I’m against fame as a concept, and don’t at all like people who seek fame for its’ own sake.

I thought the contrast of the hundreds of faces illuminated by the lighting of the building in contrast with Agnes and Ada left in the dark was an inspired directorial flourish as it magnified their philosophical differences to anything new, literally in black and white. Even Bertha says “We go where the future takes…

I’m not upset by this because if Daphne and Simon were still central, the show would become a tiresome story of a married couple fighting. The first season’s success was due to it being a sexy drama about courtship and scandal- it makes sense to have season two center on courtship and scandal through other characters.

Have you watched Batman Forever recently?

Nothing in that movie makes any sense. Things just sorta happen for the sake of happening.

Batman lets Two-face get away from the much too long sequence in the beginning of the movie and then never makes an attempt to try and find him again. The next time we see two face is when…

Peggy is wonderful and I hope this kicks off a big career for the actress

Yours is a lot more eloquent than mine, which will probably be titled

Well, and with TDK, also another 50% absolutely amazing acting and characters.

I’d say that in order for the nazi analogy to really hit, you need to imagine a Europe where a vocal and sizable minority of people are really into that whole nazi thing. Not so much the actual holocaust, they’ll claim, but the ‘culture’ and the ‘heritage’ and the ‘pride’.

Look, I get The Dark Knight being at the top of the list, it’s the safe choice, but...come on, it’s only just barely a fucking Batman movie. TDK is 152 minutes, Batman/Bruce is only in 36 minutes of the thing and, if we’re being perfectly frank, any minute Joker, Gordon, or Dent isn’t on screen is a complete and total…

I just don’t get the love of Nolan films. I’ve seen all his films except Insomnia and Following and I am always disappointed in Nolan films. Every time one comes out I swear I won’t see it because I haven’t really liked any of the others and then the word of mouth or just being on a streaming service I pay for suckers…

I expect Mr. Raikes will somewhat follow the real Flagler story. He will leave Marian to marry the new girl. Eight months later, the new girl will wind up dead and Mr. Raikes will inherit a fortune. He will later die of syphilis.

I came here to be mildly annoyed and I was not disappointed.

Seems like you have niche tastes that don’t readily compare with what a lot of other people enjoy.

Batman & Robin is way too high on this list.

I’m not sure about rapidly, but Joss Whedon has to be up there. From first becoming known to geeks with Buffy in 1997 right up until just before Age of Ultron came out, he was very much critically acclaimed with a crazy-intense fanbase. There’d been warning signs in his work that a small number of people had raised…

Batman Returns is way too high on this list.

I’m with you on this one, honestly. I’m all for critical writing that dissects issues and frictions in the creator’s work. But you do actually have to...discuss those issues and frictions, or at the very least say more about them than this. It just feels like no thought was put into this at all.

But, to be fair, that m…

If that was the point of the article, then why the tangent about GoT being “rooted in imperialism and sexism”? Why the complaint that the book had been written in the 90s and not updated enough for the show? Why the mention of Cixin Liu politics?? Why the implication that Benioff and Weiss should not be adapting The…

Honestly, this team is brilliant at adapting existing work. Everything they adapted from the author went over very well, for the most part. It’s any time they created their own ideas whole cloth that the quality dipped dramatically, especially when they ran out of book to adapt and had to write everything.

This comment is going to condemn me to grey forever, but whatever - I don’t like the tone of this piece. It’s condescending, confrontational, but also very shallow. It throws a lot of accusation at a lot of people - Martin, Liu, Beniof & Weiss and Netflix, but it doesn’t give justification for any of it. It doesn’t…
