I don’t really like this, sadly enough. It seems too cramped and small scale. Like it’s zoomed in on the centre figures of a much larger poster. The classic Struzan posters all had a ‘widescreen’ feel, with many characters posed against a dramatic background. Maybe this is one of the series of interconnected posters?…

Isn’t it Dune’s 50th anniversary this year? It boggles my mind that we haven’t seen decent adaptation of it. People in the comments are complaining that’s it’s been given two chances already, but it really hasn’t. Only now has the technology come far enough, and the TV industry become open to the idea, that a proper…

If you enjoy exploring themes of identity politics, cultural norms, family relationships and empathy with super-duper maximum undiluted sincerity.

I loved this show so much. The biggest complaints people had were the slow pace, which I loved because I could just enjoy the cinematography and music and not have to worry about an overly complicated conspiracy plot. JMS loves his slow burn. Also the dialogue. Some people may find it silly but I thought the sheer…

I really enjoyed both movies. I think this is an ‘apples and oranges’ comparison. Trainwreck is a romantic comedy with a slightly subversive, self-aware edge; while Spy is a slapstick action comedy/semi-parody.

I appreciate diversity in Fantasy fiction and think we need more of it, and that article is more nuanced and makes some good points, but her view of Epic Fantasy is reductionist and outdated. Epic Fantasy is EPIC, which means it involves the clash of civilizations or forces beyond our understanding. It’s not about…

The comic does address this. It’s one if the major themes of this run: How far can Selina sink into this mire before she can’t pull herself out? Selina’s plans aren’t fully revealed to the audience, but it’s clear she’s playing a long game; trying to consolidate control of the various crime families, to prevent a…

Talking about ‘ages’ of comics, I’d propose that we may be entering into a new age (that could hopefully continue) defined by increasing diversity of characters and (more slowly) creators and bringing a quirkier sensibility into mainstream superheroes. The ‘Indie’ Age

No show meant more to me as a kid than Xena. But I don’t think it could be brought back, at least in a way that kept what made it special. part of what I loved about it was the sheer go-for-broke random sensibility of the show. It could be a slapstick comedy one week, a semi-serious kung fu film the next, and a deadly…

All their silliness aside, their in-depth movie analyses are very insightful.

First Contact was one of the most entertaining and cinematic Star Trek movies, but that doesn’t make it the best. It’s essentially a very effective Aliens clone. The only thematic depth it has come from Picard acting out of character.

‘Gamma’ is an unfamiliar term to me too.

Good job! This has everything I would have included and more besides. Kudos.

So Nico has ditched the Hot Topic look? That’s good.

Jordan vs Ali has their all time best beat (followed by Superman vs Goku).

C’mon, how can you say no to a new Leonard Cohen song?

Wow. Nice to see someone chiming in with some thoughtful analysis, instead of bitching about how this show isn’t sci-fi, or saying that they hated the first season before it was cool to.

I think the problem with Reloaded is that the bad parts (the rave scene, the Architect) are so bad that people forget all the rest of the great stuff.

I’d be interested to know how they’re going to repair Tony’s relationship with Steve Rogers, which was damaged beyond repair in the lead-up to Secret Wars

Exactly. But it's remarkable how many people don't get that.
