In 2016, after Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke lost the “Blurred Lines” lawsuit (for the first time), more than…

Seriously what the fuck is with the Blade Runner 2040 snubs. It’s easily the best film I’ve seen this year.

You might remember that the Watchmen movie was accompanied by a video game tie-in. It was called Watchmen: The End…
As somebody who doesn’t live in the USA and is therefore not drowning in a morass of racial neuroses, I don’t find anything remotely offensive about Rowling’s description of Native American magic.
Yesterday, Star Trek fans were up in arms at the news that CBS had filed a lawsuit seeking to shut down the hugely…
Ha! I didn’t see this thread. I just made the same joke about the non-Ripley female dialog in Alien. Or worse, Alien 3. :)
I just imagined wes anderson’s black panther being set in a small cottage in India. There he must escape the zookeepers with big butterfly nets as they chase him through an almost model-esque European city.

That’s fair for a miniseries that has been thought through as one entity from…
Fall movies? Fall movies are nothing. (Well, except maybe that The Force Awakens one. I have a good feeling about…
I bet that if it launched post-GoT it would have had a chance. Much like how Firefly could have survived in a post-BSG atmosphere.
King Silas Benjamin in the fantastically underrated show Kings
I just want it to work.
And here is the part where you guys start piling on the criticism and snark about what is wrong with the movie, rather than lauding its attention to scientific accuracy. Ugh.
