No, this seems cool. I am still pissed off about the revived Doctor Who series though.

American society (and its racial baggage) is pretty small slice of "all of history." If they wanted to be really realistic, the cast should run into problems in any region of history where the locals don't share their racial characteristics. Most people at most points in history had never seen someone outside of their…

Diggle is a plausible choice for the grave. He does feel like an artifact of the more grounded, Nolan-esque era of the show. Now that Oliver is officially Green Arrow and has a crew of full-fledged superhero sidekicks, this plainclothes dude (even with his new mask) seems out of place. Of course Diggle is a good…

I had the opposite take on Palmer. I resented their attempts to make me like that corporate douche on Arrow, and I much prefer the more insecure version we get here.

Why?

I always saw The Last Battle as the super trippy one when I was a kid. Even though I know it's true, hearing that book referred to as the aggressively religious one is still strange.

This video sounds mildly amusing, but not so much that I'll voluntarily listen to this song again to find out. My personal favorite way to make this song entertaining has always been to pretend the lyrics describe the struggle of trying to write a good song. Of course, the better options remains to not listen to it at…

He still looked 30 two years ago, and in those videos he sort of looks his age.

Where the fuck did Monday go?

It's not exactly the height of dignity, but am I the only one who finds this less silly than the usual skintight leather business?

It's hard to argue that it wasn't a mess, but I'd favor focusing on tweaks over cuts. I wouldn't want to lose the sprawling scope and travelogue feel.

The key point: the joke is at the expense of the rapist and his pitiful rationalizations.

No worries. There is honestly a greater chance that I will seek this movie out in the theaters now that we've had this exchange.

A valid criticism but, as been speculated before, it was calculated. They wanted to prove they could do Star Wars right with this movie, and weren't looking to take a bunch of risks with the formula. If the next movie doesn't build on this foundation to take the series somewhere new and create something that will be…

There's a Prince Zuko guy? Does he just have a big burn scar on his face, or is he a similar type of morally complex character? Because if it's the latter that makes me more exited for this movie than anything else I've heard.

Wait, $8 or $10 is the cheap end of the scale? I really haven't been to the movies in a while.

It is worth noting that, though Simpson's need to reassert control comes off a lot less sympathetic than Jessica's self-blame, it is also a pathology inflicted on him by a patriarchal society.

I also wasn't really psyched that when they pulled back the curtain on the mysterious Watcher's Council it was just a punching bag with the word "Patriarchy" written on it.

This is why you don't telegraph your punches.

If young Nigel says he's alpha, he must be alpha.
