I felt like Rey did that for a lot of star wars fans, in a way. Because I can’t remember A New Hope beat for beat but watching TFA, I felt like I was on another adventure. But this time, it was a young woman on screen, uninterested in romantic entanglements, lonely, and a little lost. That’s powerful stuff. I would’ve…

Doesn’t Dune justify what Leto did though? His goal was to set humanity free on a path of self-determination free from messiahs and such extreme control.

And the series gets there with the birth of people immune to future seeing (and Herbert’s claim that the series woudl have ended with the rise of a democracy). I…

Get a better actress, you say? I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: Lupita is RIGHT THERE. They’ve got time to rewrite things now. God knows Disney and Marvel have the money to reshoot the shit out of this thing. Write her out. Make Lupita the new Black Panther instead. Problem solved.

Replace her with a quickness. If she is a problem on this to the point where she has no issue demonstrating that she gives zero shits about the rest of the cast and crew, and holding up an entire film for her ignorant, wack-a-doo political beliefs? She is not somebody you want on your team at all. This would not be…

The “high school punk” look is kinda embarrassing when you’re almost 40.

90% of the examples in this article are not about the Uncanny Valley. The uncanny valley isn’t just bad CGI and it very explicitly is not about any animal. It is about humans and humanoid objects and how we have a strong negative reaction to a humanoid object that looks 90% like a human, but not to one that looks 50%…

I agree with you to some extent, but I’d argue many of the DC animated movies that have come over the past decade have tried to do the “adult” thing, and really just come across as violent, crass cartoons.

Real talk: WB needs to stop pouring hundreds of millions into weirdly toned mean-spirited “adult” live-action adaptations and lean HARD into what’s already been proven to work best not just artistically, but thematically: Animation. The best version of DC’s characters have always been their animated versions.

I fully take these arguments as the other side of the coin! They’re all very good and valid. I just see them different! 

Well, he was actually two crewmen. And in the operations of the ship, the people were valuable in the extreme separately. And with tens of thousands of lightyears to go, you need everybody you can get doing the best they can do at what they do. To say nothing of their respective families and lives. It was a hard…

Janeway is garbage.

Every one of these new animated series looks worse than the next

Maybe Netflix needs to give a trans comedian an hour to rip on black people.

I always find it funny that TRAs and non-binary advocates are lumped together. Their agendas are diametrically opposed.

I suspect Netflix will ride this one out, not necessarily because of the numbers of Chappelle’s special or because they are run by a secret cabal of international TERFs or whatever. Especially if the walkout only draws 1 in 12 of their workforce. They’ve probably had more turnover than that in the last few months…

It’s shocking how many people have not seen The Closer but decided they hate it and boycotting it, which ironically is what the controversy is about. This hypocrisy is gonna get us another Trump.  I didn’t find it offensive, in fact, if people watched it (especially the last part) they’d see it addresses a bigger…

I have not read her tweets but I do know going through law school and being recognized and awarded while do so and while working is no trivial task. The woman genuinely seems sharp. These type of people tend to toot their horn a bit but it doesn’t make them any less worthy of being protected from undue process and…

WTF do you want from me right now? If you wanna mock me, at least be direct, will you?

Here’s the thing about nicotine vaping: let’s assume for a minute that 5 decades down the line, we will know for a fact that indeed, vaping is MUCH less harmful to human cells than any form of tobacco smoke. That would make these things one of the most brilliant smoking cessation products ever invented. I’ve witnessed…

to get the snark out of the way:
