I love pulpy stuff, I try never to miss a Brian Keene book. Joe Hill either, but I feel he's much less pulpy. William Hope Hodgson has really grabbed me lately, it's amazing how just plain readable he still is 100 years later. Lovecraft is less readable, bit I still love him. Richard Matheson, Clive Barker, and F…

No, fuck it, I'm not letting Magnolia drop. The movie had something like a half hour set up of stories of amazing coincidence that made them interesting and how we were going to see an even more elaborate version of one of those where we'd need to pay close attention to all the moving parts then it just rains fucking…

This is one where I rarely hear people giving it unqualified praise anymore. Normally it goes something like, "It was good but it was only one season and there were bad episodes in the bunch. I mean, I enjoy it, but I'm not one of those people."

That's kind of my impression. I cannot remember the last time I heard somebody bring it up in a manner of fond remembrance or as one of their favorite movies.

As a huge horror fan; Stephen King. Don't get me wrong, he's had a good book or two. I'm barely exaggerating there either. 'Salem's Lot, Pet Sematary, and The Mist are his only books that I would ever read again. He is generally much more interested in building extremely mundane worlds and exploring the lives of…

Drek like this is getting cancelled and Mister Robot is gearing up for its second season? The infosec gods are smiling upon is this day.

"no iconic visual moments"
This one gets me. They have the damn 360 camera shot of the team from the first Avengers in the video. Ultron had a very similar scene near the beginning. I frankly believe that Guardians was full of iconic visual moments. If anything I sometimes feel like they try a bit too hard to…

What about when Cap's team acknowledges that they are all going to face consequences for protecting him and then get sent to prison? Wanda tied up like she's Hannibal Lector? Clint acknowledging that he might not see his family again? I can barely type this I'm laughing so hard thinking about it!

Ironically, they also complain about the movies not being "comic book" enough (whatever that means).

Upcoming? I got the set in early April. When I saw it in the store my first thought was "damn, that Giant Man build is awesome!" followed shortly thereafter by "shit! this just spoiled something that would have been 100x better if I didn't know it was coming while watching the movie, didn't it?"

It's the only way to be sure.

Its almost bizarre, this movie had the completely-makes-sense but still surprising reveal that Bucky killed Iron Man's parents which angers him and drives him to fighting with murderous intent. A month and a half earlier Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice had an ending that plays out almost like a bad parody, where…

Bradley Cooper as a gun toting space trash panda and Vin Diesel as an anthropomorphic tree with a limited vocabulary were both also genius bits of casting. No joking either, Diesel is pretty much EXACTLY how I always imagined Groot to sound, and Cooper was nothing like how I imagined Rocket, but was still absolutely…

The best part of the theory is when he spends literally half the video talking about an even LESS interesting theory he has that is in no way relevant.

Voyager loved that type of crap. There was an episode where the crew were all melting then at the end you find out none of them were real and the real Voyager flies past their melted remains.

Lundgren is always #1 at whatever he does. Bernthal gets an honorable distant second.

"So is the dispute over representation and whitewashing or is it over the uniqueness of the Ancient One's heritage?"

"At the end of the day once again, a movie about Asian culture, with no Asian people."

Actually, it is that hard. In that case you're still taking a minority character and stripping them of the uniqueness of their heritage. Trying to have your cake and eat it too by making the character every heritage doesn't actually solve the problem, it just buries it under a decision that stands to baffle…

That brings up a huge issue with the idea; if you could have had an Asian Ancient One all along, and even cast one, why not just have the character be Asian?
