Evidently there's an embargo still up (Or possibly just went down? Hitflix's review is up: http://www.hitfix.com/motion-capture…). However, early word is generally positive.

Pretty sure the last one is just going to be one long Battle of the Five Armies sequence.

One thing I've noticed that oftentimes on sidewalks or in grocery stores (in the US anyway), people usually also WALK on the right. I've always wondered if this was a result of the way people drive or something else.

Yeah, one of the main themes that I get from the books and the show is deromanticizing the feudal system in high fantasy after years of Tolkien ripoffs had sanitized it to the point where it could seem sort of noble. So many fantasy worlds are pretty much just set in the Dark Ages but with dragons. Part of the point…

I think the processing of this image was handled by the same woman who did this:

That's what worries me. That and the fact that maybe we're overdue for a bad one.

I remember when Eccleston left, I thought "This new guy won't be better." And I liked him better. Then Tennant left and I thought "Okay, but there's no way that THIS guy will be better" and I liked him even better. So now I'm thinking that maybe the next guy will be okay.

I feel like there's going to be a lot of frustrated guys using this as a way to confirm all their pet theories about women, so instead of wading into that, I want to point out that HOLY SHIT the Smurfs have TAILS! I have never noticed that before.

They're still terrifying, but the fear of feathered things isn't quite deeply ingrained in the human mind as the fear of scaly things. I think that (along with your garden-variety resistance to change) is why some people push back against the idea of feathered dinosaurs.

Yeah, which always bugs me because he's such a transparent plot device.

Hes like the Han solo of the series, hes cool suave and completely outrageous but is still badass somehow.

Is it just me, or have they given the dragons the goofiest faces? Whenever I see a still picture of one, I get reminded of this video:

Do you think they'll actually kill her off the same way she dies in the comics? Because, even though it's a super-pivotal moment in the comics, I'm wondering if the unknowing general public (or at least the Sony execs) might find it too similar to that time in those OTHER movies when the Green Goblin threw…

I dunno, the show doesn't have the moment where Hot Pie shouts his warrior's cry of "HOT PIE!" Point one for the book.

I guess to me these words have been said so many times by so many people over the centuries that they don't even strike me as particularly tied to their time period anymore. They might have been utterly Elizabethan when they were written, but they've been woven into the fabric of English literature and performance to…

I've heard this sentiment before, but I don't understand it. Why would anyone want a Shakespeare play without Shakespeare's words?

Upooon her kneeee
So fine to beeeee

This strengthens my theory that the returning David Tennant will be playing the alternate universe Doctor, and that he is The Valyard. Because that's the only reason this would make any sort of sense.

That's true. I guess that's more the other thing, where people aren't as angered because they haven't really experienced murder personally.
