It's pretty clear that GRRM has no idea what he's doing at this point. He's gone from writing a trilogy that was supposed to be finished in the 90s to being 5 books into an 8(?) book cycle that has at least two full books of people wandering across the map while his dragon mcguffins get to the right age to become plot…

The idea that Zack Snyder doesn't understand what he's doing because it doesn't conform to the nostalgia wankbait of other superhero movies is really stupid.

They're also the same people who describe Empire Strikes Back as "dark" so don't expect too much.

You wouldn't say that if you saw the new RoboCop. It's the only good 21st century satire. There's so many good moments: stuff about focus testing him so civilians thought he was cool, the scenes of him getting built in a Chinese factory, the whole film avoiding showing death because it's a PG-13 but then having the…

Zack Snyder knows exactly what he's doing, unfortunately, because that isn't to appease Reddit, people think he's putting all that work into his films for nothing.

This always looked like it was destined for the bin in one way or another. I had no recollection of the title but the header image alone reminded me of the original trailer which made it look like a fantasy version of xXx.

Looking forward to the bit where they do some awkward recreation or obvious inversion of the "I love you" "I know" moment and the internet thinks it's really clever for getting it.

I've never watched a dubbed anime and thought it was bad, but I've watched several subbed and found it less than optimal. For something like Kill la Kill, the subs sometimes get lost in or distract from the visuals.

I've liked the casting since the start but seeing Silence reminded me that Asian ESL pronunciation is really tough on the actors and the audience. If they were to cast Asians, they would likely need a dub like Li Bingbing in Resident Evil: Retribution.

Rocky is currently at seven with only one bad film. The producers of Star Wars would kill for that ratio.

Is there any explanation for why it took them so long to build the first Death Star but the second is operational soon after the original got destroyed? If the series is willing to make a whole prequel for a plot hole that doesn't exist, there must be something about it in there - unless that's a whole other spin off…

It's incredibly lucky that Emma Watson is pretty because she's 0/2 on the talents typically associated with an actress who can sing.

I'm saying that the people praising it for being some kind of unique commentary on the genre somehow have less knowledge of cinema than the people who praise Tarantino's movies.

Jacques Demy did that decades ago.

Someone must have his phone or changed the password to his Twitter account because there's no way he's got the self control to have stayed silent this long.

I've seen neither La La Land or Moonlight (yet, because neither are out here) but Barry Jenkins speech about the support he got to make Moonlight was infinitely more endearing than Damien Chazelle and co.'s repeated faux outsider narrative. I also wondered what kind of producer would give a wealthy Harvard grad the…

All I know about Parker Lewis Can't Lose is that, when I was about 17, all my friends who only liked things ironically insisted that show was actually genuinely unironically very good but that was enough to make me avoid it completely.

I read a lot of them as a kid. David Eddings, JRR Tolkein, JK Rowling, David Gemmell, Raymond E. Feist and I forget who else. They were great then but I went back a few years ago and they really don't hold up as an adult.

Of course, but a few years later and they'd all be in X-Men or something instead of taking photos with Redditors on the weekend.
