I think Fincher made the best possible movie you could given the source material, without making major deviations (other than the reveal, which I thought was an improvement). If there's a problem it's probably inherent to the source.
Saw ABRAHAM LINCOLN VAMPIRE HUNTER. If you accept the premise going in it's exactly what it promises to be -- a ridiculous action-horror film with Abraham Lincoln as the main character. It moves a little too fast to really engage with more than superficially but it's enjoyable enough. But coming off BATTLESHIP and PROMETHEUS my calibration on what constitutes an "enjoyable enough" action movie may be out of whack.
Bleh. Anyone who needs to use a sarcasm tag to make themselves clear shouldn't be using sarcasm. It's the "Student Driver" sign of internetting.
At least when he puts out a new version of one of his movies he doesn't try to deny the previous ones exist.
I've heard fob here in the U.S. It's definitely a slur, as it refers exclusively to people of Asian descent with heavy accents. Never heard it refer to any other group of immigrant-by-boat.
"No worries" was originally a down under thing?
At first I was like "Damn," because I want to do a short film about Aurors.
But then I was like "Phew," because the main thing I want to do it for is to make a cool(er than the films) wand duel, and AUROR'S TALE seems to do wand duels the same way the films do. It does a very good job of emulating the feel of those, though.
Sure. And I don't think anyone involved with the Avengers posing image or arguing from my side of the fence is advocating the idea that if only Black Widow weren't posing like that, sexism would be over. It's just if something is happening all the time everywhere you look, it's possible to become so inured to it you don't even notice. It's at the point where this kind of thing needs to be pointed out every time -- the poster in question being but one of many -- to actually shake things up and help people notice there's an issue. And there comes a point also where you have to say "Okay, from now on, no more passes on this." The poster just happens to have come out shortly after that line got drawn.
I don't accept "that's just how it's always been" as the rationale behind any form of discrimination.
Yes, women have always been portrayed as sex objects in comic books to pander to young men. The entire culture treats women as sex objects to pander primarily to young men. That is precisely the problem at issue here.
