God damn, Keri Russell. You're so vein.

You just know Harmon would have made a gimmick episode called The Hunger Changs.

Why should YOU get dragged on Twitter because of a shitty comment someone ELSE…noticed? [slams law book shut]

I can totally see that. It just seemed to me that the first half of the first FF was the team getting their powers, and the second half attempting to reverse the process. I won't speak on the Trank version, since I didn't see it, and I'll trust the people who did and stay far, far away.

I find the Marvel color palette to be largely monochromatic, so changing the time setting would do a lot to shake it up. I don't even read comic books but I just think the idea has promise. (Also because it genuinely baffles me that both versions of the FF films have involved the group actively fearing/loathing their

Have you Ever Been Kissed?

I've said this before, I've seen others say it as well, but I would totally watch a Space Race-era Fantastic Four film, all shiny and hopeful and modern.

Right, I sort of sympathize with the person who worked on the film upthread, and with the idea that the script was better than the execution, but that doesn't excuse those obvious missteps. Hollywood is full of magnificently talented people, far more knowledgeable than us, and yet they failed to correct a single,

I am…not?

Right, because all they had to do was rewrite the scene almost immediately prior! Turn that xenobiologist (or whatever) into a thrill-seeking cad. (Also maybe rewrite the scene so that the creatures running from the alien bioweapon don't run directly into the room with…the alien bioweapon, but that's just me asking

I mean, who among us hasn't had to deal with the vicissitudes of a single-sex automated medical pod?

It's not "bad" as it is baffling. I genuinely regret having seen Prometheus because recalling the plot is like itching a bug bite, I can't stop myself from thinking through each nonsensical development. I think it fails on a lot of levels, but then again, perhaps the (admittedly remarkable) visuals are what bored into

History repeats itself: First as When the Bough Breaks, then as Unforgettable.

Ooh, I like this, like indentured servitude, wherein obedient crew members get to take their place among the Elect.

Boom—factions among the crew, bringing built-in character, motivation, goals…

The idea of having a constantly awake maintenance crew proletariat on a luxury spaceship, a crew aware of its own mortality (and perhaps the mortality of their children) is an infinitely more interesting premise than this film.

"In my ideal version of the film, the seven months that Pratt's character spent alone happen in real time!"

Anyone who hasn't watched In Treatment deserves to be John from Cincinnati.

This could be a good moment in a 30 for 30.

That was my first thought, and then I saw Illuminati Twitter rushing to the same conclusion, so I decided to back off until there's an investigation.
