So, here is something weird that just happened but I thought I'd mention it since it pertains to this article…I am sitting here reading this and thinking about just how much I love "All About Eve", and Bette Davis in general, with Turner Classic Movies on waiting for a Cagney movie to start when an ad comes on for a

Alan Tudyk does die well, doesn't he?

My husband and I just got finished rewatching all of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and what you said immediately made me think of that—DS9 was Star Trek, but a very different take on the world than that which came before it. DS9 itself always felt kind of gritty and grimy in a way to me, and then add in the war with

I disagree, because the flashback set up the motivation for Galen to put the flaw in the Death Star in the first place…we see that he was recruited back to the Empire against his will, and why he had such as ax to grind. Without that, his defiance would've felt more contrived. It would be like cutting out Luke's

We went to a 7:00pm, 2-D showing and it was pretty close to sold out, despite the fact that it was ridiculously cold out last night. It was a pretty engaged crowd, too, that applauded at the end and about half the theater stayed throughout the credits

I agree; somehow watching Vader slaughter that hallway-full of Red Shirts like that gave me the only moment in the film where I suddenly was able to question whether the rebels were actually going to get the plans out. Obviously, that is a feat lol

He hesitated with Galen Erso because he was already developing feelings for Jyn, and he would be killing the father that she was so passionately trying to save. It was a different situation

I know that the general consensus seems to be that Krennic was an underwhelming villain, but I actually think he was more compelling to me than if he were a standard, bombastic, totally evil bad guy Imperialist that I was expecting we'd get. Instead, I saw moments of sympathy from him—mostly toward Galen—that hinted

Unfortunately, this is the reason I have developed a tendency to shy away from watching these documentaries, as important as they are—you clearly have lots of righteous indignation from finding out what a travesty that case was and I know I would feel the same. I get myself so upset at the things that we let go on in

Yeah, he could not have gotten this far if there wasn't enough latent (or not-so-latent) racist, misogynist hate smoldering around the country for him to tap into so easily

Trump does not apologize for anything, ever. He truly does not seem to believe he is capable of being wrong. If you watch him speak, you can see it in his eyes as he goes from saying some random bullshit to back himself out of a corner to having utter conviction in what he is saying is the truth—absolute

John Oliver does an amazing job of calling him out on it; unfortunately since he is a comedian I suspect the people who need to hear the message are just writing him off. It is a shame that it takes a comedy show to point out the insanity that Trump has and is getting away with.

I saw it suggested on "Any Given Wednesday" that if and when he loses, Trump is going to start his own TV channel to rival Fox News. I can totally see that happening, especially with all the shake-ups going on over at Fox in the wake of the Roger Ailes stuff. Greta Van Sustren is already gone—can't you see her

I completely agree with you here. I was a rabid reader as a child, and I credit that with helping me understand how to structure a sentence well, and how to choose the right words to evoke the emotion or response I'm trying to achieve. Having said that, I also think TV shows like Sesame Street and The Electric

Ah, I was starting to think I was going to be the first one to mention him! I should've known better. But yes, him

This makes me think a little bit of what I thought after we watched The Green Lantern as part of our "Superheroes Done Wrong" film festival—the movie was gods-awful, but I thought that Ryan Reynolds did more with the material than I ever expected. He had that magnetic charisma that made me like him even while he was

Ah ha! I got to NeuroticMoose's comment first…I guess my Vader-as-homage rather than Vader-as-ripoff thought was deserved

I've never been much of a FF fan—I grew up worshiping Spider-Man and spending any pocket change I came by on the many Spidey titles of the 80's and early 90's—so my Doom experience was pretty much limited to Spidey crossovers…

The only reason I scrolled down to the comments on this one was to see if anyone else was as tickled by that as I was!

I was 9 when WarGames came out and I most definitely remember how terrified I was by the threat of a nuclear attack. "The Day After" was the one that gave me nightmares—I even tried to rewatch it a few years ago on YouTube and was still too freaked out to finish it. I think it was the fear of survival, suffering
