You're not disprove the readership dynamic. But thanks for trying. I don't think Pixar is anti-union, I think they're anti-communitarian which is definitely more visible.

Here is a simplified version: Not everybody can be an entrepreneur nor should we want them to be. When everybody wants to be their own boss and run the company we run out of workers. Instead we should cultivate interest in independent thought without throwing away the communitarian system we live in. If the…

After reading the article it basically agreed with what I thought the issue was. Pixar like any major media conglomerate is run by two sets of people: The suits who run the front office, make sure that the profit margins are healthy and they get to drive their Ferraris without worry and the imaginations who don't…

I've watched it again, TWE simply doesn't hold up as a story. He's shown a great panache for action comedies but his storytelling skills are semi-lackluster. Hot Fuzz is really his best work and that's a paint-by-numbers buddy cop film homage practically. I'm not in the Wright camp in general but there is a reason…

I'm excited, I still like the show. The best season was the second, but Coven and Freak Show were watchable. They just try to cram 18-20 episodes worth of material into 13.

The first few episodes felt like classic sketch comedy fodder, simply doing a premise to the extreme. When Forrest starting having complicated and continued impact from his affairs, the show went from good to great. The fact that the last episode made me want to thrash and cheer as it evolved past basic comedy into…

It's much rarely in practical terms for it to be seen in a dramatic setting. Almost every time a female dominatrix is introduced its done with a careful setup and usually a joking or comedic subtext to the argument. In maybe the last decade with CSI having a recurring character has it been viewed in any kind of…

That's always the fundamental issue with time travel as a whole, that changing time without changing the time actor is essentially entering a new universe or creating one where your actions took place. It begs the question of what is real and what is 'prime' then? Is it merely perspective based and since we're…

It makes a serious shift around episode 5 of the season, turning from a crappy comedy into a pretty good dramedy. You'll have to slog through the first few episodes unless you really love Will Arnett playing a cretin/GOB character.

I think it's just the cultural perception they portray. Silverman feels like she's from a wealthy upper-middle class white suburb and her delivery is always verging on child-like. Lampenelli is raunchy in a classic new york Italian way that we inherently accept as verging on offensive. It has advantages and…

I don't know, there is definitely something to be said about Jedis being inherently good. They never cross lines that the Sith do and they always operate without the goal of self advancement (even though this can be debated to the high heavens). It's unfair to call the Sith a rival religion as neither believes in…

As a test of power, the death star was designed to intimidate planets not actually cause wonton destruction, a clear parallel to the nuclear bomb and the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

It's still a key feature of the evilness of the Empire. Otherwise what did they really do that was truly terrible because kill off Jedis? Commerce continued as usual, people still lived, loved, and died. It's a weird moment when you realize that without them being fascists they're just a lazy empire with a creepy…

. . .Slow burn jokes aren't always bad. I guess it just tickled my fancy, sorry for not being a cynical douche bag, I'll try harder next time.

Being in my 20s when most of these movies came about and thankfully that last of my generation to avoid getting swallowed up in the gold rush towards YA writing I've got a certain distance to them that probably isn't helpful. For the most part they all seem to suffer from thoughtful writing turned into poor action…

This is an episode that feels dated not just because of the twin towers but simply because that 1970's verge of collapse society simply doesn't exist anymore. The precipitous drop in crime, a cleaned up city, and the corporatization of most areas simply made NYC another clean megalopolis. I watched the same thing…

I was going to say I saw this enter the rotation around 2005/6 again? It wasn't terribly long because the affiliates around here had such a long rotation that it only came up once a year if that. The towers are so essential I don't think there is much to cut in a practical sense.

Since I saw the original trailer I've been confused on if it's set in 2015 or 1992. I mean everybody (including secondary characters) look, dress, and act like 1992 but they have smart phones, discuss MDMA, and the name of the film is Dope, a term drug culture hasn't used in 2 decades. I feel like the movie…

Mark Ruffalo has grown into an actor I can atleast tolerate. Before he was just a walking, talking snore. For some reason in the Avengers he really sells himself as Bruce Banner though I still want Edward Norton back simply because he was infinitely more believable as a guy with real anger issues than Ruffalo who…

I've been a fan of the show since it first came on the air, a welcome diversion from writing and teaching. The show in the past season has really evolved from something meant for early teenagers to something practically meant for adults. The fact that Finn has been allowed to age (they reset PB's age a few seasons…
