I wish publishers would start writing into author's contracts that they'll hire a ghostwriter to finish your series if you've lost interest. You get 5 years per book. Then the author gets to move on to things they find more exciting, the readers get an ending, and everyone goes home happy.

Normally I'm anti-spoiler, but I'd say it's perfectly reasonable to expect Wonder Woman spoilers in an article about Wonder Woman 2, regardless of how long it's been out.

While I agree that being cavalier about injury can be a problem, I don't think this sounds like an unacceptable risk for a film to take. In my experience with doing acrobatics of various types, preventing broken bones is pretty low on the priority list when it comes to safety. Generally you're worried about preventing:
…

CG animators are paid well everywhere, it's a skilled job that requires technical knowledge. If you're picturing sweatshops, it's really not that. It's mostly cheaper than in the US because cost of living is much lower in other places.

I remember when I was young there were often delays on the lifts because snowboarders would wipe out trying to get off. This doesn't seem to happen much anymore, fortunately, thanks to high speed lifts and gentler descent slopes. The latter I suspect was a deliberate accommodation for snowboarders, actually.

The alien = black man thing is a stretch (though the song does start with Kanye rapping "They calling me an Alien"), but none of that is made up.

Satchels are fine, it's just backpacks that you can't wear over age 20. And every woman who carries a purse can sympathize with you - we've all had that moment of clarity - "why the hell do I carry all this useless shit around with me?"

An obstetrics nurse is probably the single most useful person you could have in a post-apocalypse

I don't think she was ever a huge chart-topper, though. Royals was massive and Team did okay but the rest of the album didn't get much radio play. She's not really a "singles" artist.

When I was a young kid, I saw this comedy bit on TV where they pretended to be some local news channel who had found the one family in the world who still hadn't seen Star Wars. So they sent a camera crew to their house, showed them the movie, and filmed their reaction.

Yeah, Sherlock Holmes had two things going for it that this one doesn't:
1) A real movie star as lead
2) It was actually good

I knew a Lorien (as in Lothlorien). When she introduced herself she just said "Yeah, my parents were hippies."

I think one of the benefits of the "boy band" model is that at least these kids have peers they can bond with. They aren't the star of the show all the time.

Why does he take the bullet out of his leg? It's better to leave it in until you can get proper medical attention - no point risking bleeding out. I'd expect a soldier to know that…

I don't know, I feel like "war is gory" has been done to death in movies. This looks terrifying in a different way - really tense and visceral. That very first teaser with the plane flying overhead and everyone ducking sold it for me.

The weird thing is, the actress for Molly is actually much younger than the other actors. They just somehow managed to cast a 14-year-old who looks 20…

This is one of those movies where I really don't understand who the intended audience was. Fans of depressing character studies don't want to watch a cutesy sports movie, fans of cutesy sports movies don't want gross-out humor, and fans of gross-out humor don't want a depressing character study. I'm sure there are…

There's a ton of strategy behind movie release schedules. Summer's the biggest time for movie watching but you've got big budget films coming out every week or two, which means if you open in summer you get a giant opening weekend and then your movie is basically forgotten in a few weeks.

My understanding (which may very well be wrong) is that in Japan it's considered normal and healthy for kids/teens to have same-sex attractions, but you're expected to "grow out of it" by adulthood. Same-sex teenage relationships are sort of seen as practice for the "real" relationships you'll have as an adult.

I'm guessing they just changed the dialogue in translation. No "editing" required.
