Also gently caress Christman, The Duellists is a masterpiece.

Yeah I'm hit or miss on Ridley Scott but I finally watched this thanks to Chapo and it was outstanding.

One thing I've found disappointing is that people who do a podcast I really like, when they start doing movie reviews, just repeat dumb man-on-the-street stuff.

Like I'm just gonna go out on a limb and say that the Dry Boys don't really "get" BvS. :can:

This is relevant to their work, because they often talk about how the average person can't read culture because class consciousness in the USA has been systematically ground down and atomized into nothingness, leading to liberals looking in the wrong places, freaking out about phenomena like "cultural appropriation" and only seeing critique of the establishment in terms of notional consumer choices.

Simply put, most people get no education in how to read film or television. If you're like me, you got a segment in your 10th grade English class in how to read things like character archetypes and conflict in a story, and how to read the plot of a short story. But Star Wars and The Avengers have a greater effect on popular ideology than like, "The Scarlet Ibis" or whatever.

BvS is a garbage movie for angry teenagers

I've never actually read any of his books because I didn't think they sounded like my thing, but I think I'll check em out now. Which ones do people recommend?

The affected voice and dumb stuff like "trumped up trickle down" is something a lot of democrats do. Watch CSPAN2 for a bit and you can figure out exactly which phrase a consultant told them all to say that day.

The Pod Save Bros rail against it all the time, then decided that they all love Tom Perez who's has an awful case of Democrat voice, but hey, you gotta protect your friends' contracts with the DNC.

Speaking of democrat voice did you guys see this

Actually, people - like the people posting in this thread that are insisting that talking and texting in a movie is good - don't stop talking or texting if you ask them to anymore, also these days they may shoot you or start a fight. It's cool that your experience is different but calling the movie cops is actually the safer and less confrontational option than asking people to be more polite.

If that's seriously your concern then what's to stop them from shooting the drafthouse employee you ask to shush them for you
