Is there any better poster-child for "career that he deserved" than Christian Slater? I mean, like a blind squirrel finding a nut, even Hollywood sometimes finds its way.

I this case not having the Mars part seemed like a good idea - at least it would be a different take. Now, it seems like they didn't replace what they took out with anything, so that was a failure. But bland lead, slumming villain, PG-13 action, chick-fu, science a climate-change denialist would bristle at and a…

Was anyone? Sure, I guess it's a make-do for people with librarian fetishes in the 21st century, but it was always so incredibly forced, calculated and focus-grouped that you never really could take it seriously. Girls who dig tech stuff? Sure, great, awesome. Girls who dig tech stuff and wear it like a badge? Nice…

Actually ignore that boilerplate gender crap. Through the Earth's core? Seriously. Through the core? How stupid can this movie be?

It's odd - in the trailers, you show one of the female leads punch another in the face, as if it's "badass semi-waif-like model chick is badass" and yet all I could think of is how cliche'd that was - she wasn't beating the crap out of a man (kinda disturbing to mouthbreathers) or having a man beat her in the face…

The first season, seqason-and-a-half was my favorite TV show at the time. I found it funny, a little biting, and the don't-give-a-fuck attitude (or what I though it was) was refreshing. It was only when either I started noticing or they started changing that I stopped finding it funny. Part of me is embarrassed that I…

That was Randy trying to pick up hooker-Cartman, right? Having not seen much late-series South Park, but knowing how big a character he becomes, I'm assuming that doesn't come up much? Or is it now me being naive?

Yeah, I know who much we worship cults, but just because you don't venerate every saint of your movement doesn't mean the way you agree with 90% of it somehow becomes irrelevant. If I don't like this particular pope, does that mean I'm suddenly not Catholic?
