Movies (and occasionally face slaps) (Part 1)

Oh man I’ll bet. I think those references are why they’re more than just fun movies. They make most excellent literary and historical references.

I always thought Miller wrote about fascism the way Moore and Verhoeven did fascism but there is some strong recent evidence to the contrary. It’s still the way I choose to think and reflect on The Dark Knight Rises, Returns, etc. regardless of whatever his actual intentions were. I understand conservative fear and the uselessness of vigilantism specifically because of Miller’s work.

Studios have just figured out there are comics about stuff other than dudes in tights so you can expect decades more of this stuff. The tangential superhero stuff we’re seeing on streaming (The Tick, Boys) showing how normal people react to superheroes is going to get squeezed for all its worth, too.

Watching the Yankees just now Michael Kay announced it cause they’re celebrating Jackie Robinson Day in and he was in 42.

2020 can just go ahead and fuck right off.

Aw man no :frowning:

he was diagnosed in 2016. How did he manage to hide that from the world for 4 years, while filming multiple movies, doing press tours, comic-cons, etc? Seriously, I’m in shock.

Yeah this is shocking as fuck. A secret cancer battle. I wonder if the producers and such knew?

Wow RIP

One of the founders of one of the big women’s poker organizations was actually part of the production company that produced Marshall. I’ll have to ask her next time I see her, though, who knows when that will be, and it might be a sensitive subject.
