The bodies in crystal chambers/geometric mothership/NASA mission aesthetics reminded me much more of the first act of Lifeforce…

(And by the way, it’s pretty ridiculous that once Cruise and Morgan Freeman pulled their big reveal, they then had several minutes to fiddle with their bomb and quote poetry before hitting the button. There’s dramatic tension, and then there’s “I’m going to kill you! Eventually. Once I rearrange this wiring I meant to…

AVClub should hire Mike Stoklasa or one of the RedLetterMedia people; they're completely up to speed on the format and they're Wisconsin local.

Natalie Portman oscillates between being relieved that she never had to do a YA franchise, and wondering wether or not a turn in a Snoop Sisters tetralogy would have looked better on her Oscar montage than Attack of the Clones.

I thought we'd been over this.  The Klingons are clearly Tsarist Russia.

I liked it a lot better before I saw Trekkies and that one fan who took the cosplay related to that episode a little too far.

Yeah I was going to say, there WAS an edgy cop movie in the early 90s named McBain.  It starred Chris Walken, Michael Ironside, Maria Conchita Alonso and Victor Argo as the evil "Presidente"

No no, the Superman II Richard Lester.

He has announced that he's retiring.

And then Wesley breaks down and starts crying because he can't find Ensign Lefler's number in his phone anymore, and Alexander has to call him a cab because it's sort of a scene and Al's wife is coming home from the late shift at the hospital.

Yar assassinated a lot of people, remember when Atari released that game where she took revenge for her death?

'That’s a twist I didn’t see coming. Reading a brief teaser for the episode (something like, “Kurn comes aboard the station, wanting Worf to help him die in a Klingon ritual”), '

I nominate Mike Judge for the title of Most Likely to turn 50 and have a Crazy Psychotic Break Like David Mamet and Start Writing Crazy WSJ Editorials.
