I was trying to buy the 3rd Transmetropolitan trade and the proprietor (who had been there a few years) and is still in town (though now at a different location) had never heard of it.
It wasn't like it was a new title, with an unknown author and publisher.
I'm still dumfounded.

who the hell are you to tell me what to do? shut the hell up.

he said "franchises". T2 was hardly a sleeper. He means Trancers, Death Wish, Chucky, Critters, Tremors…

angry and defensive? just obviously where the show's going to go. where else can it? you need to calm down.

You'd have to talk to guy who wrote the article.

Yeah, because kidnapping his friends and family and putting guns to their heads, or looking for the tech that created him in the first place and using it yourself aren't viable options.
Oh wait, they totally are.

"Luke Cage premieres November 30 on Netflix."
it says SEPTEMBER dumbass. a month and a half, not 3 months away.

"She's what I imagine a potato would be if it were sentient…"
An analogy that just gets more stupid the more you think about it. This sentence is already giving me a fucking headache for several different reasons.
"…and had trained with Strasberg."
And then a name-drop to *really* show you're an intellectual.
When,…

"Ronson may be feeling twinges of guilt at his part in helping to create a monster."
Yep, he must be feeling pretty culpable right now.
Wait..
No, that's actually a really stupid thing to say.

I've heard tell of it but it doesn't seem like my mind of thing. I think we're doing just fine the way things are.
Are you a communist?

This. A million times this.

No, a "damsel" isn't just another word for woman.
"noun, Literary.
1. a young woman or girl; a maiden, originally one of gentle or noble birth."

Men, largely, stay out of women's knitting groups and bake-sales and the like, so women (in the interest of fairness) shouldn't be meddling with our films. The same horrible, onward creeping, feminist agenda is even seeping into videogames. It doesn't stop! They want to be everywhere, all the time! You have your…

That argument doesn't hold-up. If they just had someone translate the shortened version of Seven Samurai and then just reformatted the transcript into film-script form - you'd get what you're suggesting.
But they were screenwriters writing their own version. It's a simpler beast purely because it was designed to play…

They both were. I went to university in a real university town (there were 2 of them) as well as numerous types of colleges, a film-school, a music school - so it was a rare place that could support a fantastic art-house cinema. I spent so much time in there that the staff got to know me and had a good idea what…

I'd seen and loved both films a number of times previous to that occasion, but it didn't help that the BFI had accidently sent the cinema the rarely seen (and not to be removed from the archive) extended cut of Samurai - which meant the cinema manager had to get up on the stage beforehand and explain we were all going…

"Kurosawa actually loved it, apparently."
He loved the fact there was a Hollywood remake, certainly, but if you read the actual quote…

The Magnificent Seven is a great film, but I once made the mistake of going to see a double-bill of it and Seven Samurai. Immediately after watching Seven Samurai the remake seemed anything but magnificent.
So never do that.

Can we have a critic who understands the show, please?

this site has really gone downhill in the last couple of months. I know Teti is stupidly busy now, but he needs to deal with this quick. they have to be leaking audience - there's been a real drop in quality writing and subject matter.
sort it out, John.
