What a horrible thread to have a post.

I’m sorry I’m saying mean things about the guy that made the movies you loved in middle school.

Except that's not what you did, say mean things all you like (Kevin Smith movies didn't exist until I was in college, kiddo, so I've never been particularly impressed with him)

What you did is project your weird hate fantasies into a complicated relationship between an addict and his friend, and totally ignored the fact that the guy got clean with his friend's help and made a video thanking him.

The fact that you don't get how incredibly offensive this is to anyone who struggles with addiction issues - and the fact that you're now moving the goalposts and pretending that I'm disgusted on behalf of an imaginary Kevin Smith audience and not because you're a gross maladjusted piece of poo poo - is really Not A Good Look.

That's all I'll say about it, this is going slapfight. Get your dumb reply in and let's move on.

I don't think someone should be called a moral degenerate who abused a drug addict without proof, and as anyone whose seen me in the comic book thread knows this is not "an awful lot of energy" to any topic I choose to post about. But I'm done now because we're moving into the part where a couple of posters tag-team me into a slapfight. No thank you.

Each subsequent delay on Indy 5 feels like somebody at Disney/Lucasfilm playing chicken with Ford. "Oh, we're still gonna do it...next year, maybe year after that. And you still want in on it? Okay. Super. Super. Actually it might be another year off. Still in? Really? poo poo."

The Joaquin Phoenix Joker movie has won the race to be the first Joker movie and starts filming in September with only $55 million as a budget. The Hangover director Todd Phillips is directing and cowrote the script with Scott Silver

quote:

which the studio describes as being an “exploration of a man disregarded by society [that] is not only a gritty character study, but also a broader cautionary tale.” .

Heck, it can’t be worse than Suicide Squad… but “gritty” and “Todd Phillips” don’t add up.

[Edit: In Kevin Smith news, I rewatched Dogma the other day. It still got some chuckles out of me but christ if they took all of the Bartleby and Loki scenes out besides the train and the ending it would be a significantly better film, like 99% of their screentime is them being chatty edgelords and it’s too much for a two hour goddamn film. Also my wife pointed out that Linda Fiorentino’s career ended pretty quickly after Dogma and, given that Weinstein produced the film, well…]

It was pretty inconsistent with the rest of the movie. I imagine it might have been a bit of a mindfuck for kids getting their first exposure to Tom and Jerry through this.

It's probably for the best that Tom and Jerry Kids is only remembered by me.

The Itchy and Scratchyland episode of The Simpsons had a bit where the gift shops are filled out with merchandise of secondary characters from an Itchy and Scratchy and Friends block from a few years earlier, I have to wonder if that was a reference to/jab at Tom and Jerry Kids. Or just miscellaneous cartoon variety blocks that introduce poorly received/remembered secondary characters. (Unrelated to the additional characters brought up in the episode where the original creator of Itchy sues the company for plagiarism)

I think Smith himself said that he regretted casting Fiorentino because nobody got on with her on the set and in retrospect he would have cast Janeane Garofalo in her role instead.

I realise that saying women in Hollywood are "difficult to work with" and variations thereupon is a bit of a canard (for whatever it may be worth, I've heard she was not asked to return for the Men In Black sequel for the same reason) so maybe take it with a fairly large pinch of salt.
