In light of what has been published in the manosphere, I'll have to reconsider Stillman's body of work. Perhaps they work as portraits of naive blue-pilled men looking for love.

The holy foolishness of Whit Stillman sharpens the wit of Jane Austen’s "Lady Susan" into wisdom
By Christopher S. Morrissey

Kate Beckinsale’s masterful performance as the charming but amoral Lady Susan Vernon in Whit Stillman’s hilarious Jane Austen adaptation Love & Friendship is a rare cinematic experience. Its memory stays with you long after viewing the film. While Stillman’s screenplay takes its inspiration, and plunders all the best lines, from Austen’s La...

Future Comic Book Movies

Collider has some coverage of Comic-Con and posts with info about Marvel's upcoming lineup as well as the Zack Snyder Superman movie. There are still plenty of people who are excited about these movies and willing to purchase movie tickets, so there is no end to them yet. The info about the Captain America movie may excite fans because it hints at the return of a certain character.

I saw a TV spot for The Dark Knight Rises, and Anne Hathaway doesn't compare to Michelle Pfeiffer. Apparently Hathaway's Catwoman is less feminine than Pfeiffer's; her lines seem like to embody the attitude of the modern Uhmerican woman who thinks she's strong and independent and is critical of men. (iirc, Pfeiffer's Catwoman was a bit of a misandrist because of what happened to her, but her attitude isn't the same.) My doubts about the movie remain.
