“The Day of the Doctor” didn’t seem as if it was riffing on how they used to be the Doctor, but was rather how each of them was the Doctor. Perhaps the previous script was less about them and more of a meta-commentary, which wouldn’t have worked as well.

it was basically myself, Matt and Dave riffing off the fact that we used to be the Doctors.

Correction! Demolition Man was 1993 not 2003 :)

You haven’t seen the 1978 Invasion of the Body Snatchers?

Pocahontas You won’t have to go around the river bend now to watch this top-notch Disney animated film about the legendary romance between a Native American woman and an English explorer.

1-2. I’d say these are the risks inherent in turning a 250-300 page standalone novel into an open-ended TV series (see also The Man in the High Castle, The Haunting of Hill House). The novel ends with Offred either being murdered by government operatives or escaping to Canada, where she lives an anonymous life of…

...linking Bill Clinton to Epstein’s demise. (That he’d do so was particularly bizarre, given that Trump also knew Epstein for many years, calling him “terrific” and telling New York in 2002, that Epstein “likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”

Thank you for this article. It brings to mind Sinead O’Connor’s public outcry over what was happening in Ireland and abuse - and now we know deaths- of thousands of newborns and wee children right in front of the so called blind eyes of the government in collusion with the Catholic Church.

Aging Anakin up to be like 12 or 13 solves one of the biggest issues at the heart of TPM.

I recently rewatched the whole series, and I didn’t think Phantom Menace was that bad. Attack of the Clones is so much worse. The outdated CGI is way overused compared to Phantom Menace, which relied on a surprising amount of practical effects. Anakin comes off as such an unlikable creep. Padme is rightfully turned…

Rewatched this with my son (who loved it) and realized how much of the film’s problems actually fall on Jake Lloyd just not being that good of an actor (which is totally not his fault and he never deserved the stupid attacks that 30 year old men threw at him). If Anakin had been portrayed as a teenager it may have…

The teaser poster had me so hyped! (The movie didn’t really live up to it...)

“For a movie that seemingly puts too little thought into dialogue, acting, and story, loads of thought was put into every other aspect of the film.”

In black box theater, they don’t add the props and scenery in later.

...but there is a long tradition in theater of actors standing on stages with nothing but a blackbackground and no props acting their asses off...

good point, but i’d venture that audiences have different expectations of what acting feels “successful” or “realistic” in the theater world

“Get your camera from, you know, Kmart.”

You are 100% definitely desensitized to violence from the media you’ve consumed.

I think your criticism of the quote is misguided. I’m not saying what you wrote was false or anything, just that you missed the point the writer was trying to make. Yes, no one will think punching your way through real life is a proper strategy to deal with troubles because you saw it worked in movies. Yes, the…

“That all being said, The Boys is an Amazon production, and no amount of biting critique is going to change the fact that it’s every bit a part of the big machine it’s rallying against as Warner Bros. or Disney.”
