I would watch the fuck out of a Star Wars series done in that style. Especially if it followed the Empire's perspective, as that clip seemed to favor.

Do we have a name for this show? The Bill Cosby Show has already been used, as has The Cosby Show, Cosby, and The Cosby Mysteries. We've also already seen Cosby Kids and Little Bill. At this point, all I could recommend would be either That Show With Bill Cosby Where He's Pretty Much Playing Heathcliff Huxtable, or Leo

It's absolutely one of those movies that's better than it has any right being, and could really almost be seen as a spot-on parody of Michael Bay's style.

I was actually super disappointed when CSI didn't switch their theme to "Substitute" after William Petersen left.

One particular thing about this trailer actually intrigued me enough that I may eventually give them my money: "Music By Danny Elfman". Though I'm relatively certain this won't be the case, I'm imagining a big budget softcore porn, posing as a romance, scored with early Tim Burton levels of off-kilter whimsy.

It's nice that Amazon actually labeled the differences in the cameras used so that some of us can actually make a semi-informed decision. ("A lower f-stop for our camera in a low-light situation? Yeah…that should make it look better.")

Season 1 was a great "introduce the characters"; season 2 was, sadly, yet another "introduce the characters"; season 3 was that bullshit Suliban arch, and season 4 was maybe the best Trek that had been on TV since DS9.

Sadly, this is the only comment I've read so far that actually makes sense to me.

She started as just a normal girl, but then they started taking the whole "the girl who waited" thing way too literally: placing her in various prisons (not as hot as it sounds), and just generally making her more than she was (including an insanely literal "is she or isn't she pregnant").

If it were the Disney of the 90s, I would be extremely worried about the future of Star Wars. Being able to pull off The Avengers, though, earned them a lot of cautious optimism. (That, and I stand by the fact that John Carter was a great movie horribly promoted: not an issue they'll have to deal with for Star

I didn't mean "most important girl in the universe" as in "due to plot mechanics, character x needs to take on these abilities". I meant that the title character has explicitly referred to each as "the most important person in the universe". Rose never got such a designation, nor Martha. Yes, Rose was important to

To be fair, I'm sure when he signed on for the first one, there were options for sequels, and it was just easier to shut up and do it than to try to get out of it.

That really is the one thing that's grated on my nerves: Donna was the most important girl in the universe, then Amy was, then Clara. I pray to whatever deity will make it happen that introducing a male companion will mean that Clara can be just a normal, funny, brilliant girl instead of "the most important person

Madame de Pompadour, who in this version winds up marrying Louis XV after his wife dies, thus making her a Princess (because that's how royalty seems to work in the Disney universe).

Really? You're giving Michael "Make it a straight-to-video trilogy" Eisner more props than the Iger era? Iger at least had the sense to eventually say "you know what? we really don't know what we're doing with animation anymore. Here you go, John Lasseter - have the whole damn thing."

*ahem*…I believe you mean "fo' thurtay".

I've always thought of American Idiot as pretty much the most punk thing Green Day has ever done (and so far, they've gone on to prove to me that it was a fluke). I mean, I suppose it depends on your view of punk, and whether it's really fast and loud pop songs, or whether it's more politically-minded material. I

I'm gonna have to say Muse's The Resistance. I don't know, or care, if that's a popular opinion, but I'm a sucker for anything so heavily influenced by 1984. The fact that parts of it sound a hell of a lot like Queen is a huge bonus, too.

Not an overriding narrative, but it does have an overall concept, that being "insanity". Literally, you've got paranoia ("On The Run"), time ("Time", obviously), religion ("The Great Gig In The Sky"), money (again, "Money"), and the futility of war ("Us & Them"), all ending up in the same place ("Brain
