When you say "Remake" you should break it into two categories: remakes of an original film, and "alternate adaptations" of books and theater. I mean, there are many versions of Hamlet, but is one a "remake" of another? Both are really adaptations of theater performances. Film adaptations of books are a whole…

This is one of the interesting potential stories I'm surprised the EU never got around to; the aftermath of a galactic-scale Hiroshima bombing, the destruction of Alderaan. Well, part of it is just that the EU books skipped ahead in time for many years - by the Thrawn era it was 9 years old. But that 3 year long gap…

I don't think you should have used a photo from Return of the Kings; Lord of the Rings infamously had a bittersweet ending; mirroring Tolkien's nightmarish experience in World War I, in his story "you can't go home again". Frodo is so traumatized by what happened that he can never fully recover and has to leave…

I'm also confused at what happened to the Water Tribes in the 70 year gap.

I think they did a good job of balancing what we heard; it's not that Aang turned into a horrible father, I mean it's understandable that he 1 - had to rebuild a war-torn world, and 2 - had to rebuild *an entire civilization* 3 - as the only Airbender among his children, of course he had to focus on Tenzin to pass on…

Aang had some problems rebuilding the Air Nomads from scratch, which the comics go into. Basically he deputized a bunch of non-benders from the other nations who wanted to be Air Nomads - seeing it as a culture, not a blood lineage. The problem is that Airbending is now limited to Aang's immediate descendants, so…

Kubrick's film does feel a lot like we're watching ants inside of an ant farm, an outside observer noticing these things going wrong.
While it has interesting cinematography, the film's characters are only a pale shadow of the book ones, when it's really seeing the mundane turn evil, or the Adult Horror of something…

I OWN ALL OF THE BARNYARD COMMANDOS and I have ZERO regrets. They were just well made. Though in hindsight, it was an odd choice to limit it to *only* pigs and sheep, but I never questioned it.

Say. I wonder why fellow Lannister sibling Nikolaj Coster-Waldau wasn't invited to participate in this children's television show?

If the Big Bang started from a single point and expanded outwards, using the analogy of a stone causing a ripple in a pond, logically, there was a central point where it began.

This is a slippery slope to allowing soldiers to marry their combat drones.

What the hell was going on with fashion in the 1990's? It's like bad attempts to imitate the 1980's.

"You can't rule the night!"
"I am the night!"

Those were good, but not explicitly targeted at children.

I didn't watch much of it but I love how Nostalgia Critic summed it up: the premise and everything about it doesn't sound like it would make a good TV show...but they just had *good writers* who put together that premise *well*, really well for what it was, resulting in a surprisingly good show.

Be thankful they've got vampires, werewolves, and succubi, instead of the "magical science in a small town" nightmare known as "Eureka" which dominated their schedule for too long.

Yeah, that's the other one. And "Venture Bros." is the "spiritual successor" made by some of the Tick's writers.

I'm surprised Monsters didn't get a greater cult following. It had really good worldbuilding, and it was dark and bizarre without being goth or Tim Burton-esque. The weird thing was that despite gross-out monster humor (they live in a garbage dump and eat rotting trash) it was still intelligent about it (they live…

I think we need two run-off categories between "live-action" and "animated".

...the relative center of the universe's expansion sphere, circa 15 billion light-years from the edge of the outermost galaxy in any direction. But even that is arbitrary.
