I'm amazed that people are shocked about James Gunn's humor, considering he spent his early career working for Troma and co-writing some of their scripts, including for Tromeo and Juliet which included incest, lesbian sex, and a bunch of other stuff. Oh, and he did the PG Porn webseries. It's kind of a similar transformation IMHO as Peter Jackson (Meet the Feebles, Braindead, Bad Taste) or Sam Raimi (Evil Dead).
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

I'm as shocked as the guy in Treasure Island when Tim Gunn appears.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

James Gunn got canned from directing guardians of the galaxy 3. People dredged up some old tweets where he used (in his words) "dark humor"

Looks like if I ever become successful, my career in the showbusiness will be felled by some trawling through Paradox OT...  :hmm:

Ah well, at least I've never used twitter.

I've no idea what happened with Gunn but sad he's of GoG3.
2 was a bit of a drag vs. 1 but had its moments. 1 was awesome.

Apparently we are getting a black version of Buffy.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

They've tried to reboot buddy a few times.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Does that pique your interest?

Did you watch the first series?

The Aquaman trailer looks horrible, I'm assuming it didn't have Avatar budget.

Had a dog named buddy.  I hated that dog.  Fucking mean.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

The Brain

Abzurdah. Highly strung high school chick falls in love with older guy she's met through a chatroom, and has extreme reaction when things don't always work out the way she wants. Reasonably OK but nothing special. Notes: the movie is in Foreign. Based on a true story. [spoiler]There is no lesbian sex.[/spoiler]
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

The Brain

The Chosen Ones. Young man's job is to romance girls and get them into forced prostitution. Remorse haunts him after his first "kill", but can he really save her? Totally OK. I've been watching a bunch of contemporary Latin American movies recently and they've mostly been in roughly the same style (a good thing) and those have all had good endings. Notes: the movie is in Foreign. [spoiler]There is no lesbian sex.[/spoiler]
