No spoilers, but for me this was rightly shelved. It’s pretty obvious what the original film was, and what was added in later, and unfortunately the new stuff didn’t do anything to make the original story less nonsensical. If anything, the hamfisted callback to another movie made both movies worse.

Why would Trump want that? He already has like 3 of these, right?

Our president is a punchline to a joke that we all laughed at 3 years ago. I’m starting to think none of us is smart enough for democracy.

I think we need to investigate the non-Jews on the list. They may be part of some other, even more dangerous, long-persecuted minority and we wouldn’t want to be caught off guard. They could be planning even more deadly Twitter attacks while we focus on the Jews.

I paid some guy $20 and a stale doughnut for Kinja followers. I feel dirty and weird, but at least the people that don’t read my comments now think that other people do. And you really can’t put a price on that.

Too bad Jordan’s portrayal of women wouldn’t make the cut. Seeing the reactions to that would be glorious.

Once a series shows up on the best seller list, you’re gonna get hop-ons. People are creatures of habit.

You might think, considering the series has gone on as long as it has. Book 30 comes out this year, so there’s a handful out there still diving into the pond.

To most people, the news is “The Shannara Chronicles wasn’t cancelled before?”

I think you’re stating a fact.

So it dances, has creepy eyes, and pretends to have sex with women. They’ve invented Michael Jackson!

Unfortunately, Ridley Scott also disagrees with Star Wars’ directorial choices, which via circular logic explains why it’s not.

Also, a much cheaper movie date.

I agree, it seems like a massive oversight. Well written, with really fun characters and complex themes. I’m not easy to please, and most times when I think I have them dead to rights on some error in continuity or logic, it turns out they were 2 steps ahead of me. We are on the last S2 episode tonight...so don’t…

When it comes to marriage, the time for compromise is before decisions are made and actions are taken. This occurred because one or the other (or both) refused to compromise, so at issue is their ability to resolve problems, which is sure to come up again.  At this point, the compromise will either be “I’ll have to…

It’s one hell of a manifesto.

I’ve gone to some test screenings before. They invite a mass of people on a list, and (at least at the ones I went to) many hundreds of people show up because it’s a free night at the movies. Some of them were probably ready to think critically and make an accurate assessment, but a whole lot were not. Like, so many…

“What do we do with her?”

You’d think so, but it’s not that simple. The Expanse is rumored to cost nearly what Game of Thrones does, or about 8x the budget of Z. Even with “highest rated”, it’s by SYFY standards - which gets them about 600k viewers on average (GoT averages 10MM). It’s been widely rumored that NBCU renewed in hopes of wider…

And about what HBO spends on Game of Thrones. Of course Netflix doesn’t share view data, or their criteria for renewing series. However since they’ve nixed two very expensive shows that didn’t make the water cooler, one has to assume that’s a requirement.
