NO JAR-JAR??? How about a spoiler alert for that? Damn…..

A John Dory or a Pacific Dory?

Agreed. It looks like Star Trek, and it sounds like Star Trek, but at the end of the day, it is more like Star Wars dressed up to play Star Trek.

"Into the face of the young man who sat on the terrace of the Hotel Tatooine at Mos Eisley, there had crept a look of furtive shame, the shifty, hangdog look which announces that an Englishman is about to talk Wookie."

Hopefully that means that it will be better than the first remake, Return of the Jedi, and Episodes I II and III. If so, I'm OK with it.

The very best version of The Christmas Waltz is Toni Tennille's. Unlike a lot of modern artists, she actually sings it at waltz tempo, and it rocks.

In other news, Frank Sinatra's early version of White Christmas is the best recording of that particular song in history. My lovely wife swoons every time she hears it.

Cannibals are unreliable music critics.

I sing along with the Beatles all the time. They don't even have to be playing— a tune will just pop into my head and off I go. My guess is that when I eventually shuffle off this mortal coil, my last thought will be a Beatles song.

Yes, but the change in the Candidate is all for the worse. It's a study in what an otherwise good person has to do in order to win. You need to become a competitive jerk in order succeed in a highly competitive and hostile environment, and you lose your better self in the process. By the end of the movie, Robert…

I loved this movie for all the reasons Mike D'Angelo hated it. I thought it was a compellingly realistic study of many of the great athletes I knew in high school and college, and the ones I see every weekend on TV: arrogant pricks who want to win, and really don't give a damn about anyone or anything else, except…

The mistake was not how they handled the reveal, but in that JJ Abrams decided that it was a good idea for Benedict Cumberbatch to play Khan in the first place. That still makes no %$#^%&^ sense to me.

Hasn't this movie been out for two years already?

Uncanny X-Men arguably had the best run of any comic book title under Chris Claremont. So Marvel doubled down on X-Men titles, then doubled down again. And then again.

JJ Abrams is in the sweet spot. If his movie doesn't completely suck, it will do record business. And if it completely sucks, it will do near-record business. And if it is even half-decent, he's the new messiah.

He dares to suggest that pop music in the 60's and 70's was better than pop music today? What an old, ignorant bastard.

Marvel turned my all-time favorite X-Men story (Days of Future Past) into a completely disappointing movie. I hope that they do better with this, but I have my doubts.

You're not the only one, although you might be one of the few to voice that opinion on a Pixar movie review thread. Personally I think that the backgrounds are often more fetching than the characters. Argo is not that far removed from Dino in terms of animation sophistication, and Spot looks like Bam-Bam's brother,…

I honestly can't see that we've made much progress in our commercial technology.

I suffered through the entire one-idea trilogy, and my world outlook was pretty damn bleak by the end, too.
