    I don’t like Elf. It’s not a problem with the movie so much as it is that the “idiot man child” that Will Ferrell plays in most movies is not enough (to me) to carry a movie.

    Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is better than any family film has any right to be. It’s a good movie made for everyone instead of a kids movie made “good enough” for everyone.

    The problem with Fight Club was that Tyler was so cool (due to being an embodiment of toxic masculinity) that people didn’t realize that he was the antagonist. Edward Norton’s more balanced view of the world was healthier when he decided that Project Mayhem needed to be stopped.
    Yes, the system sucks.
    Yes, people’s friction between reality and their view of masculinity is a problem.
    The solution is not to blow up the system and embrace hyper-masculinity. The solution is to grow as a person and break down systems of oppression.

    The Kingsmen did a better job of showing cool fights, while also acknowledging that finding peaceful solutions was much more noble. Consider that they didn’t go to the final location to kill Samuel L Jackson, they tried to blow up his satellite, stop his plan in other ways, and killing him was only done when it became clear he wouldn’t be stopped any other way. Even the people in charge that died only did so after selling out to Valentine and signing on to his plan.
