Yeah, the writers seemed to think that permission to treat his witness as hostile means Matt gets to immediately deliver sone half-baked closing argument instead of question Frank. The DA would have been shouting "objection!" all over that speech.

I’m frustrated by how long The Winds of Winter has taken, but sweet jeebus, I find the amount of whining the internet does about it to be even more annoying.

This absolutely sounds like something the Joneses would do, judging by Indy’s relationship with his own father. And his relationship with Marion, for that matter.

The Starkiller theme (which plays when Han dies) is pretty distinctive and the only reason it isn’t further to the forefront of public consciousness is because the sequel trilogy as a whole is fairly under-memed. Fans haven’t grown enough of a sense of humor about it to parody it enough for the music to be as…

If the rumors are true that DC is recasting Jason Momoa as Lobo, I’m sure Cavill, the most superhero-looking motherfucker Hollywood has ever produced, will be fine. Perhaps he could be the next General Zod.

In a world where Vladimir Putin exists, the amount of sheer hatred that gets directed at Chris Pratt is very weird to me. My guess is that people tell themselves that it’s because he attended a church that’s homophobic (even though that describes literally every religion in existence), but deep down the vitriol is…

I bet they had him do multiple different versions of the voice for the whole movie and now they're using different trailers to test audience responses to them. Whichever one gets the LEAST internet rage is the version they release.

You can always tell when somebody actually knows what they’re talking about.

My guess is that Flashpoint becomes a soft reset in which some of the actors stay the same and some aspects of the DCEU remain exactly as they were while other aspects change drastically, and we never mention the pre-Flashpoint DCEU ever again, under penalty of torture.

Shazam is also unconnected to anything, I think. At least, I don’t remember any explicit references to the events of any other movies. He meets A superman in the end credits, but since we never see his face we don’t know whether it’s Cavill’s version or not.

Yoda isn’t telling Luke that effort doesn’t matter. It’s not even meant to be a general-purpose mantra. It’s a conclusion to a conversation: Luke arguing that he can’t lift an X-Wing, Yoda (the teacher) saying yes he can, and Luke reluctantly agreeing to try.

Was Mighty No. 9 really THAT bad? It looks like a perfectly standard platformer, even if not really very envelope-pushing.

The thing that seems to be changing for me about R1 is that his character’s arc seems to be two seasons and a movie of being miserable, without ever laughing or smiling and just enjoying being with another human being...

I would bet serious money that he actually really needed to poop.

Rogue One certainly did have underdeveloped lead characters. However, Andor goes a certain distance towards retroactively fixing that. Cassian Andor, Ruescott Melshi, Saw Gerrera, and Mon Mothma are all characters in Rogue One, and they are given backstories here. Cassian is given tons of backstory. Saw’s antagonism…

The one complaint I have with this show is the lack of aliens. I get that “humans only” is good for the budget, but some aliens just need a prosthetic mask and gloves and it’s all good. Rodians, or wookiees, or weequay, or twileks, or devaronians, or duros, or something! If there’s a story reason for the lack of…

Honestly, I’d be happy just to get a remaster of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles.

I feel like if he had been born roughly two generations earlier, Cavill would have hung out with nerdy best friends Peter Cushing, Vincent Price and Christopher Lee:

Seriously though, there's zero chance of Hunchback of Notre Dame getting a live action remake.
