I think Steve Miller's music is perfectly good, but it's something that can only only be consumed in very small quantities and infrequently, on account of how incredibly earnestly hammy that shit is.

Honestly, though, the way white people completely stole rock and roll away from blacks - we didn't just copy the genre for ourselves, we made it so that blacks were completely unwelcome in the style of music that *they* had invented - is an absolutely travesty.

This comment comes off as a bit too caustic, but the gist of it is basically right. "Problematic" is heavily overused, but it's sort of a necessary word to describe any piece of media which is enjoyable, but which has elements that are sexist, racist, etc.

I think it was an issue of "cramming too many Spider-Man characters / storylines into one movie." There was barely room for the Sandman, Venom/Symbiote/Douchebag Peter AND New Goblin into one film. There just wasn't enough room left to include Gwen Stacy into the plot as anything much more than a cameo.

When I first saw the ads for this, I thought it was going to be a Nellie Bly-style undercover exposé of the corruption and/or terrible conditions in our prisons.

There's a certain level of schmaltz present in everything Spielberg does which both noticeable and a bit cloying at times - but it doesn't usually get in the way of the film, and the guy can produce a damn good movie.

I feel like that's kind of what Obi-Wan can do, which is why he's able to just walk around the Death Star without anyone taking notice of the fact that there's one random dude who is wearing desert robes and not any kind of Imperial uniform.

As others have noted, he's actually doing a "bit," sort of like that one where Sir Patrick Stewart is asleep, and then he says, "You thought I was asleep, didn't you? *satisfied smile* ACTING." Except that that clip ends right before he snaps out of it and reveals that he's doing a bit, so it just looks like Mark…

I've always assumed (at least since having seen Episode I, which happened about a year and a half after I first saw The Empire Strikes Back) that walkers are necessary for ground assaults against a target protected by a shield, because planetary shields are impenetrable by flying or hovering craft, which is why battle…

Felucia is the only remotely alien-looking ecosystem in the entire Star Wars universe.

Given his white uniform, he's probably a member of the Imperial Security Bureau http://starwars.wikia.com/w…

I think that was supposed to be an actual klaxon alarm going off at some point in the film, not just one of those stupid sound effects you see in every ~dramatic~ sci-fi action film trailer.

So … Winter.

Actually, they've sorted themselves out since then. Positive comments sympathetic to the issue being discussed are overwhelmingly popular. I've loaded more comments twice and there's only been like, one or two random negative comments yet. Go back and check it out again, you won't be disappointed.

Some articles attract a crowd of commenters who are different from the regular AVC commentariat.

Was it a millionaire who said "imagine no possessions"?
A poor little schoolboy who said "we don't need no lessons"?

Whatever cinematic, logical and narrative flaws Pacific Rim may have, they don't impede the story or any of the fun you have from watching it.
