It was so bad that he's already predicted razzies for worst screenplay, worst performance by a bald wig and least likeable male protagonist.

readingatwork posted:Blind Alley I guess it's a bad thing that this comic just makes me want to go  Vintage Valiant (Oct. 26, 1947)    This whole scene has been pretty awkward (the "mace" is plot relevant and pretty uncomfortable IMO, more on that later), but I don't mind Val tricking the Indians with "magic" too much since he's done the same sort of thing successfully to people back in Europe too. Inadvertently burning down half the town and not caring doesn't exactly make Val look like a good guy here though.

"Disgustingly shameless award bait and "for your consideration, give me better roles" as a small self-made film" says RogerEbert.com "The entire film feels like the lead-in scene to an adult film about how women are still women regardless of circumstances but the only people getting screwed in the theater are the audience" raves Peter Travers of Rolling Stone. "Maudlin and forgettable" says Ignatiy Vishnevetsky of The AV Club.

All those months of build-up with the tortured hand wringing about allowing the film, the loving awful on-set scenes, the pathetic cameo nonsense, the lust for fake cancerwife while notlisawife was in the room, the talk of how pleased they were with the results and how hopeful they were for its release... Then he tossed it all away and the film release and bomb is handled entirely off screen. The other characters apparently not even bothering to pay attention to how the film has done. All the real-time drama as they see the critical response, the takings returns, the immediate questions of "what does this mean for me as a writer/producer/actor". All the interpersonal drama there to mine for story. It's a masterclass in avoiding the interesting plot.

The real drama was in giving Les Moore a chance to roll around in a big ol' pile of sanctimony about how his Great Art is so much better than crass Hollywood productions, and let him demonstrate once again the purity of his grief for his dead cancerwife. As far as TomBat was concerned, the story was done as soon as the actress playing Lisa thanked Les, because his beautiful words and compelling manpain convinced her to get a mammogram, thereby saving her life.

this wilbur story is so bizarre because we're clearly supposed to think he's being a creep, or at least a bad date, but we've also been shown just how jealous and upset his ex is at him on a date and presumably will go to get him back. i simply can't believe that someone would write dialogue for a week straight where someone is just repeatedly comparing someone to their ex on a date and expect the reader to think anything other than "this guy is being weird".

I don't think she was really shown as 'jealous' though. It was more like, "You yelled at my cat, I said we should take a break, you threw a fit about how I was choosing a dumb animal over you, and now two days later you're out on the town with a new woman and a dog? What the gently caress." It has read to me since the beginning as Wilbur being completely awful, and doing absolutely nothing to actually change or think about what he did despite Estelle's prior willingness to give him another chance.        I see her as reassessing and realizing that actually Wilbur sucks and doesn't even miss her, raising the question of how much he ever really cared about her (she is unaware that he will not shut up about her on his date lmao). I don't think anyone who draws a cat with that much affection is going to write a story where the guy who keeps implying he wants to murder pets is in the right.
