Condescension aside, this is a movie, and a fantasy one at that. I find it odd, from an artistic standpoint, to have multiple, visually similar locales to iconic original trilogy locations.

It’s actually fucking insane that these diets keep popping up and people keep subjecting themselves to them.

I don’t know that he’s a dismal filmmaker (haven’t seem Chappie yet). I thought D9 was fantastic, and while I liked Elysium’s visual style and premise, and it ended up being mediocre due to a poor script. I think if you match this guy up with the right project and screenwriter, he could knock it out of the park.

Seems more like a weird inconsistency than a blatant contradiction. I still would love to hear Scott’s reasoning for the size discrepancy, however.

I’m very excited for new Star Wars, as I’m sure most of us are. However, I still find it so odd that we have a desert planet that looks a whole hell of a lot like Tattooine, but is NOT Tattooine (Jakku), and an ice planet that is ostensibly NOT Hoth...I don’t get it.

Overall, I’ve enjoyed the show thus far, last week’s episode being a standout. However, I think this was the first episode where I found the writing to be pretty poor. I wasn’t happy with the show skipping over 9 days that were critical to showing the outbreak spread, chaos on the streets, and society crumbling, which…

I think you also left out in your review that ONCE AGAIN our fearless band of vampire hunters confronted one of the Big Bads and ONCE AGAIN the Big Bad narrowly escaped. This is at least the third time this has happened this season.

I love this show precisely because of how astoundingly poorly written it is at times. It does have its flashes of cool moments, but they’re mixed in with so many incredibly stupid or pointless (or both) scenes, it’s almost comical. That being said, I’ve stuck with this show thus far, but missed the last two episodes,…

It would be at least something different and, in my opinion, enough to justify Fear’s existence once it catches up with the parent series.

I’m thinking more like Jericho with zombies.

I think it would be a really good contrast to the main show to see pockets of civilization, even entire cities, that don’t collapse. I like the idea of a military-run police state that’s trying to hold it together while the rest of the world falls apart. Then maybe we see an analog to the Salvadorian civil war that…

That’s an awesome point for why Tony would be pro-registration/oversight in Civil War. He’s arguably been the catalyst for as much or more destruction than many of the other Marvel villains. Granted he never had nefarious intent, but his actions/creations have resulted in a lot of death and destruction.

Agreed. I have no doubt that the characters’ motivations are drastically different than the comic’s.

Agreed. The MCU has adapted elements of existing material, but at no point has Marvel done a really faithful, genuine adaptation of a comic. And you’re right, Age of Ultron really only took the title and villain, and that’s it. Civil War is taken the title and premise, but other than that, I bet it bears little…

So your main concern is that the source material has shaky and arguably illogical reasons for the characters to behave the way the do.

This fan-made trailer. Right now.

Was going to say the exact same thing.

This show is mind-numbing in its poor writing. It’s almost comical how poorly written this show is and it amazes me that writing staff remains employed.

I know that they haven’t come right out and said it, but it seems the show has been implying that the initial infection that’s creating the first wave of walkers is airborne, or at least doesn’t require a bite to contract it. You have the numerous references to a “bug going around”, with many students missing school.…

But its NEW STAR WARS, NOTHING IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE! Wait...what?
