It can be satisfying to see Jennifer call Dad out on his bullshit—at one point, he fakes a phone call with an auto dealership, pretending to request the return of his deposit on a car he’d allegedly bought her, only to turn around and see that she’s unplugged the cord.

Asked to comment on the “Changing the ‘Captain America Twitter Avatar to Captain Carter” controversy, Feige said, “What in the Goddamned hell are you talking about?”

Please have Ed Sheeran screaming his little ginger head off, rather than stick him crooning over ethereal keyboards before Dani does his bit. Also, bonus points if Sheeran yells something ludicrously obscene about corpses.

The first paragraph exhibits an understanding of what Chapek quite obviously meant. The second paragraph is classic Barsanti nonsense. So here's my question: Who really wrote the first paragraph?

Yeah, why are people so invested in this? Does it really make a different to anyone other than the hosts themselves and the elderly people who leave it on for their cats?

CZJ and Guzman’s casting are the only promising things I have heard about this, but “post-2000 Tim Burton product” already eliminated any potential for excitement in me. Then you add in that it sounds like multiple other teen Netflix/CW shows, AND its being run by the guys who ran Smallville and its like diarrhea on

Maybe someone can clear up a yearslong source of confusion for me...

Reminds me of the first 15 minutes of The Hunt

or you got up and did something else.

I really wish it were easy to disentangle the ways that The Last Jedi was found to be annoying by over-invested fans from the ways in which it was fatally flawed as a film, both onto itself and as part of a trilogy where we knew another chapter was coming.

No one actually “needs” to race though.

It’s been my assertion that the availability of tracks won’t change street racing much if at all. Tracks are organized - sanctioned - tidy ways to race. Street is exciting, spontaneous, living on the edge kind of excitement. The side show is powerful.

Let’s release the camel things but not any of the enslaved children!”

Yeah, plenty of people have to give up hobbies if they become too expensive or the place they do it closes. It is fucking normal. The sheer asshole nature of racers who think they have a right to race, and they are justified in doing it in the streets if their is no races, it is staggering. Sorry their hobby dried up,

I would agree that TLJ had some interesting ideas but I think they were executed poorly.

I love TLJ, but I’ll agree that Finn doesn’t have much of an arc. But, then again, Han Solo has no arc in ESB or ROTJ, his arc was completed beautifully in ANH. Leia never has an arc and both of those characters are stranded with absolutely zero to contribute in ROTJ far more egregiously than anything that happens to

I’m with you. The stuff centered on Rey and Kylo I very much enjoyed, and to my mind contains the best scenes in the sequels by a good margin. But then the Canto Bight stuff is in the running for the worst plotline in any Star Wars movie. It’s probably not quite as bad as the Padme/Anakin Naboo frolic or the entire

Luke was always my favorite character as a kid, and I loved him in The Last Jedi. Mark Hamill was great before, and in this film he was utterly fantastic.

The Force Awakens was responsible for Luke’s cynicism. It gave us a Luke that would abandon his friends and loved ones to die. Rian Johnson was left to explain what version of Luke could possibly do that.  He succeeded.

That would be character-appropriate on all counts.
