For the record, it's "Dooku," but yes.

When I was young, I went to a company picnic or something with my parents. I won a "Willow" coloring book as a prize.

Gamergate is strange in that they seem to be doing both: much of it is clearly just trying to needle people whose beliefs offend and annoy them, but they've gotten so invested in it that they've started to sincerely embrace what was originally just bullshit trolling.

The words "troll" and "trolling" have also come to be used to describe people who go into comment threats where an opposing side holds sway and arguing their own opposite take on the issue. (It's also used to describe paid operatives from countries like Russia and Israel who try to covertly sway the narrative toward

This sort of Gamergate-style of right wing extremism seems to centered around taking pride in being a bully.

I believe that "Fury Road" might take place in a different continuity than the original three films, but Max does indeed sport the same leg brace from the second film and the same jacket from the original trilogy that's been stitched up where Bearclaw attacked him in the second film.

I thought it just meant that we still love people even when they're away from us and after they're gone.

It wasn't memorable, but I'd hardly call Hunnam's acting here a terrible performance, not by a long stretch. At worst, it was decent.

There are certainly parts that are dumb - the stuff with the dinosaurs (that they had "two brains" and that they were actually kaiju, somehow) are both completely indefensible - but the movie is so great that crap like that doesn't bring it down.

There's no accounting for taste, obviously, and a fun movie isn't necessarily the same as a good movie, but I can't see any way in which "Pacific Rim" is anything other than excellent.

That would also cut down on how heavily it mirrors "2001", which was sort of nice homage but also a distraction (also: TARS being a rectangular cube - it's fine that his character is reminiscent of HAL, but his also physically resembling the Monolith was just a bit too much.)

This making of reel shows just how much was missed - the mechanical beauty of the jaegers and the action of the fight scenes - by making every single fight scene (other than the brief Sydney fight) in the dark.

I'm not exactly sure what "Where the Wild Things Are" even was, exactly, but I can't deny that it was a very beautiful and well-made film.

No. Interstellar never portrays "love" as being a force that "transcends time and space."

It's a Wonderful Life is the really best piece of liberal, progressive, Democrat, anti-Tea Party, Occupy Wall Street propaganda even filmed, honestly.

That actually seems to be how all privileged groups define persecution (see SludgeVohaul's comment above.)

I was going to make a comment about The Maestro from Seinfeld, but you scenario is so much more absurd, not least of all because it takes place in real life. That could not have been a healthy family dynamic.

You can't really see the biological-esque nature of the stillsuits from the tiny image posted here. You need to look at the fullsize one: http://i1.wp.com/www.tor.co… to see how visceral (in the literal sense of the word) the design looks.
