And of course we had to include some of our favorite costumes too for the #SummerOfSuperheroes

Inspired by the digital green suit in GREEN LANTERN, here are some of our other least-favorite cinematic superhero looks. (Marc submitted the BATMAN AND ROBIN bat-nipple costume but clarified that he actually kinda likes it.)

Your point about that discussion being so much more oblique than in movies from twenty years earlier was really striking.

Ha, nice to think of someone re-reading a review from that long ago! I think I would write a more negative review of that movie now. I did an interview in the past year or two for a doc about the representation of abortion in Hollywood & talked about it a lot.

Shoutout to the always-great @thehighsign.bsky.social, whose writing on KNOCKED UP from 2007 really anchored our efforts to wrangle the many strains of discourse that surrounded the movie.

The greatness of THE SUBSTANCE is that a movie this unsubtle can speak to so many different groups of people.
