Nothing about this trailer does anything to shake my conviction that this is a joke that gets old by the time you finish reading the title. I can't believe the concept has proven to have so much legs. Any chance at all that this movie isn't a total flop?

There's barely any landscape description in Jane Austen, much less 16 pages of it.

There was a Jewish resistance, and they were slaughtered. And what's more, they knew they were going to be slaughtered, and probably even knew that the retaliation for their acts of resistance against the population of the ghetto would be horrific. That's not to say they weren't right to resist - by that point their…

Do you think you could maybe wrap your mind around the notion that there's more than one horrible person on this show? Your constant stanning for Fitz is getting tired, and pointing to the fact that other characters have done terrible things - which surely no one here has denied, least of all myself - doesn't change…

I think if there's one lesson we should have learned by this point, it's that there is literally nothing Olivia or Fitz could do to make the other stop loving them. I mean, how do you still love a woman whose father killed your son to keep you apart? And that's just one example. It would be romantic if it wasn't so…

I really wish the show would just pretend that Aiden never existed, because its constant retconning of his character and his and Michaela's relationship is getting ridiculous. Last week he was bi. This week he's gay and never gave Michaela an orgasm (even though their very first sex scene together seemed pretty…

What's frustrating is that Joanne clearly isn't intended as a psychopath. Luke's speech in the car implies that she was broken by their son's death and that killing is the only thing that gives her peace, but that's not what's showing up on screen. She's written, and acted, like a completely unrepentant psychopath…

I don't have a problem with his as president (except for the part where his first election was stolen and the second only happened because his son died) but boy, did this episode make it clear what a horrible, abusive, exploitative human being he is. The way he kept going on about the truth when really it's just a…

Copeland (or, as he's credited on Haven, WWE Superstar Edge) was just on the season premiere of The Flash, where he got tossed around quite a bit. Probably you can make that look more serious than it is on a superhero show, but it wasn't a standing around and talking role like what he does on Haven.

I can see Damon getting a nomination for The Martian, because the Oscars are unjust that way, but I'll be seriously depressed if he wins for it. It's a fun movie, but Damon doesn't really have a character to play, and the script doesn't even leave him room to imbue the cardboard cutout it gave him with some sebmlence…

So, Barry just straight-up murdered a guy. Do you maybe want to speak to that, Flash? Do the new members of the team, Iris and Stein, have any thoughts on suddenly being accessories to murder? Does Joe, an officer of the law, have any qualms about where his kid's vigilantism has led him, and about his own…

So, Limitless was a legitimately good hour of television this week. I don't know if I want them to keep going to the "Brian imagines events he didn't witness as cheaply made exploitation movies" well all the time, but at least it shows that someone on the show is trying to be different. And since the premise…

And just like that, my burning hatred of Steven Moffat and the abomination he calls Sherlock Holmes is back with a vengeance.

He's on a Canadian show called Strange Empire right now (which I've heard good things about) and before that he had recurring roles on Continuum and Supernatural. Between that and Dollhouse, there was a relatively steady stream of guest roles. You're right, though, that that's not much better than a lot of the other…

Would you ever have guessed that Grace Park and Tamoh Penickett would have the best post-show careers out of all the young cast? I just can't make sense of it.

You could argue that all of Peter Pan is about the question of how to do adulthood well. For the most part "adulthood" means male adulthood (and there's an equally good indictment of toxic masculinity, and how we fail to teach boys to be compassionate and cognizant of others' feelings, to be read in the story) but as…

I'd really love it if S4 just had Oliver and Felicity's couplehood in the background, without focusing on it too much. This being the CW, though, that's a bit hard to hope for.

I'm apparently one of the few people who thought there was more good Felicity stuff in S3 than bad. Yes, there was a lot of crying, but so what? People are allowed to cry. In between crying, however, Felicity established herself as the de facto leader of Team Arrow, the only person without whom the team couldn't…

They're definitely not going to lose the flashbacks, but let's hope they can come up with a better story for them this season. I don't know at what point Oliver goes to Russia and becomes a gangster, but I've been looking forward to that part of the flashbacks, since they already have one established character (was…

I've always felt that Hook is unfairly maligned. Partly this is because I saw it as a kid and loved it, and was genuinely shocked as an adult to discover that it's considered a dud, but looking back I think there's worthwhile stuff there. A lot of what this review says about the 2003 Peter Pan (which, I agree, is…
