This. This is what you’re appalled by. In July of 2022, pop culture dorks misunderstanding the true intent of camp is what appalls you. Jesus.

Thank you. I’ve never seen a Rob Zombie film, had no idea his wife was cast, never saw the old Munsters and looked at this article with genuine curiosity and didn’t expect the criticisms from people about how it’s shot and how his wife, blah blah blah. Pop Culture addicts exist to complain; nothing can be good enough,…

Oh yeah, because that’s what EVERY young girl wants: some older creep showing his dick. This woman is ridiculous- it says little about the voters of Colorado that she’s still there, elected.

the entitlement of MCU fans is beyond ridiculous. caring about fictional Gods played by millionaires.. I mean, I like this stuff too. but get your priorities right. I saw a guy whine about the portrayal of Zeus to where he said it was an “embarrassment”.. as if Zeus were, you know, real. (Or not raping people in…

Sadly not surprising. How did the “Geek” community ever get the rep for being inclusive and made up of misfits and outcasts, etc.? Socially awkward does not automatically constitute being a good person. So many of these “geeks” has long enabled rampant sexism through their fandoms and the predominance of White Male…

Yeah, I’m curious if any AVClub reader needs an article like this. Also, Eternity was created by “Stan Lee and Steve Ditko”- well, Ditko plotted and drew the stories before bringing them into Stan Lee fully completed and then he added dialogue after the fact based on Ditko’s margin notes- whatever Marvel’s owners…

Nothing against Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers but once again Pop Culture and it’s experts have done a massive disservice to what was done to Monica Rambeau back in 1988. She was Captain Marvel, the first female with that title, a competent and strong character who was made the leader of the Avengers. When that title’s…

Fuck him. It’s the same as Steisand saying the same thing when Bush II was elected. Woefully out of touch. Fucking leave then, while the people under attack for having a uterus and/or not being White & Straight have to stay and fight. 

Michael Shannon looked like he was 71 years old. It was remarkable how many people were like “he looks JUST LIKE Elvis” and I wondered and pulled up a photo of 1970 Elvis and- yeah. Shannon was not good casting and one wonders if he took that part as a lark.

That’s giving Elvis too much credit. Seriously.

I would argue it’s because Tom Parker did not sound like that whatsoever and Hanks admitted he made that accent up to show the audience there was “something else” about the Colonel, but unfortunately, sounding like a character on Hogan’s Heroes doesn’t quite do it.

I like the adamant Colonel fans tho’. You’re right…

What’s still kinda weird is that no one seems to know or care about the original woman Captain Marvel from the 1980's and how 2 white Marvel Editors purposely depowered and humiliated her rather than just writing her off.

Monica Rambeau- who, in the MCU, is apparently a sidekick- was the formidable, competent Captain…

It is entirely possible that someone likes the character of Doctor Strange more than Spider-Man, right? To that person, it being a Marvel keystone is irrelevant and subjective. And neither party is wrong, people just care about different stuff and it’s great.

how dare you speak to Captain Splendid that way

Elvis’s manager literally never spoke to him like that “we are the same, you and I” nor talked like a German from Hogan’s Heroes. Otherwise, the film looks compelling though I’m wary of a director making a biopic and then saying it’s not really about the subject but about the 60s- that was the downfall of the Muhammad…

....and Val Kilmer played Elvis in True Romance. Brilliant!! I see what you did there

Forget about reviews. I miss the articles that started with several paragraphs about the writer’s childhood and personal life before getting to the actual coverage of what the article itself was supposed to be about. You never needed to wonder what livejournal would be like if it were still a thing.

I’m sorry to go all angry continuity geek here, but it still bothers me that not enough people know the actual history about “her character ‘Monica’”- Monica is the FIRST female Captain Marvel, created in the 1980s and groomed by writer Roger Stern to become the leader of the Avengers. Carol was always Ms. Marvel or…

Do I blame Louis CK? No, I blame all the people that paid a ticket to enable someone exposing himself to innocent people which is still sexual abuse. He can’t stay viable unless people support him. This harkens to the very selfish and entitled “oh, let me separate the artist from the person” blah blah blah, like…

This was already done 25 years ago by two other rich white guys: on April Fool’s 1997, Pat Sajak hosted “Jeopardy!” and Alex Trebek hosted “Wheel of Fortune” and, if I remember what I read correctly, neither of them acknowledged or referenced it and played it straight.

Still, the vaguely wary tone of the author in this…
