A friend of mine complained that he couldn't believe Anne Heche in Six Days Seven Nights because she was a lesbian portraying a straight woman. I in no way understood his point and just kind of looked at him funny and said, "That's why it's called 'acting.'"

I know it's like when a cop pulled me over for doing 100 in a 25 zone and I was like "Aren't there murderers you should be catching?!?"

When are we going to get to the fireworks factory?!?

I hated her a lot in her first appearance, hated her less in her second appearance, then started to like her more and more going forward after that.

Jared Leto's Joker generated outrage? I thought it generated one of the 10 best trailers of the year!

Wow! His highest possible grade!

"Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away"

Yup. When the magnitude of the Death Star was revealed someone commented how the Senate wouldn't stand for it, then Grand Moff Tarkin reveled that the Emperor dissolved the Senate. So right there we see that an individual has suspended all pretense of democracy and built a ridiculous battle station only suited to

He did the voiceover for the trailer (which I'm pretty isn't directly lifted from Jedi because it has that ending about "you have it") so there was that. And it was honestly a really damn good reading.

I can't help but feel that planet destroying weapons have become blasé, to the extent that it wasn't even a real plot point anymore, it was just an excuse for the third act when, I'd argue, they didn't need it.

I hate J'son, passionately. This may be unfair, maybe in the Silver age he had some trippy, fun stories, but just about everything in Bendis' run drives me batty, not the least of which has been making no-name figures the major villains. Marvel's cosmic universe is BRIMMING with more interesting characters with

Yeah, I was addressing viruses specifically there, bacteria are another story. That's iffy, assuming that the aliens' biology is within tolerable ranges for the bacteria to live (correct temperature, pH, salinity, etc), then yes, they could, possibly, potentially cause serious infection. Assuming that they managed

Unfriended is middling at best, but that picture is completely spoiling the best scene of the movie, which is actually a great, tense scene. Assuming that you don't know the information that is being shown in that picture.

Actually, it's probably more realistic that a human could create a computer virus for an alien system than an alien virus successfully infecting a non-native life form. Viruses have adapted to be tightly connected to the cells they infect. They bond to cells in extremely specific ways.

It's bad, but let's be honest; Maximum Overdrive is on another level entirely.

¿Dónde está el Sr. Spielbergo cuando se le necesita?

That was my thought. I mean what Marvel has done has been pretty homogeneous as long as you ignore where it hasn't been (Guardians of the Galaxy, Daredevil). But DC! DC has gone dark, gritty, and oh-so-serious in Man of Steel and then… dark, gritty, and oh-so-serious in trailers for their next two movies. Which we

That was an anger-inducingly bad test. Deal breaking, I may seriously be done with this show bad. I mean, what's next week's test going to be? Lock them in a room with a pitcher that they've told them is full of antifreeze and cut anyone who doesn't drink it within an hour?

I remember reading an interview with Campbell (or maybe his autobiography) where he talks about how the original no longer runs (which is why Peter and Uncle Ben are only ever sitting in it in Spider Man). That would mean that there have been a whole lot of repairs, or a whole new stunt double car for scenes of it

I cannot honestly say that I thought this one was worth my time. By biggest takeaways are:
There was something about insects.
Wait… did they imply that the dog rapes that woman?

That's it, those are my memories of this movie.
