“Literally every single thing they complain about humans doing they do.”

It’s funny that a woman who has done business, diplomacy and combat while wearing exclusively lingerie since 1980 can be embarassed by anything!

Nope. No. Nuh-uh. My pasta should be carefully shaped prior to cooking. The shaping affects the taste and texture. Going from flat to shaped within the boilng water skips a step and will sacrifice quality.

Hey, Austin Powers and Dr. Evil were brothers...

I like things that connect the various series and create unity for the Star Trek universe.

I do wish they’d retcon some of the godlike TOS characters officially into the Continuum. I like adding Trelane and maybe the beings who acted to end the Federation/Klingon conflict.

Aside from Godzilla digging a hole to China, I can’t think of much that worked in this movie.

Yes, he’s a SERIOUS ACTOR. He’s done... LA Law!

Sure. But everybody in Star Trek is just a copy of what they once were because of the transporters...

Q could, with a thought, restore him to a healthy organic body.

This explains his embrace of the dark side.

Heck, this has been the Lucas way since day... well... two. Vader wasn’t Luke’s dad and Leia wasn’t Luke’s sister until George realized he had a hit and could make a trilogy.

When people want to like something (and this isn’t a criticism) they will find a way.

Worked for Douglas Adams!

Yeah, a few years ago, Snyder and his fans were basically villains around here — unreasonable online activists who wanted to send the DC cinematic universe In a dark and turgid direction.

Are we going to deal with or memory hole IO9's adamant insistence that the Snyder cut never be made?

I’d stick up for auteur theory’s place in how we view art, not as an excuse for cruelty. First, I obviously accept that no art, not even a painting created by a single artist In a basement exists without context or reaches people without others. Somewhere, a gallerist chose this over that and a critic or two agreed, an…

We’re actually far more forgiving of cruel business people because we give them the cover “It’s just business.” That Jeff Bezos and Sheryl Sandberg might be cruel, self-interested and manipulative people doesn’t seem to bother us much as their victims are generally considered the collateral damage of capitalist…

Nah, I took no offence. I see your point. I just mean I’m likely to watch the big, new WB movies that would have been theatrical releases in better times. There won’t be so many of those, but maybe I should save up my free hours for the Snyder cut, now that I think about it. That’s going to be a commitment.
