The books make it much more clear that the people who end up being able to do magic tend to be the fucked up, whether it's emotionally, sexually, or physically.

Pretty sure that Community is the only reason most of the world was even reminded Yahoo still existed. But hey, I'm sure they're working on exciting partnered ventures with Lycos.

Weren't there rumors about Movie 43 being able to secure the participation, plus multiple years' worth of production, in what must've been absolutely clear even to the participants the worst movie any of them had ever or would ever be associated with (future release of the home movies from Mel Gibson's Hannukah

So for the next season we're leaving the island and going to fun-filled Russia? That seemed like some important/obvious foreshadowing left out of the review in favor of more time spent whinging and hand-ringing about the Canary in the coal mine.

Every time I see Kaity Lotz acting or kicking ass it reminds me of exactly one thing: The wrong Lance sister died. Please screenwriters, fix this?

If Kylo Ren was going to be the coolest kid on the block then Darkwing Duck would still be airing.

Bite your tongue woman! I'm no Brit. That's cultural misappropriation and harassment based off of my scots-irish ancestry that you clairvoyantly knew about, the better to offend. Hmmph, I say! Hmmmph!

This is a family that is the collective poster-child for eugenics. Galaxy-rending planet crushing sithlords every other generation vs. a dude who, let's be frank, chewie easily could have made that shot while Han piloted the thing. Heck, Han shot down Darth Vader, the Red Baron of his day. So what did Luke do

At first I was certain he was supposed to be an offensively twinky elf to hit more demographics. Then they show him having such a moment with the blonde lady's maid Anna and…are you sure he said his name was Bandon? Not Bates? If you're going to so blatantly steal from most brit fantasy stuff you might as well go

There were a couple of episodes there were I was actually trying to damp down some anticipation that something that wasn't incredibly awful might happen. Then…nope, nope…rebooting the reboot during the reboot to the reboot. Assuming I have that right, anyhow.

These episodes are so uneven that I'm starting to think kryptonite isn't actually the kryptonian's kryptonite. The real kryptonite is the lead paint chips that apparently were the only breakfast cereal on Krypton.

The review fails to answer the critical question: Does bustin' make you feel good?

I don't expect a new series to have super awesome fight blocking and writing. I do expect them to be better than my high school drama dept. Unfortunately they've apparently hired the fight director from Punky Brewster who hasn't worked in the intervening decades and his nephew who totally has mastered adobe

The biggest problem I've had with Ray Palmer boils down to stupidity, stupidity, and stupidity. So first—He's a genius cross of Iron Man and Ant Man. Yet he builds a suit to go flying through the atmosphere that IS NOT WATERPROOF. I never realized Ray's suit is actually an inside out iPhone. Jeez bub, you'd best

Do you hate all Star Wars fans? I mean, I can accept that as a possible point of view but otherwise… No. No. A thousand times no. Red Tails was the most insulting piece of poorly written, filmed, and acted drivel masquerading as a black WW2 movie until you see a Tyler Perry remake of Inglorious Basterds.

The UK government itself was aware of just how badly they had been bankrupted "winning" WWI. That's why almost every one of their inter-war-era battleplans can be summed up as "if it looks like they're serious, give them what they want." Not to say that Chamberlain wasn't a mealy-mouthed weak leader who completely

Zombies are a natural hazard like a hurricane, a tsunami, or a presidential election. The most dangerous thing in a zombie apocalypse is other intelligent survivors (all things you won't find in a hurricane, tsunami, or presidential election)

There's this big bright thingamajig in the sky. I've heard rumors it shows two important directions.

Unfortunately the recent Fantastic Four movie was an even better argument against it.

NO telegraphing? The entire frickin' episode was telegraphing. Name ONE time you've seen Maggie's dad's heirloom pocketwatch until now. Or, hey, look, in the same exact scene there's a flare gun displayed conspicuously again in case we forgot it from two weeks ago. Or all of Glenn's 1000-yard-stare as he's
