Uggghhhhhh. He released his grip on the helipad just so he could flip his hand over, grab the helipad again and really flex his bicep for the camera. Are you kidding me?? Lame.
It's one of the only Marvel movies I've ever seen and I for some reason went to the theaters on Cinco de Mayo to see it with friends when it came out. I literally laughed out loud in the theater.

Dunno about the rest, but Dolph Lundgren has a masters in chemical engineering so yeah, I assume he's pretty intelligent.

I think censorship implies that a legal authority is determining what can or cannot be expressed. It's coming from above. This is way murkier, in that you have a wierd ass Twitter chorus expressing their anger (which ironically is probably a vocal minority and not necessarily representative of popular opinion) and artists/distributors are now learning to not to push boundaries for fear of the backlash.
Not thinking of any movie in particular when I say that, but yeah, it seems like a bummer. Then again, movies have always faced criticism and backlash, historically to the point of legal ramifications for creating smut and video nasties. So it sucks, but I wonder if it's a necessary part of the overall evolution of the industry. Racist and sexist shit was plenty pervasive in movies for a long time, so maybe the pendulum unfortunately needs to swing the other direction a bit before it settles into an ideal resting position.
Don't ask me. I'm stoned.

Ugh, that's too bad. Imagine how famous he could've been as a filmmaker with your insight at his disposal.

But he probably has no idea it's solely because he completely exhausted his creativity trying to come up with Teriyaki Donut. Please, for the rest of us, go inform him immediately. We may only get one more movie out him before he retires and this criticism is invaluable.

What an airtight line of reasoning, nobody could possibly argue that logic. You should let him know.

For the reasons I mentioned. He would probably consider it a wasted opportunity to express his creativity and create unique products for his movies, which adds depth to his worldbuilding. And he doesn't need or care about the money.

Tarantino avoided product placement and instead created his own nonsense products that have become iconic in their own way, like Red Apple cigarettes/ tobacco or Big Kahuna burgers. It adds to the unique atmosphere of his movies and gives fans fun Easter eggs to find. Not to mention he's doing just fine without Pepsi lining his pockets.
So you sorta made an odd choice to single him out. If anything, he's a perfect example of why good creators shouldn't engage in product placement.

The House That Jack Built was extremely unsettling and has some imagery that is still seared in my brain years later.

It's bad enough he wrote a sewer child orgy scene in It.. thank God they had to sense to not try to film it. I like some of his works but Stephen, what the fuck were you thinking?

Impossible for food to get stuck, which seemed to be a priority for you. And easier cleanup, which you also mentioned. Not to mention my smoothies dont separate and get runny, which you mentioned is a problem with yours, although the ingredients I use probably help with that as well. It also comes with attachments, so I can also use it as a food processor when I need to.

Meh his movies are decent. I don't consider him a horror king or a genius though.

Up until that moment I was trying to be a team player and was on board. I just have my limits.
