What

 

What are you confused by

 

I thought it would be nice to have no more Argylle or Bob Marley trailers but the theater tonight was threatening a return of the Tom Hooper Les Miserables movie so it is a wash.

 

it's been a decade-long bit with my friend group about the trailer they'd run before other movies at Regal for les mis talking about how they filmed it live for the first time ever

 

This " lol the commies are trying to claim Starship Troopers as their own now" Twitter stuff from all the most media illiterate reactionaries on the internet is making me insane I swear.

"sounds like they never read Heinlein's book!". Yes because the book is actually outwardly fascist, Verhoeven is on the record saying that he loathed the book. The film is making fun of the book. This isn't complicated.

 

Most humans are stupid

 

" Verhoeven tried to read the novel but ' I stopped after two chapters because it was so boring ... it is really quite a bad book ... it's a very right-wing book ' "

lol

 

I’m going to see that Les Mis rerelease with my wife and mother in law next weekend. I have no connection to the story at all

am I in for a bad time

 

Tom Hooper was the worst director of the 2010's.

 

I haven’t seen any of his movies apparently

 

I’ve never seen a Tom Hooper film and I’m mostly content in that fact, but I do kinda regret never making it out to Cats in theaters.

 

Personally, it's a bad movie... That is all

 

Russell Crowe might be one of the worst castings in the history of movie musicals, up there with Pierce Brosnan in Mamma Mia. Don’t let the movie scare you off the show.

I had to sleep with the lights on after seeing Cats. So unsettling

 

This popped up on my timeline. Had never heard the commentary lol

 

Something a lot of people miss, or thought it was a mistake in the film, is that Argentina is white and full of people speaking American English. As far as we can tell, culture and language has been completely replaced by the hegemony.

 

Watching Medicine Man and was I just fooled by The Sopranos, is Lorraine Bracco a terrible actor?

 

Hooper is hit or miss. The Damned United and The King’s Speech are good movies though he doesn’t do anything special directing them. Les Mis is mostly good but has noticeable flaws. The Danish Girl was just dull. And the only redeeming things in Cats are what his cast does in spite of him letting them down catastrophically. The failure of that is entirely, 100% his fault.

 

The only Hooper film I’ve seen is Cats.

 

Beatles Cinematic Universe

 

doubt

 

god they're gonna suck

 

Sounds fucking awful

 

If the Paul McCartney one isn’t about him dying and being replaced by a doppelgänger then I don’t want it.

 

i have to imagine it'll be about linda dying

 

We don’t need all that.
