Always happy to see Olivia Cooke pop up in things, but also: these women basically look the same age.

Holy shit killing them off like that is such a fucking downer move it completely takes away all interested i had in seeing this. 

So that’s y’all reacting to “spoilers” from Fire and Blood (which I haven’t read and don’t care to). I mean, it’s obvious what happened with Otto, the kid, and Mysaria, so it seems odd that they would call it a spoiler and make the assumption that I’ve read the book and not just, you know, paid attention to the…

How so? We literally saw this happen in the episode.

Easily. Because they were both really bad. You might as well have asked how I could possibly complain about the taste of piss after having eaten shit. Do you want me to go into detail about how fucking stupid TBOBF was?

Sorry but that Warg reminded me so much of Ed from the Lion King that I was snickering.

i think the explanation is more mundane than garden variety sexism: Captain Marvel is, in my humble estimation, a mid-to-bad film that takes one of the most fun and live-wire actors of our age and wastes her by forcing her to play a flat amnesiac for three quarters of its runtime. when she finally gets a chance to…

I didn’t think so either - It’s a perfectly fine movie with some great bits. I and of itself, it’s good.

For the first 2/3 of Black Widow I thought it was a *really* strong movie. The final act really fell apart for me, but it was nowhere near the “travesty” some fans would have you believe.

The show is being made for people who loved the Peter Jackson films and people who love the books but are open minded enough to know a billion-dollar franchise can’t cater to their niche fantasies and expectations. The producers have already said they are not going to stick to the letter of Tolkien’s timeline because…

the fifth season, for instance, features 58-year-old Dominick West and 32-year-old Elizabeth Debicki as Prince Charles and Princess Di, respectively, which will likely place it somewhere in the mid-’80s

Dude . . . since Forest Gump, Hanks has been in Apollo 13, Toy Story, Saving Private Ryan, Castaway and Catch Me if You Can. 

The thing is, there are PARTS of the low speed chase that are, to me, some of the strongest parts of the movie. I know people got mad at Leia using the Force to fly back to the ship but I thought it was quite powerful. And Holdo smashing her ship through Snoke’s was breathtaking. I remember seeing that in the theater…

The like/not like this movie debate is exhausting. What the real take-away that could be discussed is how Kathleen Kennedy & Co have apparently promised future trilogies (kinda willy-nilly) to 4? 5? different filmmakers that were hot for a hot minute and then fizzled. D+ and The Mandalorian happened and focus shifted…

Yep. The Poe and Holdo stuff killed the momentum the rest of the film managed. I liked the rest of the film. I wish Carrie Fisher had been given Holdo’s screen time instead. That would have been a more interesting movie, and would have propped up the lagging part.

Standing by your work is one thing, trying to drag down other people’s work im defence of your own especially when that other work is The Empire Strikes Back is bang out of order, son.

Oh look, sometimes war and the people who sell weapons are morally grey. They even sell weapons to both sides, those bounders! Who would have thought it?

I liked parts, didn’t like other parts.

The amount of writing about this thing isn’t justified by the fairly bland movie. Good lord, wouldn’t it be neat to ACTUALLY get subversive, clever SF/fantasy.

TLJ was definitely the most interesting SW movie of the Disney era. But it’s a lot more interesting as a way to examine what kinds of things a big-budget franchise entry is expected to do, or capable of doing, than it is as a Star Wars movie, or even a fully coherent narrative. As much as I appreciate a lot of what…
