That seriously bothered me since she is supposed to be a world class journalist and noticing stuff like that is literally her one job.

To be fair, the Burton (and Schumacher) Batmans (Bats-man?) also weren't keen on the supernatural give or take a Catwoman. Nolan decided to take that further ground the character further with stronger human consequences- he makes mistakes, he bends his moral code, he gets hurt and has to retire or compensate for…

The Vorta do not seek power for themselves and the Founders obtain power with far more elegance (as terrifying as it sometimes may be).

I found that to be a bit subversive. Even as terrible as the bad guys are, they aren't racist. Also note that the SSR is not an equal opportunity employer.

The issues you take with this show, though somewhat understandable, have basis in actual history and do not strain credulity more than extra-dimensional, energy-sinking goo as the mainline super-science project of a shadowy, semi-mystical cabal. I immediately thought that Dr Wilkes was almost entirely based on Dr.…

Relationship status update: still single as all get out but that's okay because I'm going to the AV Club DC Meetup to meet a bunch of you guys at RFD today (Wed, Dec 23) at 6:30PM. If you're in the DMV, pop on by! The table will have a sign.

That's surprising since according to IMDB it would put Ireland behind Romania and South Africa… which I never expected to happen at least so soon. Did you guys piss off the Weinsteins?

did you not see Snowpiercer?

Well, I mean I'd yell my explanation in an accent that vaguely attempts to mimic where I think they're from but I wouldn't, like, try to fight 'em or call 'em names or anything. Not all us yanks are rude and hostile.

Did you read the article? Apparently there are specific instructions that you must follow.

politely inform you of the offensive connotations of the term in the local context and otherwise hope you have a pleasant experience in the States.

The Hulkbuster is the kind of thing that both makes sense to have and is an act of kindness; if you can't count on your best friend to knock you out when things get serious, who can you count on? I can see Banner making the request exit Earth but I can't see MCU Tony doing it without at least that much.

well it's a shame that he buys into the notion that the blacks and the greys don't like each other.

Seriously. You can't cast Icelandic volcanoes in a movie.

That might be true but that way, madness lies. When questions like this used to come up the people able to affect change would either ignore the question, dismiss it contemptuously, or defend doing nothing for the sake of tradition or author intent (never mind the fact that they'll change anything else) or some such…

good to see you too

Why do you believe the age of the characters should have any bearing on casting decisions? Shakespeare plays are hundreds of years old and has had every character been cast in every way humanly possible. Some Greek plays like the 2500 year old Oedipus Rex are thousands of years old and have received the same…

fuck it: Keith David as grizzled, old, inexplicably non-British, and canonically the same character as Daniel Craig's Bond. With Pam Grier as Moneypenny and current Mads Mikkelsen as resurrected Le Chifre. If Brits can get our Supermen and Batmen and U.N.C.L.E.S. we can get their Bonds. It's only fair.

Then it sounds like it was an honest mistake caused by being separated by a common language. I've consumed a fair bit of British media and never knew street had no racial connotations over there until now.
