Ugh. From the looks of the trailer, it’s a Battlstar Galactica reboot redo with cowboys: Robots gaining sentience and fighting back. Deja Snooze. Go home Nolan brother, you’re drunk and pretentious.

Another Earth was tediously pretentious, so I don’t have high hopes for Doctors.

Stop writing headlines that order me to stop doing something.

Nope. AOL. You’ve got data!

You, sir or madame, are an insufferable prig.

How about you stop being a busybody and trying to micromanage other people’s opinions.

Agreed. It’s a major writing failure. If it’s not on the screen, it’s a plot hole.

I enjoyed the very clever were-switcheroo and the great Rhys Davies performance, but I was a bit put off by the script’s cutesy-pie self-referencing and blatant fan service. It also seemed that the two leads were mugging like they were in an Ocean’s Eleven movie. What made the classic comedy episodes work was that

Jesus wept, at the clone factory.

I’m happy to hear that Garland will be going “off-book.” That trilogy is one of the most frustrating shaggy-dog stories I’ve ever read. Narrative disorientation may be a valid literary theme, but it’s not a very sustainable or satisfying one.

Can we say she’s ludicrously overpowered? Or will that earn us another hand-slap “Is not!” article?

The video narrator... why does he talk like Comic Book Guy on the Simpsons? Is there a Stentorian Nerd region on the spectrum?

But how often do chunks of a planet the size of earth achieve the escape velocity needed to send them into space? Wouldn’t it take a pretty rare and major cataclysm for that to happen?

MMFR is a master class in action filmmaking. It builds its characters by showing rather than telling. I know that in today’s age of expository television dialog and pat pop-psychology “character arcs,” this may seem jarring to you, but this is pure cinema. This is the sort of filmmaking that Hitchcock always advocated

I dropped the show after about 10 episodes. I tried to go as long as possible, because I love the idea of a microcosmic Marvel TV universe. But I was yelling at the television too much as Jessica’s character continued to make completely nonsensical decisions (kidnap and torture Tenant to coerce a confession to be used

Charlie Jane’s recap-reviews of this guttering series are far too charitable. I wonder if her kid gloves treatment has something to do with aspirations of one day writing for the show and not burning potential bridges.

I sure hope this isn’t a high concept twist ending movie: A Retro-futuristic Berlin sounds a lot more “Cabaret” than “Casablanca,” and odd American surgeons in a dystopian “Cabaret” city are likely to be performing illegal transgender surgeries, which means that the woman that prettyman Skarsgard is seeking is... the

Now you’re just writing fan fiction.

Bezos doesn’t want Amazon Instant Vid on the Apple TV. So that’s not going to happen.
