I did not remember the five films that were nominated for Best Picture that year. I don’t give much importance to Oscars or any other awards show - choosing the “best” of subjective categories is a thankless task and will never make everyone happy - but time hasn’t been kind to that selection. Frankly, both The Dark…

Meh. For a pre-Nolan trilogy movie, I found this perfectly acceptable. It tries to be more for kids than the Burton films (or almost every superhero film released since) and it can be a bit jarring; this isn’t what we expect from a Batman movie anymore. But Schumacher was clearly going for a Golden/Silver Age or 60s’…

This comment is so out of place. It has nothing to do with the show, or the people making the show. Should we comment on China’s human rights violation every time a Chinese filmmaker releases a movie? Should we mention that The A.V. Club is based in the United States, a country largely build by slaves?

Christian Bale is my favorite Batman ever. Part of it might be that he’s arguably the most talented actor to ever tackle the role (although the versatile Keaton isn’t far behind and Pattinson is still rising) but the biggest reason is that Batman Begins is just by far the best showcase the character ever had. Nolan…

For me, Iron Man 3 is the very definition of a C+ movie - it’s not outright bad but it’s not good either. And the Mandarin twist created so many consistency issues in the MCU: if Killian created the Mandarin just to get revenge at Stark, then who was the Ten Rings organization who had Stark at their mercy but never…

I’m 5'6" but I’m not offended by this. This sounds like it was said in jest.

In all fairness, he’s mostly complaining that CDPR did not give an updated road map. You don’t have to rush your devs for that.

Andromeda also had the misfortune of failing at the same time Anthem did. Bioware made the choice of fixing the latter and give up on the former.

No one has the right to mind other people’s business unless they’re asked to. It’s basic good manners.

DiMaggio doesn’t have the right to be insulted on other people’s behalf either. As other people pointed out, West and Sagal are not newbies and can defend themselves.

I don’t understand that way of thinking; especially not when The Last Jedi - the first Star Wars movie to have 3 Skywalkers in lead roles since 1983 (Luke, Leia, Kylo Ren) - is given as an example of avoiding the past, and when most people celebrate the apparent return of Patrick Stewart as Professor X (a character…

We must be a couple of weeks away from another “Why won’t Hollywood hire Chevy Chase anymore?” article that seems to pop out every now and then. It’s a miracle his career lasted this long.

A lot of Iron Fist disses in this article but it really wasn’t all that far behind the other shows; they started much stronger but usually became a huge mess right around mid-season.

People care (a little) about best actors and best movie winners but the Oscars has many categories (editing, sound mixing, vfx) that, while important for films themselves, aren’t interesting to the casual fan. So, Rogen is right: the ceremony is made for the industry, not for a general audience.

They did blur her breast immediately. Even with a delay, it would suggest that someone knew something would happen.

I do not deny that there was a double standard with the fallout - nor that this is the part that upset most people - but this passage was about the reveal, not the fallout.

He almost looks angry at Jackson that she won’t give him an occasion to play the white knight.

for an incident that was definitely more his fault than her fault

Tolkien liked “dwarves” as a plural but that was never an actual standard, and it wasn’t used to separate myths and humans.

They were not, as far as I can tell. It’s likely they were treated like disabled people for any job involving physical strength, which mining work definitely was.
