Maybe this is baked into your nobody/Big Time Hollywood Person math, but the three fuckups to every blockbuster seems to only happen if you're a white male. Women and PoC who've made blockbusters seem to have a rule where every failure puts them on double-secret probation lasting anywhere from 3-10 years.

You see, I agree with you now, but the first time out I felt precisely the opposite. The Illusionist announces right up front that the illusions are going to be enhanced by some movie magic, so it establishes that it's cheating right from the gate. The Prestige made a big deal of establishing the realism of that…

I think Darhk doesn't know, largely thanks to Malcolm putting on Green Arrow gear to fight Darhk when he had Ollie captive (so Darhk has seen Ollie and the Green Arrow at the same time). Then again, given that Malcolm's now on Team Darhk, it's surprising that Malcolm revealed Ollie's secret son to Darhk but not his…

It was overshadowed by the Prestige, but I'll admit that when I saw both in the theater, I liked the Illusionist more (the sci fi turn in the Prestige's story felt like a cheat the first time around). Then again, I've never felt the need to see that film a second time, and I'm now pretty much incapable of not watching…

I wish I had more upvotes to give.

Seriously, local children's services agencies should've posted agents at every showing of Watchmen. Pretty simple way to figure out who's on their game, parenting-wise.

In this episode, the only character who isn't a complete imbecile with horrific judgment is Leonard, and to a slightly lesser degree Heatwave. Everyone else seems determined to make the worst possible decision at every juncture, which if they keep it up is going to make this a difficult show to watch. I get that part…

Because Jay is Zoom?

I'm worried that the answer's "No," given that the "Next time on the Flash" seems to feature E2 Barry continuing to be comic relief. The most disturbing thing is that the show tries to handwave away "little" stuff like E1 Barry kidnapping E2 Barry and getting up close and personal with his wife (not in bed though, I…

Kanan tried to keep the Mandalorians alive because he wanted them as allies (and the main Mandalorian had saved his life during the war).

He says the transporter is down. No telling if it's true.

She's not mostly his sister on Earth 2! Total creepy incest loophole!

Old man hands is probably the end result of having all the Speed Force squeezed out of you.

I didn't see a ring, but the last three numbers on speed dial in the Allen/West phone were Hal, Bruce, and Diana. I didn't see if there was a Clark, though.

You're saying that you don't have a Clark wig and prosthetics on hand at all times in case you need to seduce a lonely but surprisingly hot FBI secretary?

There's a real pathology of murderers who commit suicide, so I don't think you can rule out the suicide aspect of this as a ruse. A lot of people thought at the time that OJ was setting up an insanity defense, but the fact his defense didn't go that route, and the apparent real danger that LAPD could've shot him seems…

The weird thing is, I can totally buy that. I bet that Robert and the kids had to spell out their names to people a zillion times, pre-fame, and they also seem like a family that would throw little impromptu rallies for themselves.

That's true, but it's a shame the directors didn't work harder to try to create the illusion he's bigger. Gooding's really captured the movement of a larger person, even though he's a small guy, there are scenes where he just lumbers. Then Schwimmer picks him up after he swoons, and the illusion's broken (see also:…

Schwimmer's playing up the deer in headlights look a bit much (a quick look around YouTube gives the impression that he wasn't exactly a guy who froze up around TV cameras), but I think the terrified, worried looks are appropriate. He was presented to the world as one of OJ's lawyers, which is a position where he was…

Yeah, no. Schwimmer's Ross performance was kind of dopy, but in a way that was relatively engaging and energetic. There's an awkwardness that he's adding to his performance as Kardashian that's hard to do. Actors are usually naturally charismatic, so playing someone who doesn't command the room is hard.
