Easy to see a pattern when you create it. Or have you forgotten the discourse around:

I mostly agree with these suggestions. But I can’t buy the criticism of the childbirth scenes. The same negative reaction seems to arise whenever graphic violence is visited on women in the Game of Thrones universe, whether it be sexual assaults or the stabbing of the pregnant Talia Stark. I share some of the shocked…

The only thing more fan-servicey would be one of the characters suggesting they call his Aunt Ellen.

Scott is so hit or miss that his endorsement is extra meaningless. 

This is literally all anyone has ever asked. And I take it to reflect that Maya Hawke is confident enough as an actress and artist and comfortable enough in her career to know she’s going to be weighed favorably on her merits against her advantages and it doesn’t make her less if someone else got screwed over it. To…

The “maybe they’re just crazy in a room somewhere” trope has to be one of my least favourite lazy fan theories. It’s almost never based on anything actually present in the text - because it doesn’t need to be; if the protagonist is crazy everything is unreliable - and it usually adds nothing to the story thematically.

I understand studios investing in recognizable names even when the movies themselves don’t make much money at the box office. The money is in merchandise. What I don’t get is why they keep pumping this much money into producing them. They should shrink the budgets and focus on making the story good, and then dump as…

FX Shogun is uniquely situated to pull off more seasons. The “source material” is real life historic events and people and there’s much more to tell about Ieyasu Tokugawa and William Adams’ lives and early Edo Japan successfully resisting colonization. The first series made homage to James Clavell’s inventions, mainly…

I discovered this show 3 months ago and binged everything in 2 weeks, something that never happens to me. Really great, fun, intelligent and weird. I think season 1 was the best because it was the most ambiguous, after that I don’t think there is a lot of ambiguity regarding the reality or not of the supernatural…

Yeah, the allegations that he’s choosing to use an old school/analogue way of making a film rather than a quicker digital shortcut...is that supposed to upset me?

With regards the kissing - if people say it was inappropriate, I’ll believe them.

I’d like to see more musicals get the Hamilton treatment: just film the stage show. No need to moviefy it.  Give some thought to the camerawork to keep it from being static, but just let the stage players do their thing.

While some on Twitter/X speculated that Taylor-Joy could be hinting that director George Miller was creepy or inappropriate in some way, she was very effusive toward him in the interview.

For an Academy that has considered adding a popularity award in order to appeal more to “normal” audiences, an excuse to feature five of the most thrilling sequences of the year feels like it should be a slam dunk.

“What happened to Gadd was awful. The fact that people took his story and immediately turned it into an exploitative media sensation is awful.“

It’s just so weird. I understand that the ad is supposed to mean “look, we compressed all these things into an iPad” but that’s just not what it actually says at all. It solely reads as: “look, we’re violently destroying at least one thing you have a strong emotional connection to; now give us a thousand dollars.”…

You know that Justified quote everyone’s fond of using? “If you meet an asshole once, well, you met an asshole, but if everyone you meet is an asshole then you’re the asshole”?

I feel like I’m the only fan who thought the original Russell T. Davies run was really overrated, and was shocked at the emergence of anti-Stephen Moffat rhetoric in recent years. Moffat has his flaws, and after series 6, the show became kind of rudderless, and too many episodes ended with Matt Smith saving the day…

I don’t think Rule 34 is specific to stuff from media. I always understood the idea was that for *anything* that exists, there’s porn. Like, Rule 34 could apply to staplers.
