Oh yes, "I don't get why x is popular" is always passive aggressive speak for "x is shit". Very annoying.

Yes I'm sure Obama's aides put a lot of consideration into the types of things he ostensibly likes.

Okay, it's been many years since I've seen it but I'll try:

Just thought of another one: people who claim they "don't get" David Lynch movies. I mean, his movies deal in symbolism and ambiguity, but there's usually at least one interpretation that immediately pops out for each of them. This is especially annoying with Mullholland Drive which is the most straightforward and…

Season 5 is either the first or second best season of the show. According to me anyway. I agree that 6 and (especially) 7 are awful. But what didn't you like about 5?

I don't think bitching about shit things is ever stupid. Reasoned criticism doesn't need to justify itself.

As someone who dislikes both Libertarianism and the golden mean fallacy I find South Park a bit hard to take at times. I won't claim that it isn't funny though.

Yes, the truly loathsome aspects of South Park aren't the surface level poop jokes.

"I don't even have sensory organs!"

"Though I did like First Contact better than TMP, SFS or TFF."

Okay I'll admit to not having seen those two. I'd like to get around to seeing Newsradio.

"Dealbreaker" is probably too strong a word but anyway here are my peeves:

"Greer. No, hear me out: as he indicated to Finch in their conversation he basically wants Samaritan, or AIs in general to rule humanity (Iain Banks' "Culture" and it's Minds anyone?)"

Yeah there's no way Snyder would have done better with Hulk than Lee. I don't hate Snyder, hell I even liked Man of Steel, but the guy's all surface and completely tone deaf. I shudder to think what he would do with Hulk given that he seemed to completely misunderstand Watchmen.

Yeah, I'm generally fond of the movie but the worst thing in it is the comic panels. As you noted, it doesn't really help the storytelling at all, and it also comes off as vaguely condescending, as if Lee thought that comic book fans couldn't deal with a comic book movie that didn't look exactly like a comic book.

I love the look of the Hulk in this, bright green and all. He looks like a cartoon made physical (best way I can put it).

Err, what are you referring to? Because "discrediting neuroscience" (as a whole) sounds just as silly as "discrediting physics" or similar.

Honestly, at this point all the supernatural elements of the show feel grafted onto a bog standard medieval political intrigue story. They don't feel essential, and the medieval intrigue story is interesting enough on it's own.

Man, that last scene with the white walkers transforming the baby was kinda goofy, and not in a good way. I think the show has a real tone problem with it's supernatural elements. The fantasy elements are so segregated from the rest of the show and appear so infrequently, that when we do go back to them it's kind of…

"B5 was fairly notable science fiction universe in that didn’t have the genre trope of shields, until now."
