Twister is one of the rare films that is largely about research scientists collecting data for further analysis.

That’s called ‘luck’ ie random chance. Nobody chooses the family into which they are born, whether that’s a family with all the necessary connections already in place, or the resources necessary to buy or make them. It’s just random chance.

Charlie Cox is not only British, but he studied at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, the same acting school as Olivia Colman, Daniel Day Lewis, Jeremy Irons, Anthony Hopkins, Patrick Stewart, Pete Postlethwaite, Matt Ryan, Ray Stevenson, Mark Strong, Gene Wilder, Naomie Harris, and many more.

Hey, never say never. I started out writing fanfic for Stargate SG-1, but I stopped when my original novels started being published. Fast forward a few years, the people contracted by MGM to release the official novels were looking for fresh blood. They asked their established authors for names. A couple of them…

Daredevil: Born Again must include Alice Eve as Typhoid Mary. This demand is non-negotiable.

I mean, the question is was all this lore supposed to be literal to the people experiencing it or just mythology as handed down to future generations. Say, like the formation of Maui to Hawai’ians as depicted in Moana. I suppose since there are supposed to be elves who are that old and it is living memory it could be…

Definitely the coolest BTS footage from LOTR was of the sets that shifted in order to maintain the forced perspective shots while the camera moved.

So, I had the most massive crush on a coworker of mine years back. It came up in conversation that I had never seen these films (her favorite) and she could not abide this. We spent the next three nights watching the extended cuts, then decided we liked it and continued spending all of our evenings together until...…

If they’re going to use Stranger Things as a metric, everything is going to be cancelled after one season. If a production even gets green-lit.

“WWII-era jets” that’s no jet. 

I mean.. Stranger Things, for sure, is stretching the bounds of believability a great deal. But deportation operations have happened. All Margo had to do was get out, get to the coast, and get picked up by a boat to Cuba. they are on an island off the coast of Florida, after all. Any surveillance they had on her…

Not sure what Netflix and “Russian Flawless Teleporter™” are referencing...

I can see some of your points. Not sure what Netflix and “Russian Flawless Teleporter™” are referencing...

The show has been great since the start .

For All Mankind has no problem killing major characters. Like, a lot.

Well, about 84 years ago a guy in Germany went insane and got a whole bunch of people to believe Europe was his. He got this Italian guy to help him and then, almost out of nowhere, these Japanese guys were like “hey, that sounds like an awesome idea” and did it in the Pacific.  It was kind of a big kerfuffle.

I don’t mind this change in the origin, but I don’t prefer it. I said this in previous She-Hulk articles, but it bears repeating - all that really needed to change was adding Jen’s consent. Like, cut the mob stuff - that’s fine. An accident that requires a blood transfusion is all you need. Have Bruce triage her in a…

Counter-counterpoint: rescue any of his victims.

I think it’s because sometimes less is more. Movies like Jurassic world have better technology and better CGI but they’re filmed more like a superhero movie: trying to show off what they can show you. In Jurassic Park, you’re seeing things from basically the same POV as the human characters. In Jurassic World, you…

The different SG teams had different specialties and were equipped accordingly. So SG-1 was the first contact team, they didn’t go in with heavy weapons so they wouldn’t intimidate the locals. That’s why they had the MP-5s and later P90s; just enough to defend yourself if things go south and you have to book it back…
