IIRON GIIANT

I honestly feel like everybody clamouring for Incredibles 2 doesn't understand what made the movie so great in the first place. I guess superhero movie franchises have just conditioned everyone to wanting more.

I don't live downtown so I've been extremely lucky, so my girlfriend's been staying with me - we went down to her apartment on monday to grab a change of clothes and toss all her nasty expired groceries, and while her building was largely okay (she lives on the third floor, and it looked like nothing had been damaged…

I don't know how relevant this will be to many AVClubbers, but I live in Calgary where the Lone Ranger promos feel to be in especially poor taste lately. Not sure how big the news of our massive flood is internationally, but I have friends that have lost housing and pretty much everything they own. BUT HEY a huge part…

I haven't read them (my brother keeps pressuring me to, so I probably will EVENTUALLY for all the genre-bending, but fantasy is really not my bag) but the young ages are something that really surprised me when I started playing Dungeons and Dragons earlier this year (making my previous fantasy comments hilariously…

rereading Redshirts by John Scalzi. it might actually be my favourite book of all time, I don't think I've found anything more directly inspirational to what I like seeing in stories. The first time I read it I started around 7pm and didn't put it down until I was DONE at about 4am.

I dropped out sometime last season. I remember seeing Naturama but I know I missed most of the run. Am I missing anything special? All in all I'm really not sure why people want more of this anymore.

Is this true or a joke? it's so absurd it can go either way, and I'm willing to look like a dolt by asking because I am really, really curious.

I'm really, REALLY surprised to see this is being as initially well-received as it is. I haven't seen any trailers or anything, just heard the premise and it rubbed me the wrong way/all these guys kind of rub me the wrong way, generally speaking. I guess that's cool that it works as more than an inside joke!

GUHUHUHUHUH

It wasn't!

They're all kinda facets of him, I think. Except maybe Annie (incidentally the character all the writers seem to really struggle with. Oh hey Shirley too)

That's awesome! I admittedly have a really, really tough time with Voyager (DS9 is my favourite series, but I'm way into irony enough to have seen a VERY substantial part of TOS (also, the TOS movies are probably my favourite Trek media. Voyage Home!)) but it's cool to see it get some love/be held above the other…

it gets passable, but literally at the very end (and then it's completely obliterated with the finale). If you're a diehard completist, go for it, but on its own merits it's really not worth it in my opinion.

I never really made the parenting connection, but you're totally right. I always forget what a solid character study VB is (even if I haven't exactly found it all that funny the last season or so (I am still a huge, HUGE fan of the show))

cool story bro/not lying I swear:

I've been calling it Fast Five 2.

This review kinda sums up why I find Brooks' filmography to have little replay value. It's great stuff the first time around, but so much of it is old school 'setup, punchline!' that I find it way too easy to remember the full joke from the first few words. I'm also not huge on how film-specific he got as time went…
