Saying “it’s not cinema, it’s more like a theme park” and “it’s not haute cuisine” aren’t remotely analogous, haute cuisine would be more like an arthouse movie or something. 

If they’re saying people who defend the MCU are nerds for doing so, then yes, it is being said. 

A), liking the most popular film franchise in human history doesn’t make you a nerd. B), can you really be surprised that a director coming out and saying “hey, those movies you like all suck” is received badly? That’s not a bad thing, or a new one, it’s just that if in the 90s Lumet said T2 sucks there wouldn’t be a…

Exactly. Rorschach is a weird, smelly, unstable guy who doesn’t have any hard proof, it’s not shocking that the people who believe him are kind of niche. 

How on earth did A Moon Shaped Pool not make it onto the list? And I’m a little surprised to not see any Car Seat Headrest. 

Yeah, but people liked a lot of the previous Spider-Man movies. Has there ever been a Charlie’s Angels project that’s good by modern standards?

I mean, there’s a satellite right there that seems placed to spy on him specifically. And whoever put him there has the technology to put a viable habitat on the surface of a moon of Jupiter, so they could presumably get him back if they wanted. 

I think a lot of people just want to stand, stretch their legs after being stuck in a cramped seat for hours. 

I’m surprised Costco employee baseball caps are still red, honestly.

Are New Balances safe to wear now, or are they still in the okay symbol/Pepe realm of “originally fine but co-opted by racists so you should probably stay away”? They seem comfy, and I could use some new sneakers, but I don’t want to walk around with tiki torches on my feet.

Life Is Strange has a lot more of the Pacific Northwest small-town vibe, Disco Elysium is more the “Dale works on the case by throwing pebbles and talking to ghosts” aspect. 

Pretty much. It’s not like anyone’s going to take the corporate side out of anything but contrarianism. 

Honestly, as much as I loved the game, I thought the mystery itself kind of fell apart. 

A protest that gets PR and minor headlines is probably the most a celebrity can do, really. 

Rorschach’s entire premise is that he’s Moore’s critique of Steve Ditko’s objectivist, Randian beliefs, as seen in the Question and Mr A.

V For Vendetta is set in England, though. Watchmen is very much about America. 

That specific mask? Yeah. It’s the equivalent of finding a set of Klan robes. 

I think Nite Owl and Silk Spectre are pretty much good people.

Moore signed up to get the rights back when it went out of print, something that had happened to every other comic ever written up to that point. He had no way of knowing Watchmen would change the market like it did. 

Where the ’70s and ’80s idolized men who were clawing their way out of the seedy underbelly of fat cities, men like Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver, today’s viewers might find connecting emotionally to angry disturbed men a challenge.
