I’m becoming more and more frustrated with all sides of this but mostly Liv. Especially, with the way she keeps usidng Major and relying he won’t retaliate because he still loves her. All the while undermining all he’s trying to achieve without ever trying to actually discuss their point of views.

I’ve said this elsewhere — and even posed it in a staff chat — but after the initial thrill of seeing characters I’ve loved my whole life return (and seeing a new Star Wars movie that wasn’t terrible), TFA has not aged very well for me. It’s...fine, but I don’t love it. Many of the reasons you guys have touched on…

None of it mattered from a narrative standpoint since a version of the Empire returned. But it very much mattered in the moment. This may not be the best analogy, but off the top of my head, If we knew that 10 years from now a fourth Reich would rise in Germany would the citizens that have lived without one since…

Yeah, I was hoping that with some time between the first viewing and now that I might have come around on the movie. Alas it was not to be. I’ll still go see 8 and 9 - because goddamned if this series isn’t baked into my DNA at this point (and perhaps with the rest of the story, my feeling will change on 7), but I’m…

Not just that it didn’t matter, our hero’s trio lives were all miserable till the end. Han and Leia are “divorced” and estranged from their son. Han spent the rest of his life scraping a living smuggling, and Luke loses all of his pupils and goes into exile.

TFA is kind of weird. At first some people loved it, then they hated it, then they loved it again. As for me, I’m mostly in-line with your opinions (especially #2). Some of it felt more like fanfic than an official Star Wars film and I walked out of the theatre feeling more glad that it was over than anything else. I…

I don’t mind that the new trilogy is all about new characters. It makes sense. But I just don’t understand this decision to do so at the expense of the OT, because for those of us who grew up on it, TFA (and TLJ now, too) just seem to want to do away with them. Which is fine, then just do it and not have them return…

I watched E7 last night in preparation for the new one. It was the first time I had seen the movie in two years and only the third time I’ve seen it (which, being born in ‘69, the prime demographic for the first one when it appeared in 77 and raised on the franchise my whole life, is a prime indication of what I think…

Might as well throw in some Utica greens, too, since that city is basically if Cuse was on meth for a while.

I haven’t seen a less enthusiastic rush of the field since The Battle of the Somme.

I agree Urban was by far the best part of the new Treks, but I’ve always liked Pine as Kirk, even though I usually hated how Kirk was actually written.

“Best show on CW!” You spelled iZombie wrong.

I thought this was a pretty weak comeback after last season (which was awesome). I’m hoping they can situate the time police so they can go forward with adventures.

This episode also looked cheaaaaap. And this isn’t a show that works well with a lower budget.

the final chapter of the Star Wars saga will feature “the war to end all wars,”

I think the theme song to Meet the Press sounds like what a tv station would use to promote a football game in the Star Wars universe.

Like I said, any attempt at intelligent satire comes off as unintended. It was a dumb fucking movie that backed its way into looking sort of smart to some people.

Counterpoint: Starship Troopers sucked. I think most/all of the satire was unintended and Verhoeven is a fucking hack.

I’ve gotten really tired of all the people who insist that the only reason others don’t like it is that the satire was too subtle. It’s not subtle, and it’s not very good.

Yeah, I thought Caitlin was going to stay Killer Frost, but a kinder, gentler version (Chiller Frost?). I guess something happens to bring her back to her old persona.

No Total Recall, Predator, Interstellar, The Martian or Event Horizon, but we do get Dune, AI and Buckaroo fucking Banzai?
