I believe the official explanation re: gender was to make it easy for the audience to identify whose head we are in. Riley has a mix, and they have more unique looks as well, because hers are all defined characters who we spend more time with. Everyone else has emotions that just look like stylized versions of their…

I viewed tonight’s finale with a heavy heart, a tear in my eye, and a colon full of Arby’s.

I don’t think he would, either. Or that Moffat would, if he did any hypothetical rewrites. I just like that the actresses transgendered status had nothing to do with her getting (or not getting) the part, it was her acting ability that got her the part. So I think it would cheapen a bit the accomplishment of her…

Most notably, according to The Independent, “Black’s character is not transgender, and she was considered the best actor for the role.”

I hope they manage to get the rights to most or all of the references involved, and that if there are any important ones they can’t get the rights to, that they come up with an equally applicable alternative reference rather then trying to foist a fictional equivalent on us.

I agree that this is a problem. But at least it isn’t a problem (as far as Blu-ray cover art goes) domestically. The images in that tweet are covers of foreign editions.

Ha ha. I suppose not. Still, it is not as if tea time is something that takes an active part of the plot. More the titular phrase is just a way to describe the ennui some characters are suffering from. And "tea time" is, if not a practiced thing in the U.S., still a known enough about thing here for the metaphor to…

That was my first thought as well. Although frankly, I am more concerned about the setting change's effect on the plot rather then the humor. (I'd trust BBC America, a network that is based around bringing "Britishness" to America, to not try and Americanize the humor...)

Books will never be obsolete. Just ask Samuel T. Cogley, attorney at law.

My ears caught that, too! I was looking through the comments mainly to see if anyone else caught it. :)

I doubt it would happen, but it would be cool if they could present, as another bonus feature, a movie edit of the story of Telltale’s Back to the Future: The Game. It is a very cinematic game, and with Telltale’s cooperation, I am sure they could assemble footage in a way that tells a cohesive narrative. Basically,…

Been there, done that...

Bah, I don’t need a remake of any sort of The Last Starfighter. For the most part (casting, story, production design) the original is one of those perfect movies the way it is. There is just one area where it hasn’t aged well...

As a Transformers fan, the biggest disappointment to me were that the only new reveals were all repaints / remolds. They announced a lot of repaints and remolds at Botcon, too, and I would have defended them then. After all, they also announced some new figures, and the repaints they did announce then were decent ones!

Forget crops. Send it to California, and convince rich idiots that the latest fad is milk-watered lawns. Then maybe there will be a bit of water left for the crops!

Sometimes I wonder if I was the only one who actually liked this movie. Is it a perfect piece of cinematic majesty? Hell no. But I did find it an enjoyable popcorn flick.

That does seem to be the common assumption. But this has never been specifically said in any live action Terminator production. Normally, I wouldn’t be too annoyed by such a thing, but when the fact that nothing purely mechanical can go through has been a plot point multiple times, it would be nice if they could just…

Yes, indeed. However, that still ignores how it got through with no living exterior. Only a liquid metal one.

Although not to my memory ever addressed in the films, a T-1000 does not contain any organic parts. Otherwise, how could it change its shape so easily? How could it flatten itself enough to hide as a floor or a mirror? So it doesn’t have an outer organic shell that would age. It could, however, mimic an aged…
