The point of a business is not to do whatever it is the business ostensibly does. The point of a business is to manipulate public perception of the business in order to increase the stock price to benefit shareholders and executives. And David No-Brows Ellison can't even do that right.

if an actor doesn't want to talk about politics because he is a little bit or very conservative, you should consider that a cultural victory for the left

There the camera movements need to be noticed. Both aesthetically and formally. Like its also the rare occasion where cinema has acknowledged that Tom Cruise is really short and yet he can command a presence much bigger than himself.

I’d say Digger is below the other two. Eddington is the best of the three. But yeah it’s in that realm. An American art film in the school of Synecdoche New York, which looks to be a seminal film for this century.

This is the first one of his I liked. Didn’t care for Birdman, or Babel or Revenant which they all liked but this one is very good. Technically it’s a step up not too many stupid camera movements. And it’s really sincere and smart.

MEGALOPOLIS, EDDINGTON, DIGGER. Everyone gangsta until someone drops a really interesting and stylish film that asks questions about the nature of reality.

This movie was really let down by critics. Like I don’t know if it’s great but it’s definitely a good film. And I like it more than other Inarittu. It deserves better.

Hickman is just too big brained and awesome for Marvel editors who can’t think beyond a tacky 90s theme song.

Hickman says his X-Men plans would eventually have forced humans and mutants to confront a technological ascension that made their conflict increasingly meaningless.

Okay I just saw #Digger. And yes it is the final bowling alley scene raised to 2hrs. And that’s a cimplement. Because I actually loved the film and I think it is a good movie actually. Great, maybe not, but it’s actually a good film in terms of what it’s trying to do.

Tony Blair at the outset was seen as a positive figure. Someone who helped end the Irish troubles with a fair compromise and regarded as a step up for world leaders. He stabbed a lot of people in the back.

Well with production lead time being what it was, that was written and recorded well before that fiasco. The same episode also has Rowling. Yeah celebrity cameos are snake eyes On Simpsons.

"JK Rowling is already a billionaire and everyone already knows about Harry Potter, what's the point of boycotting?" Nobody thinks boycotting will bankrupt her. We know she's gonna die rich. We're just asking you to show a shred of solidarity with trans folk. Absolute low bar bare minimum shit.

I do think the notion of “treating with respect the person/idea/thing you were supposed to dismiss“ can trigger rage like nothing else. It exists in all forms, from mild to dangerous. In all discourses, important to silly.

It did seem that Digger is the final bowling alley scene in There Will be blood stretched to 2hrs. Also there will be blood was made for $25mn even if it looks 10 times more expensive.

I legit think that was the reason. Protecting ASM editorial feelings. Hickman himself said that he has no recollection of anything like it happening. So the motivation isn’t financial.

it was smart of jacob geller to only post about what he did to his 50k followers on here instead of to his 1.5 million youtube subs or on his patreon. that way fewer people know about it and he limits the financial hit

Probably THE most persuasive tool we have as Video Essayists is using ourselves as the uncomfortable example The fact that in 10 years he never made a video about this "life-changing rehabilitation," a thing many young people NEED to learn about, in my mind makes his work cowardly & self-serving 💁

Can someone track what Hickman said at the time. Not impugning him or anything but this seems like a striking case of a writer saying one thing for PR reasons and then saying an entirely different thing once dust is settled. It calls into question everything writers say at any time.

Alan Moore deconstructed the superhero genre. But there is one thing he never broke, nor did Garth Ennis or Pat Mills. The genre must always end with a fight where punches are hurled and thrown. #Lanterns is an example of a show without a final fight and it proves why they didn’t break that code.

I LOVE how similar John's journey in Lanterns is to Clark's in Superman. Both men of about the same age whose journey is all about forging their own path and not the path intended for them by their parents. This connection IMMEDIATELY makes the idea of them forming a Justice League feel natural.
