The sign of the true Star Trek fan is that any news about Star Trek makes them angry.

Eh, wild medical anachronisms is pretty much part and parcel of the Witcher franchise. Without spoiling the details of Wild Hunt, there’s a pretty vital subplot in that game that depends upon both Geralt and the other party having a conversational knowledge of biological weapons, the germ theory of disease, and…

The way it works:

“which means you on some level clearly give a fuck about this pointless frippery”

It means nothing more than he accepted a check to do a job. That’s IT. Anything else is your own bullshit.

Predictable hot take from the AV Club: A recap based on the reviewer’s interpretation of the politics and intentions of the performer. Bonus points for zero fact-checking.

Maybe he has a point, but there are few things more exhausting in Hollywood than a rich guy yelling at a bunch of other rich people about he’s more “woke” than they are.

I know long shots are seen as terribly gauche on here, but the 37 minute single take in One Cut of the Dead is terrific in its absurdity. 

They later put it on their “worst of 2019" list, accompanied by a paragraph which basically confirmed they’re covering it for clickbait.

I like Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver a lot, so I assume this trilogy is still better than Lucas’s plan to make the third trilogy about the little creatures that live inside midichlorians.

It’s like poetry. It rhymes

Was not impressed *at all* by the CG on Dr Manhattan.

“My point is that it’s bullshit to be like “Look at all the black people I’m helping” when that was never a thing you set out to do.”

“Because you sound like dozens of midle aged white people I’ve seen slowly go conservative as they age.”

Sure. And you have a right to point out that the comments are dominated by crying 20-somethings fixating on the inclusion of one film, and I have a right to point out that they’re also dominated by Hassenger going up and down the comments responding to those 20-somethings with whinge and attempts at snark.

“The original 1990 Jacob’s Ladder was hardly a masterpiece...”

“But what you’re talking about is similar to Trump crowing about how black unemployment is the lowest it’s ever been.”

And Hassenger whining about 20-something white guys crying about it.

I’ve heard people say that Zinn had no idea what he was talking about and that class has no bearing on racial disparity, which is entirely untrue. Not many people thinking that a Sanders style revolution would solve the problems of racism, that’s basically a straw man. Most of us who come at things from the economic…

Which I think supports the idea that Joker is (barely) on this list not because of the movie itself, but because of the director’s boneheaded comments and other critics vastly overselling it. This is supposed to be the “Worst” films of 2019, not “Most Overrated”.

‘Woke’ Americans think class warfare is passe because it doesn’t dwell enough on race.
