the meta-level knowledge donald trump has is that people continue to loan him money even though he doesn't pay it back because his dad was an actually successful businessman
well, that and being a reality tv star. so basically like a kardashian with worse hair, except that kim kardashian is by all accounts a legitimately good businesswoman

This doesn't count as meta-level unless you convey it while rambling about schelling points, chesterton fences, and overton windows.

so basically he's the hereditary free-market king the neoreactionaries want

I know I'm not a fan, but I have no idea why fans are so fixated on getting X-men back with Marvel/Disney.
I mean, X-men kind of feels like it benefits from being its own separate thing? Why does everything need to be added to the already succesful Marvel/Disney empire?

Some of the X-Men films were not very good, i guess. idk what was going on with Deadpool in that Wolverine movie, for instance.
i know i was flippant before, but actually having read Barrowman's comments and that article, it is disappointing. i always thought he was pretty great.
idg why just apologizing is supposed to be so difficult, or why not using a specific word is such a big ask

agreed, x-men is fine being what it is, though i actually haven't heard that much about days of future past, was it any good?
I remember the Watchmen movie being okay. Getting rid of the squid was not a bad decision because the setup, which was a side-thing between two chapters in the comic book, had to be excised from the two-hour movie.
The Mysterious Ballerina and her Tree Stump Ghosts
I remember Watchmen being alright. Although that said I didn't go in with high expectations, and I'm not sure I've rewatched it all that much, if at all, so I dunno where to take that. I guess since I already had the comic I just read that instead

Bad news: The Safety Fairy took the wheels off my limousine to keep me from "accidentally letting my chauffeur drive us off a cliff"
Good news: This makes it much harder for Yarrun to steal
Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
So here's how Sucker Punch goes.
A girl (Babydoll) in an insane asylum is going to be given a lobotomy. Just before she gets hit by the hammer, she hallucinates how she got there, but not as a patient, but as a prostitute/showgirl of a ritzy brothel. Told to "perform" for the doctor/dance instructor, Babydoll slips deeper into another fantasy world as she does so, which is a highly stylized fantasy action scene with robots and zombie nazis and oni.
The girls decide to escape, and their dances/thefts of various items needed to escape are imagined by Babydoll to be daring escapades with lots of violence.
So the problem with this is that after a while what's "really" happening starts becoming obscure in favor of what the fantasy narrative requires. Some stuff could never happen given the relationships between the "real" versions of the characters. Even some deleted scenes make no sense.
Also by the time of the third or so fight setpiece, you're pretty sick of it.

so the issue is that it's disjointed and kind of loses itself then

Yeah, pretty much.
Everyone is also dressed immensely sexy and Babydoll imagines her trip to the lobotomist as her being sold by her pimp to a john known as the "High Roller," which is something that looms over her entire fantasy.
It's messed up but I guess I can't really comprehend how much.

i might see that film someday. my brother saw it and told me it was good.
which according to Snyder was entirely the point and the intent was deconstructivist, whether or not that excuses it
i gather it starts out like an overblown action movie with very stylized, sexualized violence, but then it takes an extremely dark and gruesome turn

/me joins you
also an obsession with seafood, coffee, and expensiveness in general
the notion of mocking "white people food" is quite stupid as "white people" encompassess a huge number of ethnic groups each with their own traditions
this is when i'd say "you're using language wrong, change your blog's name or i mock you"
