movie reviews have been like this for at least a decade if not longer its an embarrassment to the craft and the inability of critics to realize this is why nobody takes them seriously anymore just makes the whole thing that much sadder


i caught some of it on cable awhile back and was honestly kind of shocked how much it veered away from self referential bullshit like the only characters who engaged in that were the ones that were explicitly being shown to be morons even the main character but his main redeeming quality is that he has a strong interest in how the game was originally developed demonstrating an unusually sincere curiousity in a world filled with idiots who worship brands

do want to actually finish it at some point but i can hardly blame myself for reacting to the movies base concept with raw hatred given the way it was marketed leafing through the source material at a department store didnt do it any favors either among the many stupid references i saw in the exactly two pages i read were a mention of how wil wheaton and cory doctorow were highly respected senators in the new video game based political system

That's ready played one and it's absokute dkgshit

That's based on what I've seen from leaked phone clips my friend sent to me. I'm also seeing claims that Palpatine is Rey's grandpa, and he kills Kylo. So they effectively killed the one cool bit from TLJ that lasted to its ending which was that Rey was just some person without a special lineage.

how are they explaining why palpatine is even around anymore is it really just oh they got his clone in rotj that wasnt really him

ive never consumed any of the eu stuff but i was always led to believe that palpatine having a gazillion clones and literally everyone having something to do with the death star plans were the main mocked tropes that made them terrible so im morbidly curious whether disney decided to bring that of all elements back

Disney should hire Jason Aaron to write a script based on his unused script for a star wars comic about the stormtroopers hunting down Yoda and dagobah and it becomes predator with Yoda as the predator

rotten tomatoes has it at seventeen percent

personally im expecting it to overperform the ideas weird as hell but its distinctive and the trailer seemed to pick up a lot more sincere buzz than anything regarding the new star wars baller move on the distrubitors part to schedule it on the same day as star wars too

DON'T POST IN THE ELECTION THREAD UNLESS YOU :love::love::love: JOE BIDEN
I pray God will curse the writer, as the writer has cursed the world with this beautiful, stupendous creation, terrible in its simplicity, irresistible in its truth—a world which now trembles before Cats. When the French Government seized the translated copies which had just arrived in Paris, London, of course, became eager to read it. It is well known how the play spread like an infectious disease, from city to city, from continent to continent, barred out here, confiscated there, denounced by Press and pulpit, censured even by the most advanced of literary anarchists. No definite principles had been violated in those wicked pages, no doctrine promulgated, no convictions outraged. It could not be judged by any known standard, yet, although it was acknowledged that the supreme note of art had been struck in Cats, all felt that human nature could not bear the strain, nor thrive on words in which the essence of purest poison lurked. The very banality and innocence of the first act only allowed the blow to fall afterward with more awful effect.

I don't think most furries will get a kick out of Cats because they're too far on the human side of the anthro scale and fall square into the darkest pit of the uncanny valley
