It's written like one, but it's just a fact. [Well, granting that the author is attributing the anticipation solely to the director, it's a fact.]

To me, the cyberpunk is why it would never be the quintessential '90's movie. Cyberpunk is an '80's thing overall, it's just that in the mid-'90's, it finally got to the screen, but then they were all terrible, so cyberpunk-in-film died in the womb.

"Sweet Jane" got a solid boost from being on the soundtrack, whether it was officially re-released as a single or not.

Sounds like just another reason to call it a quintessential 90's movie to me!

I was scanning the list of 1995, and there are a surprisingly high number of movies that I would rank lower than The Brady Bunch and higher than Strange Days. Stuff like "National Lampoon's Senior Trip" which, I know it's not good, but I at least have a little nostalgic positive feeling towards. Hell, I'd even…

No, the thesis is that the movie is worth watching. "Prescient about the Internet and race relations" is just the best proof they've got for the thesis.

I have always thought "Natural Born Killers" was the quintessential "90's" movie, for better and worse.

I wish Singles was better known. "People love their cars" is a great shorthand response to say that an idea is inherently flawed on a human level.

Saying "I can't think of a single thing men's rights has done to actually benefit society" is not a generalization. It is a statement, presumably of fact (though I can't know the poster's mind). It allows for the possibility he could be wrong, that somebody else could bring up an example (which, naturally, nobody…

It is weird that you emphasize rumours, it comes off like you're trying to criticize all SJWs for listening to rumours. But when specific individuals are deliberately slandering other specific individuals, those aren't rumors, those are lies. So, yes, SJWs get lied to and sometimes believe the lies. aka "They are…

The issue is that a person who is not yet interested in dating should not be being told by their parents "You will definitely date boys," because if she feels an impulse to date girls, potentially the parents' assumption can feel like pressure. It's the kind of thing that is less a big deal coming from Jerry Seinfeld…

I would agree with you that it is more heteronormative than sexist, but saying that a teenage girl, in a few years, will just want to hang out places where she can see boys, that is totally sexist.

"Now, one of the finer descendants of this form of literature is receiving his English-language due, and it couldn’t be more overdue."

"It's even more appalling that this scene will probably merit less angry Tumblr warrior articles all over the blogosphere."

It was mentioned several times that they didn't have enough supplies to get back to Castle Black, though I admit that he had already dismissed the option before that.

Porn?? Sorry, you must be thinking of some other Internet.

Nobody ever notices it until it is pointed out to them, and then they not only can't help but notice it, but can't believe they never saw it before.

I think his height had a factor in it, he was taller than the rest of the cast, and tall enough to sit that way.

It really isn't that hard to make dinosaurs entertaining. Trying to force extra plot on top of that has been the consistent failing of the franchise.

Don't hedge; the fact that he is publicly saying he won't do a sequel before this one even comes out confirms that neither side wants him to come back… they have told him they won't exercise their option, and he doesn't think it's worth fighting to hang on to it.
