In fact, their blind spots and rigid adherence to an outdated code make it easier to understand how Anakin became so disillusioned with the Jedi that he wound up slaughtering a temple full of them.

Pretending to be too enlightened for bullshit clickbait in the midst of vomiting out precisely said form of bullshit clickbait is, sadly, the entire operating procedure of this witless contemporary version of AVClub.

I think Filoni maybe gets a little too much praise these days but I will always appreciate him fleshing out the clone troopers. In the prequels, so little time is spent with them they feel almost as robotic as the actual robots they’re fighting. By doing things like giving them names, having some have genuine…

I guess I don’t really see how things being expanded later on in other series really “redeems” the flawed original. Like it’s entirely possible for one thing to better than another without the other thing really affecting the other’s quality. I get this in the sense that the prequels and its off-shoots more or less…

IMO that’s what makes Visions so awesome. Without the shackles of canon, people did some amazing storytelling.

Phantom Menace just had a milestone anniversary.

It seems so obvious when Filoni puts it in these terms.

It is silly, but it’s hard to overstate just how much the opening night crowd lost their shit when finally seeing Yoda in action for the first time. It was a giddy thrill. Of course when CGI advances over the next 25 years and you watch it over and over again and realize he’s just doing Sonic the Hedgehog’s spinball…

The sequel trilogy is leaps and bounds ahead of the prequels, at least in terms of some of the action. There is little redeeming value from the prequels.

Seriously. It sounds so flagrant I can’t imagine not crediting the creator of the show.

Isn’t this just a more boring version of Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends?

There is only one perfect kids’ movie, and that’s Ernest Scared Stupid!

Krasinski has long suffered the delusional self-confidence that infects many an actor turned auteur: that he can write. This was not helped, I suspect, by his rewriting of what (by reputation) was already a very solid A Quiet Place script. Many actors turned filmmaker are competent visualists but it’s rarer to find…

But is she abused on every project, or is she someone with untreated trauma who keeps transferring that trauma onto every project she works on?
She often tries to leave projects that are underway. Not every set is a happy set, but not every set is a miserable hell-hole, either. She’s also typically working on projects…

I was just going to say, I don’t think I’ve ever seen any story involving this woman which hasn’t been about her claiming something horrible happened to her behind the scenes.

I feel so bad for Charlyne Yi. She seems to get abused on every project she works on.

Also, requiring a Comcast sub means even if this bundle is a little less than getting them on their own it’ll probably be worse since you’ll be locked into a Comcast contract, meanwhile if you just get them on their own you can take advantage of discounts when they pop up or just drop them for a while.

Depends on the show. There are plenty of shows I’ve watched where when it finished I just think “That was it?” because they needed more time to breathe or flesh things out. The ones that suffer the worst for that are (imo) sci-fi shows which need to do a lot of world building fast, along with character stuff and, you…

Good shows took advantage of the longer seasons by developing characters and a larger world. And also some one-off episodes are just plain fun. Person of Interest and Fringe are both shows that would have been worse off with shorter seasons.

This take would make more sense if there weren’t a la carte options for the individual services, something basic cable never offered.
