Nah, see, I thought that approach worked perfectly in 2014 Godzilla. It's the same approach as in Jaws and Alien: the deadly monster is even more terrifying when you can't see him but you know he's probably nearby, and even more so when you can't see him and you know he's nearby.

Everyone forgets Farscape in general, which is a damn shame because it's a nifty little show.

The Middle.

You're forgetting that Japanese-Americans are a thing that exist.

Here's something I've always wondered: why make stop-motion puppets/sets so small? Wouldn't they be easier to animate and build if they were quite a bit larger?

"Lobster monster"

Actually, I find the opposite is true. Social justice is pretty heavily skewed toward a concern for the genuinely underprivileged and socially marginalized and those struggling to just survive on a day to day basis, but it just happens to be done in a way that's nastily judgemental and outright sociopathic in many

It's a bit funny any cultures that white Western countries are or were determined to destroy because they're "barbaric" and/or culturally/racially "inferior" are the ones that get romanticized and mysticized and idealized for their wisdom, grace, and dignity etc. etc. - even while the West is in the act of actively

It's even worse, I've found, when you hear that shit in person.

I wonder, just out of curiosity, how those making these comments feel about Black Lives Matter and/or Occupy Wall Street, and whether they defended any violations of the law and the general disruptiveness committed by the latter two groups as strongly as they defended the reckless lawlessness of these auto enthusiasts.

I absolutely cannot comprehend why anyone would hate the music of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.*

I mean, actual black jazz musicians - the very people Scharpling is rightly accusing Billy Crystal of disrespecting - DID and DO play the clarinet.

See, that's totally different than hating the Muppets. Hating the forced revival of The Muppets of late is very different than hating the Muppets in general.

I don't think that "overrated" is at all the same as "terrible," nor is "needing to be taken down a peg" at all the same as "deserving of condemnation."

I really have to defend Cloud Atlas' portrayal of East Asian characters by white actors, since doing so was the only way they could really show characters of color or a non-Western setting, given the film's gimmick of casting all the same actors in different setting as different characters.

Still waiting for your Hogwarts owl, too.

Headcannons are great because it sort of encourages fans to think creatively about the stuff they're watching, and it doesn't require anyone to insist that their theories actually ARE cannon.

The plot hole I had a problem with is that, if human beings are just the bastard children of the Engineers and they seeded our species onto Earth, why does the fossil record very clearly show that we evolved from ancient apes?
