They do a terrible job of explaining any motivations beyond James is a sociopath within the system. It doesn't really make sense as anything but a witch hunt who just wanted to throw Hank in a deep dark hole at any cost. Which kind of ends up in a lazy storytelling position as now it's a 'good government/bad…

I think a better correlation is release delays that stretch into years are an inclination that people think it blows and are trying to edit it to salvage something.

I still don't get the magic. She's like a less interesting version of Anne Hathaway who is a less interesting version of Julia Roberts who herself is a less interesting version of basically every other 'girl next door who can barely act' leading actor in hollywood.

I remember being in a comic book shop as a pre-teen in the mid-90s and seeing the original Mask comic after the movie came out….I was not ruined but it certainly made me question the existence of a deity and if there really was any good left in the world. It was just a really bad 90's gore comic that had a great…

Well it's implied to be a military tribunal..but then it waffles back and forth in the discussion of rights and the fact that Alex isn't actually a military officer completely negates it being a tribunal, since contractors and liaisons get a civilian review board and court jurisdiction.

I've really enjoyed catching up (binged the last 5 in a row now) but this is something that always frustrates me in lazy TV writing. No, no organization is going to send in people to do IA work who have personal or semi-personal relationships with the people in question or the side players/victims. This is why IA…

He had his feelings NOT reciprocated. That's how relationships work, I actually have to respect that they gave Winn a kind of 'resentful petty Winn' arc as he worked through the reality of what 'friendzoning' actually is and came out the other side alright. The scripts were so-so for him but as an actor he really…

I like your analysis but I've grown tired of the whole TV Tropes phenomenon, this is basic storytelling skills 101, to call it a 'trope' is to imply it's a crutch. She is being setup as a major villain on the human side of the rogue's gallery and will likely emerge as Season 2's multi-episode protagonist. She…

Are there really that many Supergirl comic readers coming here in desperation for their fix? >.> This is both snark and kind of honest. I'm somewhat familiar with DC (I preferred Marvel…Peter Parker is just more fun) but it seems like the show is more or less using a semi-modern run of Supergirl as their basis but…

If I was, wouldn't it have happened already? Oooohh…. :P

Already been beaten to it but as pointed out: Reuben's collection was vast and not well cataloged. Some of the images they found were in boxes that Reubens himself had not even sorted through. They generally ruled that while some were underage the age of them (and any possible victim) was sufficient to not be worthy…

Paul Reubens - 63, almost 64. Does he really still count as middle-aged?

In what way? I'm willing to throw down cash on the barrelhead both turn a profit. I think Warcraft eeks out a slimmer one, probably relying more on overseas markets, but still makes it's cash back especially if we treat it as a 2 hour commercial for WoW (which will assuredly see a major spike in player subscriptions…

It was in development hell for the better part of a decade. This was set to be shot in 2006 and released by 2008 (basically prime WoW time). MMOs are by their nature a pretty narrow market in the US because they're giant aggressive subscription-based time sinks. MOBAs have become the hot new thing that everybody is…

I could see a small indie pic actually form out of that. Maybe write a set of 3 or 4 gamers decide to meet up and actually go physically meet the leader of Serenity Now who happens to be a successful tech company exec. It's a dark comedy basically, the bumble through a pretty staid set of plans that go wrong (either…

So we're just completely making shit up now, internet? Look, I know it's friday, end of the work week….But go home Internet, you're drunk!

Yes. Aggressive subtext has been putting Pearl into a weird romantic relationship with Steven as well.
Yes. Ruby and Sapphire are definitely a couple.
Maybe? There is definitely a very strong implication that Amethyst and Gregory had a weird awkward 'grief' relationship, in fact when she shifts into Rose there is a…

Kung Fu Hustle followed Kung Pow: Enter the fist by two years but yet they seem to merge in my head based on time (two very different films, KFH is light years better). I really wish Chow got a better release here because I sat down and watched The God of Cookery after a write up on AVC a while ago and his films are…

Common sense is our polite way of addressing shared cultural stereotypes and ideals. They aren't anymore common than the end of your cultural regime's power. At least you didn't use it as a cultural normative battering ram like so many others… :S

It's a cultural shift in acknowledgement. It's no different than God's Speed or farewell though I do admit it is a magnitude worse because it is effectively bad grammar, it should be 'I am so sad' or 'that is so sad.'
