I like the on screens because I like the dudes' rapport and hearing people talk about blockbusters without going too far into either end of the Marvel Fanboy / RedLetterMedia spectrum

It's really refreshing to hear people talk about the Marvel movies like they're actual movies expecting a plot and characters and stuff.

*in a trampoline salesman's voice* Hey, I just watched Death Wish 5, blammo. The sick way in which Bronson's character, Paul Deathwish, sets up for the badguys in the movie is really heinous. It's weird to watch him smile wryly to himself while watching a character burn alive in front of him after we spend 5~ minutes humanizing the very same villain

The Vosgian Beast posted:The Death Wish movies have some really gross fascist undertones Which is insane, considering where the franchise started at. The first movie is a pretty grimy affair, but it definitely doesn't fetishize the gun violence in any real way. I think the WHM boys used the term in their episode on Death Wish 4, but that first movie is an actual movie. The sequels went in a real gonzo direction, which I feel probably had more to do with Cannon steering the ship than anything. Unfortunately those latter movies are what became what Death Wish was, which is why we're getting this idiotic Eli Roth shoot-em-up reboot instead of something more subtle and reflective like the original film.

Death Wish 1 is a real movie. Death Wish 2 is a basically a remake. Death Wish 3 is loving bonkers B-movie territory. It's a hoot and a must see if you like trashy movies. Death Wish 4 and 5 are just bad movies. I really have no idea how they made 5. Bronson looks like he's on deaths doorstep the whole time.

Other than some online spaces that nobody in the broader world is paying any attention to whatsoever, it's overwhelmingly popular with everybody worldwide, including (especially, even!) among people on the left.

Given how their feelings on THOR changed I wonder if it'll be the same for BLACK PANTHER (Though ultimately BP is the stronger movie). There's a lot I really like in that movie, but in hindsight, its flaws become more apparent. It sounded like Steve was about to address something that bothered me as well with Daniel Kaluua's character but he gets interrupted and drops it.

They kind of fall into the trap of bashing the dumbest 1% of takes to be found on the internet on something (sexist stuff about nu-Star Wars, racist stuff about Black Panther, etc.), and sort make the leap that "those takes are stupid, therefore the movie is good".

What was that movie that Andrew was thinking about? Where the guy wearing the wire was sweating so much it shocked him. I know I've seen that movie but I can't quite remember which one it is. I'm pretty sure it wasn't a comedy. The scene was supposed to be pretty tragic. I remember the guy got killed by the mob. But that was in flashback to someone else, I think the FBI/CIA agent or lawyer who was forced to put someone else in the same situation again and he was worried that his new informant would share a similar fate.

I'm happy they brought up Freddy Flakes lovely home life like I mentioned earlier. It's pretty bizarre to see how nice his relationship with his wife and stuff is, really humanize him, then murder him with a rated r home alone gag.

New mailbag has a great story involving a dance-off. It has nothing to do with movies and doesn't end with someone making GBS threads themselves so I have no idea why they included it other than the hilarity value.
