Bad or not (and it does sound bad), the 'Chris Carter is a terrible writer' notion that has been so prevalent in the comments over recent weeks is complete and utter nonsense and historically untrue within the show's original run. Carter is the epitome of a hit and miss writer, don't get me wrong, he's written some…

I was reading some poetry from Neruda the other day, and man, what a great poet, even his more socio-politically themed poems are often powerful and well written…I mean, his politics were absolutely awful mind you, he was totally clueless and supported a dictator or two (in other words, far far worse than Megadeth),…

One of my fave all-time shows, and he was an essential part of it in those first 3 seasons. Rest in Peace, fine sir.

"That’s a great way of putting it. I almost did a tweet the other day, like, “How do you watch It’s A Wonderful Life if you’re a Republican? Who are you rooting for?” It’s really true. Like, Stewart’s a whining liberal."

It sucks that I just can't get even remotely excited for this. I don't know what it is really, equal parts not being a fan of the cast, not being a fan of Dan Harmon's or some of the other guest writers' writing, the lack of Joel or Mike as host, my general cynicism about all that is good in the world, or a…

What a painfully, painfully stupid response that seemed to totally miss the point. Better luck next time.

When I saw the headline of the article, I thought that this finally might be a time where a bunch of the writers actually talk about some classic literature or significant books. Alas, there's a couple, but I remain disappointed.

It's already been mostly covered by other commenters, but what an absolutely terrible article. A hacky, snarky, ill-thought out argument and written in such a amateurish way.

Singin' in the Rain:

“look at two films and say: ‘Let’s go and see the F-rated one because that supports women in film’.”

I just can't take seriously anyone who puts Revenge of the Sith above Return of the Jedi (even with some of Jedi's flaws)…I can't be bothered detailing once again my issues with the prequels in too much depth, which I've already done on the other feature earlier in the week, but RotS is the epitome of everything wrong…

Also, I have to laugh at the completely snide, smug and reductive summation of RLM's reviews by Jesse in his article…whilst complaining about how he finds RLM snide, smug and reductive. Actually, beyond that, it's just exceptionally poor writing, not only do you attack them with a straw men (they actually go into a…

Yes they do. They fail miserably on a filmmaking level - the directing is flat, uninspired and lazy, the world is sterile, lifeless and dull on a visual level, the characters are also flat, ill-thought out, poorly-developed and some are just painfully stupid. The pacing is a joke, Lucas completely and utterly…

"The second book gets into the nitty-gritty of what, exactly, is the proletariat, and why we should oppose the exploitative capitalist system in favor of something much more socialist."

“I wish the MPAA would just be honest and stick a label on my movies saying: ‘This movie contains dangerous ideas that the 99% may find upsetting and lead them to revolt.’

Kubrick's 'The Shining' is a masterpiece of directing, cinematography, sound design, editing, tone and I'd personally say acting as well. It's a great film, and a fine example of the quality of the medium.

Big difference between tv directing and film directing.

A cheap, pandering, totally unnecessary remake from a crummy director received a whole bunch of backlash?

Man, I remember the good old days when HBO ordered projects from talented people.

ugh, this is really awful :(
"It's probably too late to help me" …what a horrible thing to have to come to terms with.
