The plot description of that sounded remarkably similar to the plot of the X-Men movie, only replacing Rogue with Kitty Pride and making it ten times shittier. Which is saying a lot, because the whole Rogue subplot was one of the dumber parts of the movies. And this is manga, so it's just shit all over.

Wow, I never knew that people thought it was a bad ret-conning attempt. After watching Superstar, the moment I saw Trachtenberg's name in the opening credits, I knew it would be explained. I didn't know it would take so long, and that the explanation would engender mixed feelings, but I trusted the show. And I…

Adam's whole bit about him and Riley being brothers made me wince, mainly because I've seen too many bad Star Wars-esqe knockoffs, that whenever the villain says anyone is family I want to change the channel. I realize it's not literal, but I view it as a microcosm for what's wrong with Adam. The concept is…

I never got the sense that Buffy had any trust (or affection) for Walsh in the first place, so I'm not sure it would have been much of a betrayal. I do agree, though, that the plot pacing for this (and most of this season) was just a little off. However, if offing Walsh meant bringing Faith back sooner, I really…

Just wanted to add my praise for SMG (awesome acronym) in these eps, especially Who Are You? I've never really thought of her as a particularly talented actress, though she always does a good job with Buffy, but seeing her play Faith was very cool.

I think both of the themes fit their respective show's moods very well. Angel has the somber and dramatic cello, and Buffy has the fun and catchy (for the time, maybe) pop sound. That said, I like Angel's better.

Perhaps he is remaking BSG with Arthurian elements. Adama will be replaced by Merlin, Apollo will become the king, and Starbuck can be Lancelot. But with boobs.

Is a pretty decent person, and was a delight on Buffy. I applaud this news. Patton Oswalt is a chipper fellow as well.

Who cares if this sucks? Dollhouse and Caprica will soon be providing a boundless supply of nerdgasms on a weekly basis.

Michael Mann did Collateral, which happens to be a film I enjoy.

While normally I wouldn't dream of recommending slashing the budgets of movies, I'm going to go ahead and say that no comedy in the vein of Funny People, no matter how brilliant, should actually require $75 million to make.

I've read em. The first one was ok, as far as sappy and over-wrought romantic fantasy goes. I just don't quite understand the rabid enthusiasm for them. I can understand the people who regard it as a guilty pleasure, but I just don't get the people who would pay to get a picture with a hand model.

Damn, I really wanted that $5, and I'm sure I would have received it if only I had gotten here quicker. Blast.

Part of the problem with A New Man is the company it's in. It didn't really make an impression on me on first viewing, but coming off of Hush it took me a while to readjust. Thinking about it now, A New Man was actually pretty damn funny and interesting (the part with Ethan in the crypt is just genius).

I laughed for a good 5 minutes straight during that scene, and now, whenever I hear the Danse Macabre I start giggling. Which is a little weird, now that I think about it.

Restless is (so far) my favorite, with Hush at a close second. Hush is chilling, inventive, and hilarious, and I can easily agree with Noel's comparing it to a Neil Gaiman idea. Restless, though, was just pure magic,

Some of my favorite BSG episodes are the ones that are so unbelievably dark and depressing, like the first ep of Season 4.5. But, regardless of what one thinks about Moore's BSG, this idea is undeniably dumb. Out of all the extant sci-fi material to choose from, Singer decides to do this? I could understand if the…

Batman!
Wasn't 'Batman Begins' close enough of an adaptation to Batman: Year One? Okay, granted it lacks Scorsese, and Raz al Ghul is nowhere in Miller's work … Alright, maybe it wasn't a straight adaptation, but the gist of it was there. Kinda.

Reno 911: Miami was pretty good. At least, I think it was. I can only remember about 5 minutes of it, but I distinctly recall Paul Rudd as being a part of it. But the rest of those movies are not so good.

Yeah, several times now I've watched Seasons 1-4 in a row, and each time I just can't make it in to Season 5. It's not that Season 5 is terrible, but it really pales in comparison to the Sorkin years and is completely lacking in the witty humor department. Sorkin may have his issues, but WW was undeniably better…
