It's a soft reboot anyways. They're just going to kind of never ever mention it again kinda like Abomination in the MCU but it still happened.

Abomination was supposed to be in Age of Ultron.

They should have included him. It might've made the film more interesting.

It looks good, but I don't want to see it because I'm sick of immediate reboots. Film franchises aren't video games for which you can hit the reset button and start over again if you die on the first stage.

The first movie didn't do any irreparable harm to DC continuity, so why is a reboot needed?

Yet Americans used to love baseball

Part of the reason why basketball and football overtook it. The downfall of boxing was boxers fighting defensively. If they went out there and beat the hell out of each other, it would be as a big as it ever was.

This would be funnier if Biden weren't guilty of the same.

The main reason for voting him was to get children out of cages. But the detainment units are plastic now, so I guess they have a better view. Yeah, I know it's Trump who's responsible and fuck him for it. (I voted against him twice.) But getting them out of there should literally be top priority. We can fix roads, shake hands, and give speeches later. Get the kids out of the damned cages already.

Whats funny is I hear people say Americans need non-stop action, then say football is too boring.

Soccer is a low scoring game. Most Americans don't watch it because the majority of us don't want contests that can end with a final score of 2-0.

The term "tits" has appeared in children's literature before.

I forget the name of the book, but I remember it from a story I read when I was in school. There was a twelve year old boy who had a crush on a redhead girl with freckles. At one point in the story, she leans over and he stares down her shirt. He then boasts to his friends, "She even has freckles on her tits."

The woman who wrote that book did a really good job of capturing what it was like to be a twelve year old boy. Both in terms of the budding sexuality / curiosity and in terms of the way that young boys will make "accomplishments" sound greater through omission of details. Out of context, he made it sound like he was able to get her with her clothes off. In context, he's just an opportunist staring down someone's shirt.

I have a soft spot for Ikiru as well. Not an action or samurai film but rather a film about a dying low-level bureaucrat who see's that his life was wasted pushing pencils and decides to build a public park as his last endeavor. Stars Takashi Shimura who was the 2nd main actor behind Mifune that Kurosawa would cast. Love this movie.

It's great that Takashi Shimura was able to play a dying old man... and then went on to play the leader of a group of samurai. That's flexibility.

(He was also in Godzilla.)

What do you feel were it's story and direction problems?

Vincent Canby of The New York Times said it better than I could; "Halloween III manages the not easy feat of being anti-children, anti-capitalism, anti-television and anti-Irish all at the same time."

It's pretty nonsensical. There isn't a lot going on until near the end of the movie and, even then, it feels really disjointed.

Yeah, I'm sorry. Season of the Witch doesn't need a re-evaluation. It's boring when taken as its own movie.

It has a few good performances, and one truly memorable scene, but it had problems on a story level and the direction could've been better. The robots were more silly than scary.

She was playing a character. I bet the real Anita is pretty chill.

In her first few episodes, she had her hair down, brought up some legitimate issues with regards to inequality, and peppered her videos with some comedy. Then she adopted the flannel outfit, started speaking in an authoritarian voice, and brought up intentionally bad examples to troll people.

She's like a lot of people who speak on sensitive subject matters: they galvanize their side by offending people on the other side. It's the same method employed, to varying degree, by the likes of Richard Dawkins, Michael Moore, and the late but unlamented Rush Limbaugh.
