I wasn't a huge fan of Silver Linings Playbook but I will give it some credit. They met each other at their low points, but both were working through their issues and becoming better people for having the other in their life. So that's not the worst relationship in the world.

Jerry Maguire. I mean, come on. The movie completely addresses how both people don't actually love the other and are both completely feeding into a terribly co-dependent relationship. Renee says "I love him for the man he wants to be. And I love him for the man he almost is." In other words she doesn't actually…

Most as a fan of the books; oh HELL NO!!! NONONONONONONONO!!! Knives was someone Scott was with so he wouldn't be alone. He treated her pretty shitty, didn't even dump her and just started dating Ramona instead. Ramona and Scott were both TERRIBLE to their previous partners in relationships, their relationship…

There's a lot going on there, and probably the most important thing is Maddow coming out and saying this. It could be HUGE. In the 24-hour news cycle it is a race to be on the bleeding edge, to get things out first, to be the one with the hot scoop. Having someone high profile stand up and say "We got something…

It ends up being ironic that despite their clear hatred of safe spaces that they now seem to be saying "reality isn't matching up with the message we've been sticking to. Guess it's time to quit and let the show stand as a testament to that idea that we never let go. It'll remain our safe space. WAY easier than…

To be fair to the studio, the shared Universal Monsters universe was pretty much the first shared cinematic universe. Frankenstein's monster fought the Wolfman, they both met up with Dracula in House of Dracula, and were all present in House of Frankenstein and then of course Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein.

Just based on people I have talked to about the first movie, I liked it more than most and I'm still not actually excited about any sequels. It feels like this series is still moving by the overwhelming momentum of Harry Potter as opposed to people actually being interested or liking the spin-off itself.

Yay! This book is fantastic, but it comes out so sporadically.

"More palatable"… sure…

They are both god-awful. First, I don't consider Generation X the coolest thing ever and want to be just like them instead of being a *shudder at the term, not the generation* "Millennial" (despite knowing some Gen Xers who desperately believe this to be a defining characteristic of those born in the early 80's, and…

And now you know… the rest of the story.

Who are you, Jim Davis for one week in 1989?

"Victory to victory?"

To be fair, looking at Spaced and his end of the world trilogy he is more akin to a modern day Mel Brooks with a string of loving parody send-ups of staid genres than anything else. I don't mean to take anything away from any of those, I love them all, but all of them feel more outside the genres they are sending up…

"de-elevates promising source material by only focusing on the bits he thinks are fun (Scott Pilgrim)"

I am not a huge action movie fan and the ones clearly centered around cars/car chases immediately turn me off (cars are mostly a necessary evil in my mind). Yet I somehow manage to survive without calling for an indefinite moratorium on their existence. I just… don't go watch them. It's not even in protest, there's…

That's a bold claim. Remember, it's part of a franchise and completionists will likely keep coming back to it even if it is middle of the road or even flat out bad. To support my hypothesis, I present Star Wars episodes I, II, III, VI, VII, and Rogue One.

"And the film makes it okay for Fury to do what he does because he's a good guy."

After Cap gets powers there is NOTHING in the movie that ever feels remotely dangerous to him. He just goes from victory to victory until in the end he has to make a sacrifice for his final victory. I love Cap as a character, but the first movie felt like the creators decided that he should just look so much above…

They summon the demon via and unholy ritual involving burning the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
