I would only watch that if it also starred Hugh Laurie in the title role, walking around on his knees like Dorf. 

Agreed that it COULD have made perfect sense.

Characters in a movie being stupid or naive aren’t plot holes, they’re stupid or naive characters. Amanda Waller isn’t stupid, but she probably thinks whatever suits were in that room were. She doesn’t want to stop Superman, she wants her own black ops kill squad with superpowers and neck bombs, and she got it.

You’re worried about a movie being ambiguous?

How dare you taint a cult classic like ‘Robocop’ by comparing it to ‘Captain Marvel’.

No problem with someone liking a film that I don’t. To pretend that this was anything other than a branding exercise (“LOOK HOW DARK STAR WARS IS”) is just delusional. It’s a bad soldiers-on-a-mission film by any fair standard: clumsy plotting, poor characterisations, risible dialogue. Yet people claim it is fresh and…

It’s just Japanese for animation. Noone disagrees with this, especially on the internet.

I would go even farther and say things like Touristas, The Midnight Meat Train, and Hostel are really on the edge of body horror and flat out torture porn. Regular horror movies often have some body horror in them, but these types of films focus is on the body as the self, and how the destruction of the body is…

Some variation on this comment has come up in all three of these reviews, and it perplexes me. Professional critics aren’t obligated to calibrate their expectations in such a way that every movie gets a good grade - that’s more or less the opposite of their job. They’re supposed to bring a wide-ranging knowledge of…

I think the way we talk about the male gaze is really flawed. It’s an important concept but kind of gets simplified to “if sexy, male gaze” when it should be more like, if passive object, male gaze. Women can like seeing sexy women too, the same way men like seeing Chris Hemsworth with his shirt off.

It does. But you have to read about that in actual industry informed publications like Variety, HW or a publication with actual journalists. When that happens it will be linked here in a blog post. Generally with some snark that misses the point.

The show had two really great episodes. The first and the attack on Black Wall Street in Tulsa.

You think someone deserves to get PIT’d because they wanted to find a safe spot to pull over?

Watching and understanding are two very, very different things for some of the bloggers around here.

On the one hand, this may contribute to misinformation.

So people like Ellie Kemper’s parents are responsible for an article at the AV Club that roasts Ellie Kemper? This is like an Escher drawing.

The funny thing is that I’m not some huge fan of Kemper’s. I didn’t watch The Office. I thought that she was good in Bridesmaids. I liked Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and thought that she was good in it, too, but it’s not like she’s one of my favorite actors.

I’m going to dissect this bullshit one bit at a time:

And, I would add, less interested in this web site.
