Oh man Misfits was on some next-level dystopian shit in terms of just how dilapidated and apathatic that entire setting was.

It was like the one continuous unspoken subtle joke where the longer you watched the more it became apparent there was something very very very wrong with that show’s version of London, but none…

“deliberately attempt to harm/kill a random black person because of that random person’s race”

If we’re being a tiny bit more fair to Neeson, he wasn’t out to just lynch any random innocent black person, but rather roamed some famously rough areas hoping that somebody would start on him so he could exercise…

Incel is kind of just becoming the new catch-all-insult ever since people realised that modern pop culture is approximately 90% Star Wars, Game of Thrones, or superhero movies and therefore still calling people “virgin nerds” is hypocritical.

Well fuck me if that ain’t a ton of projection and bad faith reading on your behalf, pal.

I’m happy enough to let Peele be Peele, but like I said, a lot of critics seem to fall over themselves praising ‘Us’ for its “social commentary” less because they have any kind of idea as to what the film was actually attempting to say and more just because it’s Jordan Peele’s much anticipated follow-up to his…

Apparently I’m supposed to be foaming at the mouth over these kinds of news, if AV Club is to generally be believed, so I thought it was worth clarifying that Peele gets the official “cool black guy” pass from the white people committee.

I mean that’s still way less nonsensical than the fact there’s apparently an abandoned “functional” underground complex that literally spans the entirety of US and can sustain 400,000,000 people that have just been forgotten about.

I don’t know why Jordan Peele bothered to even explain the doppelgangers in so much…

Wouldn’t that fall under cultural appropriation though.

...that’s fine?

I don’t want his entire career to be permanently typecast as “the black director who makes genre films with very important woke social commentaries” which is a direction that Us is perhaps getting a little bit too overhyped towards, but really that’s fine?

AV Club: “Wtf we love Kevin Smith now.”

I agree with less being more.

I didn’t mean what I said insofar as all the events in the film aren’t happening and it was all a dream or something like that, but without getting into spoilers, the general sheer...uhhh...logistics of it just don’t make any sense to the point of being immersion breaking.

He could have…

My issue with the stupid monologues is that the relatively few questions they do answer just raise more questions and make the film worse for me.

I was ready to implicitly accept the doppelgangers, the endless tunnels, the scissors, the rabbits, etc. etc. etc. as surrealist aspects of the film that obviously aren’t…

Bruuuh you don’t need to have a fucking PhD in 20th English Lit to be able to very broadly say that Moby Dick is about an unhealthy obsession.

Which is more than I can conclusively say about the social commentary of “Us”.

Given that almost everything else on that list is multiple instances of Star Wars/Harry Potter/Capeshit, I think that may be a little bit unfair to a singular film that came out a decade ago and just hasn’t been talked about much since. People for the most part are just not that good at accurately recalling fine…

yes, don’t @ me.

Post Malone without the face tattoos actually somehow manages to look worse.

While I don’t doubt that Cersei will pull some stupid “better to rule in hell than serve in heaven” burn-it-all-down bullshit that she thinks is a brilliant plan, there’s absolutely no fucking way book-Cersei will manage to completely get away with something as clean and well-executed as Baelor. Cersei’s entire shtick…

“That suggests something of a reversal: Game Of Thrones isn’t just telling the rest of Martin’s story before he can finish it himself; the show is doing it better than he could.”

To be honest a lot of people on here are in a bit of a bubble and don’t have a good sense of perspective regarding how rough other parts of the internet can be.

I’ve seen someone clutching their pearls about “hateful trolls in the greys” in an article that was literally a dozen comments overall and like maybe three…
