I kind of wish the Mysterious Benedict Society show had taken off a little more. It pings a lot of the same notes (special kids growing up together in a world of villains they must slay, alongside a series of mentors who must leave the real work to the kids), but different enough to feel new and it’s own thing. More…

But adults simply cannot wave little sticks around and hide from the rest of the human world and be cool.

I hope Disney succeeds because I really love the Percy Jackson Verse, and I think it’s a great way to introduce kids to mythologies.

I enjoyed this slow, intense and revealing character study, having just watched The Card Counter, another performance and study... My favorite thing about Colman is her eye/smile combo. Her smile can be precisely the same, though her eyes will convey whether she is actually smiling, grimacing, menacing or gritting her…

What’s hilarious is that this “concluded franchise” isn’t even halfway through its big-budget prequel spinoff series, but nobody really cares. We just keep talking about the original books, while the active movies are just “oh yeah, that’s a thing that exists.” Fantastic Beasts isn’t really loved or hated or even…

Because it’s hers. That’s the simple answer. She created it, it’s her intellectual property, she owns the rights to it, and she’s still alive. Until she sells her rights in entirety or dies, nothing — nothing — happens in Harry Potterland without either JK Rowling’s blessing or JK Rowling getting a big fat check out…

I’m honestly willing to give other authors/screenwriters a shot at a Rowling-less “Potter” property.

The Expanse started out great and has gotten better with every new season. I can’t understand why it gets so little love from critics. Just a few mentions here and there.

Once again, like on every year end list Doom Patrol is forgotten.

Thank you. I’m not watching a video. I’d do a slideshow first.

Fett: The dreams are back

Sure the old EU was weird but the thing about it is that fans reminiscing about it now tend to forget the whole issue that 99 times out of 100 the weirdness was... well it was utter shit.

Stop trying to make Fett happen!

“Put fucking Capt. Solo in the fucking cah-go hold!”

Is it me or the Tusken that fight Bobba Fett is female Tusken. Did they end up sleeping together? And yes Fett’s cloth and gaffi stick definitely belongs to that Tusken Raider.

it feels as if escaping the thing should either be equally weird, or not depicted at all, and become another legend spoken in hushed tones about the indestructible Boba Fett. Here, it’s just a guy punching his way out of a meat cave.

“Jabba ruled by fear. I intend to rule through the best selection of comfort food in the galaxy.” 

Not gonna lie, I was a little disappointed when this wasn’t the restaurant comedy I was hoping.

This is the kind of world building Star Wars needs. If they want to keep going back to the OT, then they need to do more to add to the lore like this show does. If they had only gone back to Tatooine without contributing anything new, I would drop the show. But they’re showing more of Tusksan culture and how things…
