That's how me and my girlfriend felt when we went to see The Lego Movie in theatres. Not that it was bad but that the writing and the pacing and the style were all pretty clearly directed at a sugar-filled nine-year-old, which we were not. We sat through it but were more than a little mystified by the rapturous…

Nothing can prevent Captain America from looking a little goofy but the various Iron Man suits have looked great. That bravura shot of the silver Mark 2 from the original movie remains very impressive and a comic nerd's fantasy right there on the screen.

I think it's good, not great. Like Get Out it's probably been a little overpraised since it's freighted with being Important but it's entertaining with fun performances, and that's as much as anyone should expect from a Wonder Woman movie.

Bishop and The Mummy team up against Timecop! And a Creole Wilford Brimley!

Six feet sounds plausible—5'10" strains credulity for me.

I finished the Witcher 3 this winter and easily my favourite part of the game was dealing with the Crones as part of the Bloody Baron arc. They feel … I think the closest word is true, like they're bona fide mythological figures from the dawn of history, summoned and given form by peasant's nightmares as they scrape a…

Yeah, the water treasure was a bad call on their part. Sunken treasure should be rare and exciting, not a tedious chore that if ignored will be nails on the blackboard of the completionist's soul.

So many of them are "norms" which, it turns out, don't really exist if you don't believe in them.

It's almost impressive that their design has actually gotten worse.

I consider us blessed that we have access to a rich stable of gifted, stage-trained British actors over 50 who are willing to appear in absolutely anything that will give them a paycheck no matter how ridiculous.

Oh, totally. But it's still pretty funny.

I personally didn't think that Brave was BAD, per se. It just had no idea what kind of story it was trying to be.

In defense of Cube 2, it gave us one of the all-time great sequel subtitles. "Hypercube" might be slightly less absurd than "Electric Boogaloo" but it's also a lot fresher.

It wasn't simply a puzzle show. There was a lot to enjoy there, both in terms of space opera and of quieter human moments.

To be fair, there was definitely also a lot of Grade-A beefcake left to languish on the shelf.

It's much like being an atheist in, like, the God of War universe.

I also enjoyed the almost complete lack of continuity on the original Star Trek which made it seem like everybody had Memento disease, such as when they were shocked that the Romulans had a cloaking device in Season 1 and again in Season 2.

The way I've heard it expressed is that if you're going to present the audience with a puzzle to solve, you better damn well make sure that it's actually a puzzle complete with solution. Otherwise you're just jerking the audience around, like making a crossword with random spaces and clues.

That atmospheric drop from Galactica, the ensuing dogfight in the skies over New Caprica and the final rescue-and-death-charge from Pegasus were genuinely exhilarating. They're with me long after all the histrionics and plot twists have blended together into a general memory of stressed-out greyness.
