Here's the thing with that: Those movies didn't belong to "us" or "the fans" or "the people" or anyone else. They belonged to him. They existed solely because he wanted them to exist. And as he has reiterated a zillion damn times by now, he doesn't see art as ever truly being completed. If he felt the need to change…

Judging from their depiction on The Clone Wars, they kind of are assholes.

I actually thought it was some intentional misdirection. Make him seem like a tool and "kind of a mess," but then start showing how he's actually a pretty great person who would do anything for his child/sort-of-wife.

I caught them when they weren't reruns. And yeah, that show was pretty out there. But Steven the Roiling Ball of Appendage-Cats was legitimately disturbing.

Having just watched this episode again, my opinion of it has only improved. Heck, I feel like it pretty much deserves an A on the strength of the art alone. Gorgeous, truly special work on display here.

Oh, "Cat Fingers." The closest thing to Akira-level body horror we'll likely ever see in American children's television. Which is probably a good thing, I guess?

Except there are still a bunch more members of S.H.I.E.L.D. than just Coulson's core team. They always have a bunch of nameless grunts in combat gear to fill out the scenes, not to mention all the ancillary technicians, engineers, lab assistants, and so on that keep things running. And news of it had clearly spread…

He worked on The Mindy Project? Huh. I had no idea. If you want to see some great stuff with and about him, check out the Hungary episode of Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown.

Regarding connections - or lack thereof - with the rest of the MCU, the only thing that strains credulity a bit for me is that S.H.I.E.L.D. wasn't investigating Kilgrave after word of his acts had actually made it to the news in New York. Which isn't to say that involving them would have made the show better; it most…

Making it a virus definitely made it less plausible, not more. And even sillier is creating a vaccine for a virus with some basic lab equipment overnight in a hotel room. But that was, unfortunately, not the episode's biggest problem. It's the only one that feels sloppy.

The important half? He doesn't have legs or guts or genitalia anymore, but he does have fancy cyborg limbs. He's gone after Obi-Wan multiple times on The Clone Wars and was seen most recently escaping after he tried and failed to take out Palpatine and Dooku. So his fate isn't set. He could easily still be around…

Yoda has an arc on The Clone Wars where the voice of Qui-Gon tells him to go on a spirit quest or whatever in order to learn about maintaining oneself in the Force after death. And it's a great story. No cheese to be found.

And if a crazy villain-fighting finale were required, well, it's canon that Darth Maul survived. So there's your big bad, most people's favorite part of the prequels.

I get why a lot of people aren't so hot on With Teeth, but I loved pretty much everything about the Year Zero era.

I've had such a weird reaction to this film. Coming from someone who cares way too ridiculously much about such things, not to mention someone actually enjoys the prequels and is completely unapologetic about it, I had the most muted response I've ever had to a Star Wars movie. I definitely liked it and plan to see it…

Boy, would I like to know what Laura Poitras thinks of the character clearly inspired by her (and Glenn Greenwald).

Self-satisfied bags of dicks?

I just wanted to note that that the title of this project immediately made me think of Miyazaki and Takahata's pre-Ghibli Panda! Go Panda!

"Our evolution didn't hinge on passivity." - Bad Religion, a voice of the aggressive left if ever there was one. And that's right, of course.

The Abrams comment suggests that sensitivity to the Force should be a pretty egalitarian thing, but that's never really been the case. That said, it is supposed to be a matter of degree. Most people are not, in fact, dead to the Force. They just have substantially less ability to access it.
