I’m just dreading the moment when Kylo is redeemed in a later film. You know it’s coming. I hated it enough when it happened with Vader, and I will hate it even more now that it’s derivative (how many times does a movie have to center around trying to redeem a Skywalker?). As much as I love Star Wars, I might just

Most flights I take nowdays are completely full, so this probably won’t work for me. I just take an aisle seat when I can, and hope the middle seat next to me stays empty. And if not . . . I still have my aisle seat.

So Disney “fixed” the script? But there’s still the bad taste left in my mouth by knowing that a male-focused, white-centrist script was written and purchased in the first place. Maybe Disney should release the name of the original script writer so people can direct their outrage at the correct person (rather than

Abba’s “Money, Money, Money” — seems fitting. But did he just happen to have that record laying around?

I haven’t seen that many Guy Ritchie movies, but the ones I have seen lack color. And the trailer for his King Arthur movie seems to have the same problem. That style doesn’t seem suited to Disney movies.

I accept that animals eat other animals, and people are animals. BUT, humans have many options to choose from, so there is no excuse to kill higher life forms like whales, elephants, eagles, etc. for food. Some animals are “feeder food” like chickens and fish — they breed rapidly and they’re not very smart — and

“things either call for things, or they don’t.” -- so, by default all characters are supposed to be white, unless the script specifically calls for a character to be non-white (and the reason to call for a non-white cannot be diversity)? I guess that would explain why his characters are always white even when they

The CGI looks bad. The sets look like sets, and cheap ones at that (although I’m sure the budget was huge, so somebody is pocketing that money, because it’s not showing up on screen). The trailer does nothing to get me invested in the “stakes,” despite the overly-epic music’s attempt to convince me this is important.

You can achieve the same result by “hunting” with a camera. You don’t need to kill endangered animals, which is a crime against the planet and against future generations, and then make up an excuse that your kill “fed” some villagers.

Yeah, and the money Trump wasted on the hunting expedition would probably have fed the villagers for a long time - a lot longer than the leopard carcass. If Trump wants to feed people, go work in a slaughterhouse where he can enjoy killing an animal AND actually feed many people at the same time. Leave the wild

But in this particular case, the defining “looks” of the character of Maui are the tattoos and ti leaf skirt. Children cannot run around on Halloween wearing ONLY tattoos and ti leaf skirt, so in order for the costume to exist, Disney had to attach the tattoos and ti leaf skirt to fake skin. I don’t see how it that

I think feral cats need to be put down. BUT I am disturbed by someone who takes joy in killing a pet. Imagine is a veterinarian actually ENJOYED putting down dogs, or if a worker in a slaughterhouse actually thought killing the beef was fun - you’d think he/she was a sick f-ck, right? Same with that women who killed

When I saw this title, my mind read it as “Anarchist Cookbook” and I thought, wow, how do you make a movie out of that? Turning a shotgun into a grenade launcher? Pot brownie recipes?

Yeah, I’d like to see that, since I’m assuming SOMEONE has to fill the position after the incumbent died. I know it could be that guy who broke his arm (can’t remember the character’s name), but why not Mako?

I never understood why people call him a “whistleblower” — isn’t that term used for people who report violations of law? What the government did was legal. The average person might not agree with it, but it was legal and he knew it. There was no “whistleblowing” involved, only the release of secret information. That’s

I still remember watching the academy awards or some other awards show where Orbach performed “Be Our Guest” live — and my mother lamented that he didn’t do it in the French accent. The rest of us were like, “Mom, do you know how hard it is to sing that song live, even without the accent?!”

When I was younger, I only wanted a time machine to see the future, because why would I want to see the past? But now, I don’t really want to see the future anymore, because I suspect it sucks.

Sure the Germans made mistakes in the past, but that’s why pencils have erasers.

I know I’m old, but when I was a kid, the moral of The grasshopper and the ant” was that it’s a good thing to work hard and plan for your, and your family’s, future. And living in the moment for fun without care for tomorrow was irresponsible. Of course, back then we were expected to be self-sufficient once we reached

This is what I’m afraid of. Coffee will end up driving all tigers extinct, I just know it. But stopping coffee will never happen, so I just have to brace myself for the mass extinction of species during my lifetime.
