Actually, that movie jumps through a lot of hoops to establish the specific soldiers that Captain America punches in the face as not really-Nazis.

I don't know, I suspect she's projecting stuff more than anything else. I mean, even if the conversation inevitably turns to literature when she's asked about her job, you'd think that every once in a while there'd either be someone who's taste in and knowledge of literature matches ALONE's, or someone who just isn't…

I see. In my view that's unreasonably self-centered, but I certainly respect that we can't control how we feel about things as well.

Fucking hell. All the signs were there for Mozza fully embracing reactionary stupidity, but it still hurts to see it laid out like this.

Not wanting to be around happy people with healthy relationships seems a bit unreasonable (unless they're absolutely insufferable about it of course, but are all your friends really like that?) Also, there are probably socially acceptable ways of broaching the subject of wanting to hang out with a specific person…

One of few good decisions Scott made in relation to Prometheus, then. And who the hell is Lindelof to talk about "continuity issues", anyway?

…including Jet Li's foot, as he kicks a cueball into the head of a corrupt cop that's trying to kill him. Wouldn't his shoe more or less be filled with pulverized bone after that?

Enemy at the Gates was certainly dull for long stretches, but I remember the sniper battles being both intense and well made. Good enough to warrant a honorary mention, maybe?

Joy Division - Transmission. The only guitar solo I regularly hum loudly and aggressively out loud, like Barry from High Fidelity. WAUGH-WAAA-WA-WA-WA-WA-WAUGH-WAAA-WAWAWAWA-WAWAWAWA-WAUGH-WAAA etc.

How is that more of a superhero movie than any other featuring Batman?

You're not wrong, but the show also had a pretty noticeable uptick in broadness (or at least jokes over realism) in season three or so.

I also found the serial killer of the week-stuff to be the weakest part of the show, but it slowly winds down during season 2 and is almost (if I remember correctly) completely gone by season 3.

On a similar note, while it's of course not even on the same scale as "true" whitewashing, this show's tendency to use British actors with outrageous accents to portray eastern/northern Europeans is kind of below it's usual standards. Also, this episode had the most fake looking Eastern European Nazis I've ever seen.

I'm guessing they knew at the start of the season that Savitar would be evil Barry Allen from the future, but the logistics of getting there were TBD by fan reaction and what the writing team came up with as the season went along.

I haven't followed The Flash this season, but this review sure makes it sound like Berlanti, Guggenheim and c.o managed to make three seasons in a row with a mystery villain whose motivations and general deal is pretty much nonsense.

"A woman asks if it’s okay to out her 13-year-old daughter to her mother."

…and Phantom, with Ed Harris and David Duchovny.

It does fit pretty perfectly into the "stuff you shouldn't need charity for"-category.

That definitely sounds pretty awful.

I never saw The Patriot, what makes it so awful?
