This is a question I have had, as well, and I am surprised that neither of the gawker articles on the subject of sexbots has addressed it yet. And not a single word was given to consent in the comments of the last article, either. Images of sexbots from A.I. were posted in celebration of the brave future we have…

I think it’s sensible that most of the main characters would have an almost mythical reputation with the generation after them, so I am not going to be mad at all if Han is a legendary figure in the ST. Maybe most smugglers have a little funko! pop figure of Han on their navigation boards now?

I feel like a pointy nose guard is a little self-defeating. I looks like it’s going to stab him the first time someone bonks him over the head!

I have enjoyed every season of Korra and while I’ve had my criticisms, I was surprised when I discovered how polarizing the show is for some people, whether it be the second season or the last that is getting the hate. Unalaq didn’t bother me much as a villain, but I do prefer Kuvira over him, so while she may have…

I enjoyed the last two seasons more than the first two, so it didn’t feel like such a sudden reversal for me, but it definitely ended on a high note, which many shows fail to accomplish.

True! If Hathaway gets a nod for simply reading Hawking, Cameron should be on this list for his contributions to oceanography.

I hope this does not indicate that Han is somehow more important to the lore of the sequel trilogy, because if anyone should be an urban legend, it should be Luke Skywalker. Making Han Solo an urban legend in the story is certainly more meta, given how beloved he is out here, but in universe, Luke is something else…

It...is explored. The fact that the Jedi were corrupt was a major plot point of the prequels, as well as in The Clone Wars. I think it’s pretty clear that the Jedi being less than perfect is entirely intentional.

I can imagine that working in the industry changes the equation dramatically! I’ve never studied film formally, but I was an aspiring filmmaker once, and my siblings still are and work very hard at it, and we regularly discuss movies and argue about the latest FILM CRIT HULK article. Movies - and what they mean - are…

I think its all a matter of degree. If I really liked a movie and she was indifferent to it, who cares? Not everybody loves The Dark Crystal, that’s cool. But if she utterly loathes a movie that I am a huge fan of, that could mean trouble.

Perhaps no single movie should doom a relationship, but I do wonder if taste in movies isn’t an indicator of compatibility. Movies are just entertainment, yes, but they are also art, and they have meaning to them. Likewise, a persons taste in movies carries meaning for them and says something about what they value in…

Having good sportsmanship goes both ways. Being a sore loser is just the flip-side of gloating, which is what teabagging is. If you don’t want people to be sore losers, don’t be rub it in when you win.

For the longest time, I thought people stopped teabagging back in 2004 or something. Please tell me that the 400+ people who voted “Not shitty at all” are still in middle school, because that was the last time I’ve seen an adult perform that act non-ironically.

Picard may have some sort of aristocratic backround (though it is a strange thing to say when the 24th century Earth has eradicated class), but Picard doesn’t identify with his upbringing, which is much more important to his character. It’s very telling that Cruz chooses to define Picard by his placement in the…

Cattlefield: Herdline

Yup. Nobody ever complains that Game of Thrones uses too much CGI, but they actually use it all the time, very often in the same ways that the prequels did, like making a room or hallway seem bigger than it actually is. It’s constant, and when used well, nobody cares.

It goes both ways, too. Many of people fail to realize that RotS used more miniatures than the entire original trilogy combined, simply because they can’t tell the difference. Many times when they say, “this shot looks shitty”, they are dissing the hard work of both digital animators and skilled model builders.

Yup. But I think the average viewer has a hard time articulating exactly what it is that makes them dislike a film, and a lot of people simply resort to analyzing the tangible bits, like whether the CGI looks good. Which is why Disney spends so much time harping on about these things in their press releases. It’s hard…

I don’t remember every being shown that “EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE” was celebrating. Just a few cities on a few planets. And why in the world wouldn’t people celebrate the death of their dictator? People celebrated the death of Osama bin Laden, when not only did his death not end the war on terror, ISIS arose in the…
