkin-Tech, or what have you. But if that’s not a factor, and their estate explicitly approves of it, then who exactly is being harmed here?

Well, if there’s no close family to sign off on it, then there’s no problem. It’s not like James Dean himself is being harmed by this—he’s dead.

As long as their families sign off on it, this is fine imo. Something being weird and creepy doesn’t automatically equate to it being morally objectionable.

If this is what you call an example of “capitalism’s ongoing war against art and knowledge”, then I’d say we’re doing pretty okay overall.

I never know what film bloggers mean when they claim a studio will learn “all the wrong lessons” from a movie’s commercial success. Is this writer’s implication that Inside Out 2’s status as a sequel is irrelevant to how well it’s doing at the box office? Because from a purely moneymaking standpoint, Disney is quite o…

Denzel is playing Hannibal in a different movie, actually—an untitled Netflix film directed by Antoine Fuqua. His Gladiator II character is a (presumably fictional) arms dealer.

The Ellie Kemper thing was worse

Yeah this idea that women on GoT/HotD experience more gratuitous violence than men is frankly insane. Funniest moment of this discourse is when the Game of Thrones writers clearly preempted internet outrage when [spoiler!] they chose to cut away to Grey Worm’s reaction when Missandei is beheaded instead of showing it…

Yeah I mean who besides internet film nerds even recognizes Furiosa’s name? Film Twitter enthusiasm ≠ normie moviegoer enthusiasm.

Not necessarily all lying—some people get unlucky—but yeah, anecdotes aside, the moviegoing public is not economically worse off than they’ve been, on average. Certainly not more of an “endstage capitalistic hellhole” than it was 20 years ago when people went to the theater every other week. Normies just don’t care…

I like Kylo Ren’s theme, though it’s basically just five notes.

I think this is reading too much into it; a large majority of America (including, I would bet, a slight majority of left-of-center people) would most likely agree with that statement, in the same way they would “cherish” e.g. firefighters or whatever. It certainly could be said by someone as a right-wing statement but…

It’s weird for stuff like Mean Girls where a substantial portion of the audience very likely did not know it was a musical when they bought their tickets, but everyone knows Wicked is a musical, right? I’d guess showing off all the drama/talky stuff in the trailer is their way of saying “You should consider watching…
