On the intro to Fray, he went on about how Kitty Pryde was his favorite character and he wanted more characters like her. Which, cool! But then he went on about her body and how he wasn’t into the usual buxom superheroine types. And I realized, at the time, that he somehow believed being attracted to slimmer,…

While I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment, I’ve been saying for years that the legend of Firefly is waaaaaay better than the reality of Firefly, a show that ran for 14 episodes and got itself into consistency and writing issues during that time. Same for Dollhouse - High concept, flawed execution, especially in…

When the discussion is about misogynist power dynamics and your contribution is essentially “Eliza is hot,” maybe best to just not contribute.

It’s actually worse than that - mf’er began his career by scabbing during the 1988 WGA strike with the help of dad’s management team. That shit reveals what kind of person you are, and absolutely no one will mention it because he was such a ‘job-generator’ for so long.

I gotta imagine there’s a point where the interviewer, regardless of what kind of article they intended to write, realized just what Whedon handing over. Just a slowly dawning realization, "he's really just going to say this shit"

I think it’s evidence of just how garbage women’s roles in media were for a long time that people fell all over themselves for his female characters. Only hire male showrunners - > get garbage female characters. And then drop dead with thankfulness when female characters are only sort of problematic.

He's always been like that in interviews, it's just been about things less meaningful. People don't like your toad getting hit by lightning line? Blame it on Halle Berry's delivery. People don't like your alien script? The director shot it all wrong! Dude's never heard of the word accountability.

It was a great demonstration “getting out of the way and letting the interviewee to the work”.

Vincent D’Onofrio is Kingpin and previously Thor.

I don’t think it was because of Rodney King specifically, but James Cameron has actually gone on record to say that the T-1000 being a cop was specifically a (negative) commentary on the types of people who become cops

I mean, Rust...

because everything that Lucasfilm (and Disney) has on the screen, whether big screen or streaming is deliberate

the funny part is they don’t have action figures for any of these guys, since manufacturing them in time for the show’s release could’ve spoiled things, i guess.

Boba Fett owes his entire existence to being an action figure.

This really is panning out to be a show we're all desperate to love but can't quite manage, isn't it?

If there is one thing we’ve learned about Boba over these first episodes is that the dude has an impeccable eye for recruitement.

While I did still enjoy the show, although certain aspects of it will soon probably become grating, there were three visual scenes that legit made me giggle over how utterly silly they were.

Personally I got a kick out of the accidental(?) Tokusatsu bit with the Young Fettsters and their color-coded bikes. If they don’t end up merging into a mini AT-AT in the finale I’ll be a little disappointed. 

As slasher movies go, Scream is a separate beast. I find it incredibly misanthropic, in part because it acknowledges the reactionary sexism of its own premise, but mostly because it’s set in a world where no one is ever kind, ever. Everyone in the movie is always lying and/or being cruel and/or absorbing lies and…

But I actually think the latter trend is kind of good. Let’s have more heroes of our stories grow up to have their lives fall apart.
