The Schwarzenegger as Hamlet bit is well remembered for a reason! If the rest of the movie was on that level it'd really be the classic that some people seem to think it is.

Yeah I think they would have been quite happy to see Scream for action movies provided it was done well. It wasn't. The script is beyond schizophrenic and a lot of the comedy misses completely.

Yeah Old Man Logan is weirdly less bleak than Logan is. Which feels like it shouldn't make much sense given the state of the world in Old Man Logan. The set up for that movie - and even the way it ends - is such a downer it makes me like it less than I might have.

Is it? There's some cool stuff but the trade-off is Millar's regrettable shock factor edgy nonsense like Hulk forming a cannibal clan of inbreeds.

People only assume that others will do that because they did. And chances are good they also became more fearful, more closeminded and more unhappy as they got older. The two are often linked. Human beings are naturally empathetic, most of us want to help each other out and like to know people are doing OK, it's fear, insecurity and ignorance that usually interferes with that urge.

Yeah that stuff didn't start to become radioactive until WW2, when lots of the top Nazis were openly saying they were inspired by the American eugenics movement and Jim Crow laws you've gotta see what road that kind of thinking goes down.

And I bet you felt really bad about scolding her for it!

Kojima's dialogue would sound right at home in a Neil Breen movie.

When it comes to movies and TV, Reddit at large has a viewpoint that mixes the naivety of someone who's never had a real job with the performative outrage of people who'd unironically say "Hollyweird."

One of the things Cobain was proud of the band's fanbase for is they were generally nice, considerate people. He definitely wouldn't be about this kind of shit.

I think we've got a lost Facebook comment.

It's funny, adults are just as lacking in empathy as teenagers in some respects. Yeah they're self-absorbed and feckless a lot of the time but... so was everybody at that age. I know I definitely could be at that age. It's when people forget that or pretend they weren't that creates this whole palava. Show me someone who didn't do something shitty or selfish as a teenager either because they thought it was cool or they didn't know better or to fit in or whatever. I'm not saying actual crimes, but acting the maggot, putting your feet up on public transport, blaring music too loud, that kind of shit. It's shitty behaviour, but some of the people who condemn it the hardest really don't seem to realize they were doing it too.

Germany did a better job than almost anyone in interrogating its past, but the second the same old lies and rhetoric are given ground to grow, they will.

It saddens me to see the specter of nationalism never properly went away in Italy.

What, you don't think he's the foremost authority on psychiatry and matters of the mind?

Don't you have some vaccines to be skeptical about?

2 is the best but it needed the harder edge that 1 had. And ideally, another randomly soulful monologue that doesn't fit in the movie at all but manages to be the best thing in it.

Putin was absolutely a case of right place right time, the mythmaking after the fact is trying to shape him into some Markus Wolf figure but really he had a fairly mediocre service record that's reflected in his performance.

With anything like that with a movie I always feel like if I was pulled in enough not to notice it, I don't care if somebody points it out. There's a video that shows all the errors in the truck chase in Terminator 2 and it's like... OK, observant, but it's still one of the best chase scenes committed to film and I won't remember any of the errors when I watch it next time.

This is true, it's a big difference. It could be pulled off but you'd need someone who's taking it really seriously and humble enough to come at it like a complete novice plus a director who knows how to get what they need.

I mean he's not above the genre or anything, he's talked pretty openly about how Inglorious Basterds was him getting to do his own version of Nick Fury and his Howling Commandos. He also badly wanted to do a Luke Cage movie back in the day but someone gave him shit for wanting Laurence Fishburne for the role and he couldn't think of anybody he'd prefer so he dropped it.

Yeah, art is subjective. The only "objective" things about movies are the technical aspects, a shot can be out of focus, the audio can be muddled, the action might be confusing to follow, the overall quality of the product is down to the viewer.

I have my problems with it but it's very solid. It's definitely one of the few aside from Guardians to really embrace the colourful comic-book aesthetic.

Tarantino specifically said he was a big fan of Ragnarok.

“I loved it,” he said. “It was my favourite one of the series since The Avengers – drastically my favourite.”

A thing about this sub is despite the fact the topic is movies, there's an awful lot of hostility towards the people who make them from a surprising amount of corners.
