Tomorrowland & Joss Whedon
May. 22nd, 2015 01:53 pmI just came back from watching Tomorrowland. It was okay -- it's all what you want from a Disney movie with all the tenets of every Disney Inc property in attendance: There's Always Hope. Don't Give Up. Someday, It'll Get Better. Sorry, my inner cynic is showing. I really did enjoy it -- it's just that Disney has the balls to make digs at dystopic lit/movies and grim-dark anti-heroes with tragic backstories/father figures, when one of their biggest moneymakers is a tin man with daddy issues.
Speaking of disingenuous, I was reading something about Jurassic World, where Joss Whedon tweeted about the 70s era sexism in a clip he watched. Hilarious. For one thing, it's a clip, it's not in context. Another, who died and made him arbiter of all things gender-related? Maybe, he should watch his own recent blockbuster movie. I'm a fan but sometimes, he can be such a douchenozzle.

Jun. 21st, 2014 01:11 amI was entertained. And all these homo/slashy comedy between him and Channing was fun, but it was just as funny (or even funnier) in Hot Fuzz. Maybe, my enjoyment was dampened by all the homophobic BS surrounding Jonah Hill. Full disclosure: I don't like Jonah Hill. I find his humor uncomfortably offensive and there's an undercurrent of creepy that I can't shake. Anyway, here's the thing that I can't let go of from his apology tour: Faggot is the worst thing he could think of to shout at a pap. Seriously? He thinks the worst thing to call a man is that you fuck other men.
Think about that.
Think about that.
