If you want an idea of what Marvel is up against, in terms of fanboy myopia, just read the comments on this article:

I know, that's why I bought the trade. But you could tell marvel wasn't behind the series, as the art switched almost every issue, between two completely different styles of art.

Sounds like you're still carrying grudges from a decade ago. Easy to understand, what with all the terrible comics from then. But these days Marvel Comics, at least the face they present to the public, seems to a whole different company.

One thing that I think that Deep Space Nine episode should get credit for is that the episode frames the controversy about the two women hooking up as being about their alien taboo of current symbiont hosts not hooking up with past hosts' partners. The characters never remark on the fact that it's two women who are in…

I read an article and dropped a comment about something that bugs me. It wasn't any kind of grand gesture. This site is a gamble. Sometimes you get an interesting discussion going, sometimes you get flames. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And yet I DON'T hate all hip-hop, because it's not an all-or-nothing, love-it-or-leave-it issue, and it's possible that enjoying music is more nuanced than that.

1) Yeah, and hip-hop has since moved far beyond that. The Bomb Squad and The Dust Brothers were combining dozens of samples into totally unrecognisable new songs only a decade after 'Rapper's Delight'. Straight sampling nowadays is like the equivalent of a rock band basing a song on the 'Wild Thing' riff. It was once…

I've since come around after hearing My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and then The College Dropout, but for a long time 'Touch The Sky' soured me completely on Kanye West. It just seemed crazy to me that the man was so critically acclaimed after he released such a song, where every clever and memorable element was…

Yeah, before reading this review, I thought that skit was more of a tribute to the bizarre go-for-broke comedy alchemy of Gremlins 2; that it was so awesome it could only have been conceived by a madman.

The Roxy Music dance scene over the end credits is enough to redeem his presence in that film.

That will be his final test: Acting convincingly under all that latex or CGI

Well to be fair, to see Isaac in Ex Machina after seeing him in A Most Violent Year is to see a masterclass in the same actor building very different characters.

Man, does Oscar Isaac have the greatest hit rate of any young actor working today? The man just can't be bad in a film if he tried.

I also think this review gives short shrift to Richie's genuinely clever stylistic achievements in the Holmes films. The chase through the forest in Game Of Shadows, with the bullets whizzing by, is a genuinely inventive and invigorating use of slo-mo and CGI.

That doesn't hurt.

For me, it does Lost/24 right, in that it spends a long time letting you learn and care about the characters before expecting you to care about the conspiracy sci-fi plot.
You really can't compare it to those other shows though. It's so sincere and humanistic, and not underpinned by cynicism or nihilism like so many…

People who complain that the 'conspiracy/evil doctor/Sense8' plotline took too long to develop sound to me like they're yelling "When are they gonna get to the fireworks factory!?"
As if that's the point of the show.

The 'superhero-lite' plotline was not what you were supposed to care about.

What do you mean by 'aimless' in this case? If the show's aim was to explore the tribulations of a variety of diverse characters and gradually reveal their connection in surprising and innovative ways, then it definitely achieved that.
