Hollywood has to force gay in there somehow.

Did you interpret that scene as being very gay-positive?

The first one didn’t even get great reviews at the time. People thought it was mediocre

This is wildly false.

quote:

The original trilogy wasn’t even that great to be honest. Better than the sequel trilogy, but NOT better than the prequel trilogy

Why does this website allow 10 year-olds to post?

By what grammatical rule do you feel this shouldn't be, 'who'?

---

You is the subject in the question. Whom is the direct object, which means it should be whom instead of who. Consider the response this requests: "I find ______ more attractive." And we should have the superlative there instead of more.

"Who is more attractive?" vs. "Whom do you find more attractive?"


I find ScarJo most attractive, but I know that is heavily influenced by her prime.

WTF is wrong with you?

For not liking 2 of Eastwood's late-career stinkers?

Based on only the titles and directors alone, I predict Die, My Love will be the Palme winner.

That one wasn't bad if anything it's underrated.

I did not like it, but I do not think it's one Ritchie's 5 worst movies. I don't think people will be submitting it as evidence that Ritchie is a "Great Director."

My point with the race thing is that if the show focuses on Riri's struggles with race, then it will be pointless.

Just watched the trailer. Looks like dogshite. Also, there is nothing in the trailer about race. Maybe it will be there in the show, but this trailer included the protagonist being attracted to money, and the conflict that comes with potentially selling out your ideals to acquire it. Also, she's not the only genius around.

These issues don't feel race specific, especially given literature written in virtually every culture across millennia.

A trailer is just a trailer, but everyone having a race conversation is discussing an issue not present in the conflict presented in said trailer.

I see you're still retarded.

Cool, dude.

Usually when publishers introduce alternate, young versions of characters using standard "kid genius" and tough family life tropes, it's to attempt to engage a younger generation in reading and buying the comics.

But I like that you think this show will be for adults, and that you're so intelligent, you're among the elite group of adults who won't be swayed by such clever propaganda. That makes sense.


I answered the question "Who is this for?" I won't be watching this kids show that sounds bad to me, and neither will anyone here, but this will be marketed to and aimed for an audience of kids. Many of you will be yelling at it for its politics, warranted or not -- I'll never know. But it will still be for kids.

"Woke" means "whatever annoys me," and I've decided relevant, important historical context fits that definition.

quote:

1. Every movie in that trilogy is terrible.

2. Of those terrible movies, The Phantom Menace is the best.

Perfectly stated.


I know some of you have a lot of positive feelings around the obi-wan/anakin lava duel, which is just as awful as every other nonsense scene in that trilogy, but it brings to life an idea that was obviously important to you. I wish you guys would stop pretending the first 2 hours of that movie were anything other than absolute dogshite.
