To add to @Bastet 's list, This Film is Not Yet Rated is about the MPAA rating system -- how it's membership & methodology are shrouded in secrecy, how there are no clear guidelines or rules for filmmakers or raters to follow, and how violence, sex, and LGBT sex are viewed differently.

Which franchise? Spiderman or MCU?

Well, there are two movies that were clearly "of their time"!!!

What do mean "not even good"?!?! You just listed all the reasons it is AMAZING.

Serenity "I know who I am. I'm the dude playin' the dude, disguised as another dude!"

I'm just saying that the dismantling of the apartheid state, the TRC, and the massive political, social, and cultural upheaval in South Africa in the 1990s and the 2000s informed Trevor's character. I find it strange to imply that the only framework to understand his exposure to or understanding of racism is his experience under apartheid, as though South Africa turned into some form of "post-racial" utopia in 1994.

Not really -- he was 10 when Nelson Mandela was elected president. He "came of age" in the full bloom of the Truth and Reconciliation period. It's still stunning and depressing that the overt racism of the US is overwhelming to him.

Well, yes but I feel like those are both subtexts of what would have to be more publicly palatable reasons that I can't figure out. "Solar panels are stealing from God!"

This Means War bugged me because the guy she ultimately chose to be with was the one who was most consistently lying to her on all of their dates.

Without investigating this at all, I just cannot fathom the reasoning that would go into legally blocking renewable energy.

Just FYI, The Big Sick is based on Kumail Nanjiani's actual relationship with his actual (now) wife -- she's the cowriter on the script, although not the actress playing the girlfriend. The trailer looks good and I've heard good things about it from podcasters (who admit to being friends with Kumail).

Baby Driver is a "musical caper"?!? What? That should be an interesting couch. All of them have had good appearances in the past but I feel like those were also co-guest supported, if you will. It will be interesting to see them together.

Sweet Jesus, when will I learn to never read the comments?!

Oh, I know. ;) (Honestly, I recently re-read Harry Potter and I have no trouble separating the characters from the actors except for Neville. All through the early books I'm like, "it's okay, Nev, you'll be uber hot some day."

I haven't either but I'd imagined a more Marvel-esque series of stand-alones within universe?

My mind is so dirty.

I didn't even fully understand what I was looking at half the time but I'm still psyched!!! Eeeeee!!!

Don't fuck this up Coogler.

I love that Richard Gere's more recent love interests are younger than when he did a movie specifically about a May-December romance. (A larger age gap, I mean.)

It's not like he's doing anything differently from any other actor, casting director, producer, or Hollywood generally. http://www.vulture.com/2013/04/leading-men-age-but-their-love-interests-dont.html

I had to IMDb that to confirm that is actually Lin-Manuel.

I don't know how "sexy" I find him but I've loved Sam Rockwell since Galaxy Quest. God, that's a good movie.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited. I love that he back-flipped over the bed.

Thank you.

"semi-celebrity" BWAH HA HA HA!!!! John would love that.
