Galadriel’s sword-fighting exhibition was a gas—excellent choreography, music, and performances

If I recall, Terry Farrell’s exit on DS9 was also kind of shady. She did not get along with Berman either, and he pretended that she had left the show to go on Becker while she only got that show because she knew her contract wouldn’t be renewed.

It’s pretty rich to insist on historical verisimilitude when it comes to diversity and women’s subjugation, but not when it comes to dragons, ice zombies, resurrection magic, warging, or shapeshifting assassins.

Speaking as somebody who had a lot of issues with her solo film, and who didn’t particularly enjoyed her character being reduced to a Deus Ex Machina in Endgame, I don’t think Larson has anything to worry about. With many heroes gone or about to go, the MCU would be unwise to get rid of Captain Marvel without having…

Just think about how much time people spend learning the intricate details of fictional worlds (which have little to no effect on their everyday lives), and how much less time they spend learning the details of the real world (which can literally kill them).

Rhaenyra sometimes kind of seems to be close to what passes as a protagonist in GOT. Like I said, I’m using a very loose definition here…

This is Game of Thrones at his best: when a hero - and I use this term very loosely - makes a single mistake that has grave repercussions for multiple characters at once.

I don’t approve of Downey’s comment but someone should tell Inarritu that going to another country and referring to an element of that country’s culture as “cultural genocide” isn’t going to incite people of that country to help you make you feel more at home.

You could argue that Mass Effect 1 could’ve added more diversity to their planets but I overall agree with this video that “there ain’t a lot to see out there” is sort of the point.

I’m not referring to the quality of the film. I’m talking about the behind the scenes conflict.

By “fictional historical drama”, I mean that Martin is more interested in the life in medieval times than the fantasy elements. Yes, he was inspired by some real events here and there, but that’s not what I was referring to.

I’m a QA and if those quotes are representative of the rest of the interview, I am not offended by this. I don’t think he’s talking about completely replacing humans by machines - developers will always need flesh and blood QA - but the long, repetitive tasks are a big issue, not just for the production but also for…

I’m not denying things are going very well right now, nor am I predicting an imminent downfall. I’m just saying that if another behind the scenes conflict involving her is rumored in her future, people won’t be so quick to take her side. A “diva” reputation has to start somewhere.

Star Wars and Star Trek are always compared to each other but probably shouldn’t be. I feel the same about these two: LOTR is (mostly) for the whole family and GOT is for adults only. Also, the former is about fantasy while the latter is essentially a fictional historical drama with fantasy elements peppered in it.

I realize that it’s fashionable to dump on Wilde these days but I wouldn’t be surprised if that story ended up hurting Pugh more in the long term.

Part of the reason Blanchett can take such pride in movies like Carol or Tár is that they explore new horizons for how sexuality gets portrayed onscreen—and teach viewers those horizons are possible. Blanchett is right that both films don’t solely ride on their lesbian protagonists, but that fact is a lesson in…

Ok, that show is definitely not for me so I’m leaving here. It doesn’t make me laugh and the tone is too light, even for me. Would it kill them to have a little longer episodes and develop their characters a bit more?

This wasn’t the greatest sketch in SNL history but I get that they were trying to capture the sadness of the moment while also paying homage to Leonard Cohen, who had died that week. This was not a point as low as having for host Paris Hilton, Donald Trump or Elon Musk.

I miss Roger Ebert. The discourse was so much more civilized when he was still with us, and this column is a good reminder why.

“The final images of the movie, to me, are not deconstructing the myth of Luke Skywalker, they’re building it, and they’re him embracing it,” Johnson continues. “They’re him absolutely defying the notion of, ‘Throw away the past,’ and embracing what actually matters about his myth and what’s going to inspire the…
