My state of paralyzed disgust at watching Atlantic Rim, even as a riffed target, was mollified a little when I realized that it was not actually a ripoff of Pacific Rim. Oh, no. It was a ripoff of Stealth. Sweet Christmas that movie was bad.

Considering the last time I saw Neron being his usual demondouche self was in the Midnighter and Apollo miniseries, I will freely admit that I briefly entertained a sliver of hope that those two might, someday, show up on this delightfully batshirt show.  

... okay, it’s one thing to do a full home-run swing at ssssSSSSYMBOLISM, yes, but I’m sorry, I know that particular glass ceiling. I’ve stood there. That’s the ceiling of the concert hall of the Palau de la Música Catalana. The Doctor just shattered a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site.

Also it puts a spotlight on the enormity of the Company’s crimes — all of these affable folks are dead, and so are their kids.

I’ve always found Director’s Cuts to be interesting case-by-case studies of how the experience of a movie might change between the theatre and the home release; it actually started when I was voraciously consuming novelizations of movies and began to find some that wildly differed from what I saw on-screen, plot-wise…

“Stick around.”

Does Andrew Nivens (Donald Sutherland) count?

Re: The Flash and casting call for Ragdoll.

Agreed to all of this. I really enjoyed the movie and it’s got good rewatch value for me, so I’m looking forward to the prospect of seeing the story continue in this universe.

The generation that was a bit too young to pick up on the chest-squeezingly accurate metaphor of growing up during the first time we watched Hook, only to immediately recognize the only-slightly-exaggerated depiction of work literally killing a person’s sense of joy when we watch it now? Whatever that one is, I guess.…

Speaking as an adult (more or less) that grew up colouring the illustrations of my Pooh storybooks with crayons... this movie has the potential to be our generation’s Hook, doesn’t it? And I loved watching Hook over and over again at my grandma’s place, but I don’t think I got it at the time, y’know?

That sounds like a wicked dive. I think there’s a part of me that’ll always be humbled by just how alien underwater environments are. The wrecks are hauntingly beautiful, slowly encrusted by sea life and awesomely preserved... but underwater caves are like nothing on earth.  Caves that could fit cathedrals in them.…

Yeah.  I never considered myself claustrophobic until I read into cave diving.

In short, all of the above.

Speaking as someone that was SCUBA-certified a few years back, the risks and realities involved in cave diving scare the utter bejeezus out of me.  All of the nope. I could not trust myself to remain unaffected by claustrophobia, hyperventilation, and wetsuit-filling terror.

Terminator II, hands down. No contest for me, as fun as Back to the Future can be.

I used to be afraid of life imitating art along the vein of SkyNet. I’m not sure how I should be feeling now that it’s resembling an actual dang episode of Better Off Ted.

I desperately need to add Big Eden (2000) to this list.

Agreed. While I am pleased that my personal favorite Midnighter made the list, to exclude freaking Robocop is a travesty.

Oh! Sorry... this was for Alien: Covenant.
