It’s possible they departed, but did we notice the huge crack in the Earth, likely caused by the earthquake, into which the water probably drained?

Well, have you seen this episode yet?

Kevin Smith said it best. It was the best movie adaptation we were likely to get.

In the Voyagers series, the Earth is going to “go dark” unless we discover a new power source—so two teams are sent into space to find something to save our planet. And Team Alpha travels from planet to planet, going through more and more dangerous situations on their quest.

Absolutely the best change in the SE.

Yes! Not to mention that genetic manipulation is nowhere near as terrifying as vivisection.

There’s no twist, really. The Blair Witch is real. They wind up in her house. They die.

I love the idea of a cult of Darth Vader.

Zach Snyder’s adaptation is *brilliant* - and I say that without irony - because its additions serve to enhance and deepen the politics of the source material, with just as much subtlety.

Well right, there’s taking liberties, and then there’s making weird gross distortions that ultimately undermine the piece you’re writing.

300 is the most entertaining, enjoyable piece of really reprehensible propaganda I’ve ever seen.

Well...no. The criticism here is that his choice of subject matter isn’t suited well to the ideas he’s trying to convey, which makes it sillier.

They call the Athenians “boy lovers” - the Spartans did this too, of course, but that was inconvenient to the portrayals Miller was going for. The Spartans were REAL MEN who FIGHT and the Athenians deliberated like girls.
