I think that part is crucial to finish the clever trick the movie pulls on us when Ripley refuses to open the airlock earlier in the movie: it looks then like she's heartless and almost robotic (irony strikes!), but the scenes such as Ripley going back for Jones demonstrate that she's really the only one on the ship…

I love Aliens, but I think Weaver pulls off a much harder role in Alien: a by-the-book, hard-ass intermediary between the valiant officers and goofball crew of a sci-fi spaceship, but within a very rare sort of sci-fi movie where the rulebook is there for a reason and the one person who follows it prevails in the face…

Terminator 3 (which had plenty of genuine problems) caught flak for Loken's occasionally emotive Terminator, but there are scenes in both The Terminator and Terminator 2 where the villains show similar displays of emotion, feelings such as contempt, excitement or even panic, in muted or alien ways.

CGI works in Terminator 2 in part because of the casting choice for the heavily CGI-enhanced character. Some actors look right at home in the transition; some don't. In this movie, Robert Patrick does.

After "Best of Both Worlds"—heck, after "Q Who"—I'd be disturbed about kids on the ship too if I were Picard. It was played as a quirk of Stewart's character and he acted it well, but it made everyone else look kind of insane for thinking it was okay.

That's adorable.

Kind of funny how crap "Apocalypse" turned out after y'all preemptively hailed it as a success story for Turner and the means for her to even qualify for this Inventory. With a cast that bloated and characters that undercooked and flat, I'd almost forgotten Turner was in the movie.

I love how this article, which was a lot of fun to read, undermined its premise by mostly describing movies where bad hairpieces place far, far down on the list of elements that ruined the movie.

Time for you to get a new wig…?

Quiet, child.

Most of the comments over the months since this article went up have been about how various terrible action movies were more fun in 3D. And, well… of course. That's always been the braindead bread and butter of this gimmick. There's no gimmick (or team of surgeons) alive that could put brains into the head of "Life of…

No.

Leland Orser, as everyone's loser lackey.

It's good.

Yeah, it is, but a lot of people have gotten pretentious about it and the industry has encouraged it alongside a few academics looking for their grant cut. People have a strong need to believe video games are "good for you" or "achieve goals" beyond escaping reality for a little bit.

I don't know who Gareth is but I'm not sharing with you.

…yeah, y'all are doomed.

A Michael Crichton property presents a fantastic version of potential dangers from a new social or technological development.

To be fair, his strategy is also "wait for 27 years which happened to include entire online communities dissecting how to beat this particular game".

Or, if you're a cynic, the retro market manipulation Nintendo is famous for.
