If the Fox buyout goes through, Disney’s going to own almost half the global market. Even if they did get sued, they’d be shut out of any blockbuster not produced by WB or Sony— and that’s assuming there wouldn’t be an industry-wide unofficial blackball. You sink a billion-dollar movie, even for good reasons, you’re…

The first Alice made over a billion dollars and is still in the top 50 worldwide box office returns. 

Not only was he not cleared, it was actually much worse than was initially covered— his employer said they received dozens of complaints about the guy, from multiple people, which included explicit sexual harassment and groping.

You’re not wrong (at lease in comparison to the other prequels). It’s a real fucking movie— there’s sets, and camerawork, and props, and costumes, and natural light. The fight scenes have people in them. It doesn’t look like it was shot in a basement. It’s not and endless cavalcade people in brown robes walking in…

Nah, the ACAB crowd has made some pretty solid points about the fact that it’s a friendly and lighthearted workplace comedy about a massively corrupt and violent organization which actively protects civil rights violators and is openly hostile towards any attempts at reform.

She was in two Best Picture nominees in 2015, her last album debuted at #5 on the Billboard chart, and her next album was announced in an ad before the biggest movie of the year.

It’s also very silly to assume a critic looks down on an entire genre because he didn’t like a film in that genre which you haven’t even seen. Dowd’s reviewed a bunch of Marvel films and has been in line with the general critical consensus almost every time— if I remember right, I think this is the only time he’s gone…

Every review I’ve seen of this movie has said that there’s too much going on, that most characters get barely anything to do, and that the film is overstuffed and emotionally unsatisfying. It seems that what it’s actually recognized as is exactly what Dowd said it is.

If it’s almost impossible to make this film and give it emotional stakes and character-driven story, maybe they just should have made a different movie. Marvel knew that making the film work on a narrative and emotional level would be a challenge when they greenlit it. The movie doesn’t get a pass on having major…

Yeah, I feel like any article about “wow, what crazy thing is Yeezy up to now!” that doesn’t include that is being disingenuous. Dude broke down in the middle of a concert and said Beyonce and Jay-Z had assassins after him. It’s pretty easy to guess how he fell down a rabbit hole of right-wing grifters and paranoiacs.

The obvious question is, of course, why the fuck would Kanye be doing this.

They call it the Glasgow kiss for a reason— it brings a Glasgow smile to your face!

That’s one of the reasons why I really like JC Superstar’s portrayal of him— he’s kind, but he’s also infuriatingly hard to get along with, and you see why people see him as a threat.

Not even that— they were currency speculators.

Man, in addition to that prose, 160 pages is really pushing the limits of “novel” as well.

Or Sean Penn’s a colossal asshole, violent dickhead, and alleged wife-torturer who hung out with a murderous cartel boss to stroke his own ego and deserves to be insulted at every opportunity.

Reading the book makes it abundantly clear that Cline, on a fundamental level, does not understand the concept of imagination.

I’m pessimistic because the book was the worst work of mainstream fiction I’d ever read.

I don’t know why anyone who knows anything at all about Mike’s politics is either surprised or disappointed. “Let the police be the only people with guns” has never, ever been a talking point on the Black Left— like, you can’t hold the guy up for his radical politics and then disown him when he starts saying the exact…

Sean Penn’s brain is not a good place.
