I want it to be a revival where we see all the Ducks grown up and old.  But for some reason have to get the team back together to defeat the Russians again or whatever

No, Disney only has streaming rights to my soul.  I was very clear about that.

Get Joshua Jackson. Let him play Charlie from the original Mighty Ducks movies. He is now in the Gordon Bombay role and is forced to coach little league hockey team. He’s over it until he gets a visit from his old coach Gordon, who is now in the Hans role from the movies. Throw in one or two charismatic kid leads and…

My favourite part is that they do it while knowing they are doomed. There are certain branch of religions that are based on conviction that the only reason people do good is to save themselves from eternal damnation. It’s the fear that keeps them in line. If you remove that fear it’s be all murder and anarchy.

But most importantly we love shirtless Chidi. 

Yeah, it’s not a “lack of balls,” it’s a different worldview.

I refer you back to Angel, Lorne and the A.V. Club meme: it can be two things.

I don’t see a Mike Schur series ending with “and they all burned in Hell forever, the end”. He’s telling the story of the journey of these characters, and it wouldn’t be satisfying for them to end up exactly where they started.

“Bleak” and “ballsy” get conflated a lot, but sometimes being earnest and optimistic is a…

I was going to say the same. I’d also give props to another Marvel casting coup - Robert Redford in The Winter Soldier. Seeing eternally charming guy Redford suddenly turn evil was almost as off-putting as seeing Bridges do the same.

And like a lot of these performances, Bridges as Obidiah Stane is a Bridges performance only slightly modulated to great effect. He’s affable, charismatic, and happily invades your personal space like a good buddy would do, but done to a more chilling, threatening effect, the villain who, as Henry Hill noted about his…

I’d add Jeff Bridges in Iron Man, if only because he’s been the Dude for the past 20 years, and that’s just who he is now. 

Hopefully this movie does well enough that Disney sees people like Ewan McGregor and THEY FUCKING CAST HIM IN THE OBI WAN MOVIE.

Oh bother

Hell Dick refused to use a gun as a police officer or secret agent! 

I was unreasonably bothered that the “American” pies were all baked in tart pans, not pie plates like they would be in actual America. Do they not know, or do they not have pie plates in Britain?

Most of those showstoppers are not American pies.

No? When the beneficiaries of colonialism are themselves forced to become refugees after Hela returns to resume conquest? When Hela is willing to rule over a kingdom of reanimated corpses rather then give up her dreams of empire? That the only way to defeat Hela isn’t through greater force of arms, but to destroy the…

While I understand and agree that—initially—Ruby’s revelation of not being a good solo-stone was cop-out-ish...I don’t think Eric makes enough of the reasons Ruby is exploring her independence here. THIS is Ruby’s side of the Pink Diamond revelation. While Sapphire feels cheated because Garnet feels like it’s based on…

And the Fistball Special!

Plus there’s the fact that out of context it looks really suspicious that Danny Rand, The Immortal Iron Fist, Protector of Kun-Lun, and Sworn Enemy of The Hand bought a building completely out of the blue just to burn it down. He’s probably going to be investigated for insurance fraud or something.
