BLACKING CROSS: AN AMERICAN FAERIE TALE
1. On Chester Hill
The neverending sky was growing dark, it was nearly bath time, and Jane was dearly hoping for a final cup of tea before bed to stem the approach a looming headache. So, of course, Michael was hiding.

A big reason I think people are losing their shit for RRR (other than because it fucking rules) is the way its narrative, emotional, and visual clarity are always perfectly in sync even though EVERYTHING is turned up to 13 or 14 (11 is a bit low for these dudes).

Fun fact: gg was a violent alt-right hate campaign that was a breeding ground for the shitstorm that hit in 2016, was a major element in the mainstreaming of white supremacy, any attempt to justify either its supposed or actual goals should be treated as disingenuous at best.
the anti-gamergate people who have remained liberal and are mobilizing against Bernie Sanders effectively demonstrates how the overall effect of GG was the cementing divisions between conservatives and liberals

"Hot take" about the MCU Spidey films:
They're *not* about a junior billionaire fighting working class anti-heroes, they're about angry well-off white guys who want a bigger piece of the pie & throw a teenager (and by symbolic extension, his generation) under the bus to get it.

Toomes lives in a McMansion in the suburbs, even! There's an entire action scene full of gags about how it's a hostile environment to the *actual* "working class hero," Peter!

GHOSTBUSTERS: ANSWER THE CALL has:
- the best villain of the franchise

- A CHRIS HEMSWORTH DANCE
And *killer* chemistry between the leads. If it had released in 2017 or 2018, it'd have been an absolute smash.

Gay and trans youth get assaulted and killed when they they go out. Unarmed POC get gunned down by the police when they go out (or in their own homes). A restaurant choosing not to accept your Nazi gold ain't getting "ambushed."
You don't like it? Leave the party.
This is absolutely insane - and extremely dangerous. My father in law works in the administration, does this mean when we go out to dinner we should be ambushed?!? Don’t ever again give me any of the “when they go low, we go high” lip service.

Well, SPIDER-VERSE is a better comic book movie than *all other* comic book movies, so this checks out.
ENDGAME punches my feelings harder though. Which is saying something.
I doubt most people will agree with me on this, but even though I enjoyed both, I think Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was a better comic book movie than Avengers: Endgame.
It’s funnier, tighter, has a better story, has more heart, and it’s more interesting to look at, too.
