I want to hear Patton Oswalt's opinion on these events!

They never had a snowflake's chance in hell, but Francois Arnaud and Holliday Grainger really should have been nominated for The Borgias.

You're doing it wrong.

No Tatiana Maslany nomination?

It's "Takei", not "Takai".

I pretty much agree with everything you said. I only saw the movie with one female friend, but her thoughts on the matter were pretty similar as well. 
The stuff with Pentecost and Mako definitely had a frustrating [missing scene] feel to it.  

@avclub-2a6ac9e5324952e36b40237cf2fcdad8:disqus , your analogy has nothing to do with what you said about people who disagree with you.  Making an accusation about those who disagree with you is the definition of an ad-hominem attack. Argumentum ad misericordiam.

@disqus_u7vdwwhJsZ:disqus , given that "putting classic monster movie cliches in a modern context" could literally be a logline for the film, I'm not sure how you're interpreting them as some sort of cheat. A movie that uses them half-hazardly would be cheating, but a movie like this that uses them in a self-assured…

I always read comments below articles, and I always hate myself for it.  People be shoppin'!

THANK YOU.  The critical reaction to this film has really opened my eyes to just how much people assess a film on the basis of "this is the way that I expect a film to be, and therefore this is the way that a film should be."

It's not about being "thin" or "appealing to mass audiences".  If anything, characters like the scientists would alienate mass audiences.

The film's direction teased that single breakdown continuously leading up to the event, and throughout the entirety of the movie, she acts withdrawn and shell-shocked, particularly when facing human confrontation.

"Guys justifying why its okay to treat women like inferiors" is a bullshit ad hominem attack.

Now if only someone would greenlight a reason to care about Mark Duplass' character on The League.

I actually liked this a little better than Avengers, which shocked me.  The dialogue was not as sharp (although it was very good, perfectly hitting all the right genre notes. Whedon is just hard to match.), but the aesthetics of the direction, sound design, and the understanding of the combat worked a lot better for…

I'm pretty sure that the first monster literally used an audio-clip of Godzilla's roar, and the bass sound-effect that happened then was also an audio reference.

Multiple pilots in a single robot, giant swords, and they called out their attacks as they made them.  It was so nostalgic for Power Rangers.

Oddly enough, I saw it yesterday and it was almost full.  I was pretty surprised.

This is a little hilarious dude. That's not stereotypical, that's reality.
