Characters like this, and THE OFFICE's Michael Scott before, are such relentless cunts that the not only tolerance they receive but outright acceptence serves only to make the otherwise likable characters around them also contemptuous. Sheldon is in all ways and in all situations rude, crude, and dismissive as he feels astronomically superior to literally every human being he has met or can meet, and the blanket condoning of which by his apologist friends makes everyone look ugly af. Eccentricity seems to be freely exchangeable with psychopathy in comedy.

I haven't watched any of the BBT since the first or second season a decade ago, but from what I remember Sheldon was a genuinely tolerant and giving person when he wasn't held back by his mental condition.

all that trailer makes me think about is how Young Sheldon's sister looks exactly like Trixie from Problem Child 2

I know so many people who love that show and they all think he's charming and eccentric and "tells it like it is". I've only ever seen snippets of the show in passing and Sheldon just seems like a massively socially maladjusted, hateful piece of poo poo.

So far, this is the only poster for the film that I actually find somewhat interesting to look at. The lack of determination on Wonder Woman's face is really confusing, though. Why does she seem so distracted?

She probably forgot why she picked that tank up.

Why does she seem so distracted? Because then she wouldn't look sexy, since feminine sexuality is equated to vulnerability in our culture.

Glazier posted:Because then she wouldn't look sexy, since feminine sexuality is equated to vulnerability in our culture. There's an argument to be made for like, the posters for the Resident Evil or Underworld movies. They usually show Milla Jovovich or Kate Beckinsale in an active pose or holding lots of guns, but still making a sexy face or having their mouth slightly open. Their badassness is matched with a sexyness that isn't seen with male action stars. But in that Wonder Woman poster she seriously looks like she's not sure why she picked the tank up or what she's going to do with it now.

Maybe Gal Gadot is just not very good at emoting

It's more like a candid of Wonder Woman out for a leisurely stroll and she just so happens to be doing so with a tank hoisted overhead.

Not exactly a poster but get hyped for the new Cinematic Dark Universe Dr. Jekyll, Frankenstein, Tom Cruise as Tom Cruise (or Van Helsing?), The Invisible Man, The Mummy.

They could actually make them mid budget horror films that would easily make their money back and more but they seem to be going the blockbuster route which means every film needs to be insanely popular to make any money.

They went that route with the Dracula movie that everybody hated. It made a lot overseas so they still probably did well, but if your only goal is to make money going big is probably the better play. I thought the trailers for the Mummy looked kind of interesting but once I found out Crowe was some kind of universe-spanning villain I stopped caring morestuff fucked around with this message at 21:04 on May 22, 2017 |

I saw an extended trailer that made it look like the plot of The Mummy is going to be Tom Cruise teams up with Dr. Jekyll to fight the Mummy, but then Jekyll goes all Hyde and Tom Cruise has to team up with the Mummy to fight him And if that's the case, I'm on board.

You can tell if a movie is going to be good by how much Tom Cruise runs in it and everything I've seen from The Mummy shows that he runs a lot in it. The plot sounds bananas and awesome at the same time.
