Gunn Shooting Blanks?

James Gunn has called Andy Muschietti’s upcoming The Flash ‘one of the greatest superhero movies ever…‘ and that’s only true if you’ve seen very few superhero movies, because if you have, it isn’t. It has many problems, the most significant being Ezra Miller – never mind his various, and well-documented – problems in real life. […]

REview: Hypochondriac (2022) | Depicts Schizophrenia in a Cinematic Though Honest Manner

I’m not typically a fan of movies that depict characters that do things as the result of some vaguely defined mental illness because they’re often entirely geared toward sensationalism.

When I woke up this morning one of the first things I read was a story on Buzzfeed about the racism Caleb McLaughlin (Stranger Things) was encountering from the series’ fandom and while none of that should have been a surprise – he’s a darker-skinned male in the United States, racism/sexism/nativism/whatever -ism you want – […]
