can someone edit out the james corden so this is watchable

Van Helsing (Dinklage) who teams up with a pacifist vampire (Momoa) in order to scam unsuspecting townsfolk out of their money

While I’m not personally much of a Discovery fan, I can’t fault the creators for trying something wildly different. It’s clear they have a lot of passion for what they developed. They didn’t simply stamp “Star Trek” onto a generic action sci-fi series — there is a lot of depth to the show. I miss the old format and…

Can’t agree. For one, the fact that “Gene Roddenberry pitched Star Trek as an episodic series” means absolutely nothing to me. 1) This was nearly 60 years ago and 2) TOS largely sucked. You’re not wrong that TNG and DS9 are better than Discovery (which I still enjoy a lot, for the record), but that’s not because they…

“It’s in the press about the movie that they have to write a song that unites the world. And that sure is a terrible thing to set yourself up for as a writer. So we needed to find a work around so that we’re not setting ourselves up for an impossible task.”

This is sort of a niggling gripe, but it’s frustrating that so many people consistently shit on films in lists like this. If you didn’t like Prometheus or Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, you know, that’s great to mention in actual reviews. But if I saw this list and followed your instructions and didn’t watch Prometheus…

Eh, it mattered enough for you to write back. Either way, if you actually read Milan tweets,

“immersed herself into the Chinese culture for six years before she even began to write the aforementioned novel.”

I don’t buy this at all. By the second or third subtitled film you watch in your lifetime you’ve already forgotten that you’re reading all the dialogue. It becomes automatic. Acting is a full-bodied art that involves a range of expressions both verbal and nonverbal, most of which are entirely legible in any language.…

Adam Sandler stars as Rob Schneider, who’s been hired to star in a movie biopic of David Spade. But Sandler’s Schneider has a different vision of the Spade character than director Dennis Dugan, a frequent Adam Sandler director but a man whom Schneider does not see eye to eye with. Dugan, played by Kevin James, will…

“taking the dangling threads that were left and spun them into something interesting that would have retroactively made the movie work”

You accidentally put a picture of Night Monkey in the Spider-Man section.

I’d argue the only thing TLJ explicitly says is bad is Kylo’s helmet, which is objectively true. Besides that, the movies central arguments (the Jedi doctrine has lead to a lot of bad things, light/dark binary is reductive, lineage isn’t the only thing that matters) are fully supported throughout the rest of the saga.…

Again, what?

Upon what piece of my writing are you basing this claim that I’m somehow claiming “bloodlines are bad?”

That’s not what I wrote/quoted myself. Because it’s apparently not clear to you, I am making an assertion as to what the thesis of TLJ is and how it is expressed in the film. Many professional reviewers…

I’m sorry, what?

Are you under the impression I’m somehow arguing “broom boy” was going to be the protagonist of Ep. 9?

Do you not understand the metaphorical qualities of film narratives?

Not to mention that the stakes DON’T REALLY MATTER in Rise of Skywalker. The whole film is built upon the fact that Palpatine was killed and then came back to life. So what difference does it make if he’s killed again? He can just come back to life. And he’ll always have a weird crew of space witches to hang out with…

There’s a simpler answer that we’ve all known for decades. JJ Abrams is a fukken hack that can’t recognize a good plot or character point. Skip anything he touches and you’ll be happier.

There’s way, WAY more “OMG this looks AMAZING!!!” fandom (bleh) hyperbole on the site than what you’re referring to as negativity (which is really opinionated critique). 

I’ve seen TRoS twice now and feel very disappointed because it treated me like an idiot. From the minute I read “The dead speak!” I knew I was in trouble. Everything about this movie was the epitome of a cliche, and by the end of it I was like “So y’all are just literally rehashing Return of the Jedi and don’t care,…
