They're always moving the goalposts. Deadpool had that UFC woman in it kicking rear end but that doesn't count because she was hot and had cleavage. It also had Negasonic Teenage Warhead kicking rear end but that didn't count because she's hot and didn't have enough screen time and I can guarantee they didn't like whatshername from Firefly "being in peril"... Also she was hot. They? Who are they? Some random straw-womyn... But I dunno, maybe e-mail whoever wrote that piece and ask why none of the above counts as examples of strong women in film.

As an aside I wonder what that person thinks about Harley Quinn as a character. She's clearly sexualised, yet kicks an almighty amount of rear end and I don't know any women (in real life, obviously) who don't completely loving love her.

Kate McKinnon is going to be so embarrassed when someone explains to her that licking a gun is something that you're only allowed to do if you're trying to titillate men. She's going to be so mad at Paul Feig for tricking her into doing that!!

It's a power fantasy, both men and women like forms of escapism where they can see their impulses can go unpunished in the form of anti-heroes. Harley's also an abused girlfriend which is okay since it's the Joker. Also different people have different opinions about things so it's kind of silly to generalize what feminists/MRAs like and don't like je1 healthcare fucked around with this message at 15:23 on Jul 22, 2016 |

The recurring fart jokes are a commentary on persistent fears of impotence. The obnoxious, over-colourful look of the film is actually good, and you'd understand that if you were a true cinéaste. The film isn't garbage, it's a subtle parody of garbage films.

I had never seen Alien until recently, just the second one a bunch of times. The first one is really good too, definitely plays up the horror stuff. I am not looking forward to when they reboot Alien (you know they will announce an Alien reboot, if they haven't already).

Movies out of the 70s up are still relevant. Maybe even back into the 60s. But I've made the argument before and some smug goon brings up some rare French movie in the Criterion collection that is a beautiful, well-acted masterpiece that could blow any movie made today out of the water and I was just cutting to the chase.

I watched Citizen Kane a few years ago, and it's still a great movie. That's 1941. Psycho is still great, that's 1960. The Shining is 1980. Diehard is 1988. Heat is 1995. I can't imagine any of these films being remade better. A great movie doesn't need a redo. You might as well say that the Mona Lisa needs a redo, or the Sistine Chapel, or Macbeth.
