Also I just checked and Irons was not nominated, but Eisenberg was, which makes way more sense.

The ending is patronizing at best. It's a terrible movie that honestly does no good things to mental health misconceptions this country already has and the twist at the end is honestly just a big ol' basket of member berries to get you to try and forget about how crappy the rest of the movie is.

I don't think anyone is going to see the movie where the multiple personality guy gets superpowers from it and think it's in any way meant to be a depiction of real mental illness.

If you go see an M. Night Shyamalan movie expecting to see a realistic treatment of mental illness then maybe the problem is you. Actually if you go see one of his movies at all that's probably the problem. Don't go see bad movies. X-O fucked around with this message at 05:19 on Jan 24, 2017 |

There is literally 0 worth in the Razzies, but I still want Eisenberg to get one for that Luthor performance. Just for me.

Jackman has said that Logan happens in a alternative timeline and universe from the "main" X-men movie timeline. Which is interesting because it does give them a lot more freedom, but the X-men movie timeline is only slightly less confusing than the comics one. Also this means that moving Laura into the main X-men movies may not happen, which sucks a lot more than anything else.

Mental illness is terrifying though and it needs to be looked at a lot closer than it is, so people who are need of it can get help.

Superhero movies before Man of Steel can be broadly divided into being either juvenile (such as the Dark Knight or Iron Man trilogies) or silly (like The Rocketeer or Sam Raimi's Spider-Man) - this isn't to call them all bad, but it's their basic condition. Man of Steel has the distinction of being the first serious superhero movie. e: Well, second if you count Watchmen. Some reviewers are very open about not liking this, like Cambridge Day's Tom Meek: "What's missing in Snyder's Superman is a dash of the hokey goodness that Christopher Reeve contributed to the role and the comic cold cheesiness that Gene Hackman and Terrence Stamp brought as Luthor and Zod."

It's always interesting to see people who used to be normal posters posting normal posts slowly but irrevocably turning into gimmick accounts who rely on their gimmicks for amusement. We don't always get to see the transitioning process in action, but in this case we've had the privilege of studying the conversion in an up-close, detailed fashion through the months.

I was going to suggest they've been emptyquoting this entire time, but then I remembered that's the gimmick of LotteryOfBabylon, who's an entirely different person, so I guess BravestOfTheLamps is just Actually Crazy.

Blindly cheerful consumption is the kind of thing Lego Movie mocked, so it strikes me as missing the point.
