Does the "Dark Crystal or Labyrinth" conversation really come up that much?

A lot of my love for Dark Crystal is a result of nostalgia. It was one of my favorites as a kid that I'd rewatch over and over. I found it captivating.

It's that alien-ness that makes it such a uniquely interesting movie.

Good for him, this trend is culturally embarrassing. How about we come up with our own stories and imagery.

Focusing on the "Englishness" of this is ignoring England's regional differences a little bit. Much of Grimsby's humor comes from stereotypes of the Northern English specifically. Cohen himself is from London, so it's a bit like someone from New York making a movie about those stupid-but-lovable Alabama folks with…

This mythology shit is just a fad.

This seems to be from the Malcolm Gladwell school of a journalist finding studies to dress up with their own ad hoc speculation, and then presenting the speculation and the science as having the same authority.

All of them not called Be Right Back?

This was before everyone started telling Snyder that he's a *visual stylist* and *visionary*. Even his negative reviews will often claim that he's a great visual director. But he isn't. He has no idea how to tell a story visually, which is why Dawn of the Dead is still his best.

No doubt Seth Rogen is the best voice actor in the world if you want a character to sound exactly like Seth Rogen.

I think the American left found its comfort zone a long time ago. There's a reason that one of the defining anti-war images to come out of a Vietnam war movie is some made up story about Americans being forced to play Russian Roulette, and not the crying and defenseless being gunned down at My Lai.

Noah Hawley himself has said in interviews that many of the tangents of Fargo mean basically nothing. This comes from a misunderstanding of the Mike Yanagita scene in the original movie, that it serves no purpose except to not serve a purpose.

I don't fully understand the voices complaint either (or at least I don't care that I'm not able to tell them apart), but how is the tone and feel of a television show a minor issue? There's a reason that people are also praising the reboot by saying that it "feels" so much like the MST3K we know, not just in…

I've never exactly loved the host segments but, eh, I'm not going to play the nostalgia card on people who do. And "atrocious" is a bit much.

I'll go out on a limb and say that Cry Wilderness was also a better movie than Reptilicus.

ToS and TNG often tokenize their minority characters and have a real paternalistic streak when it comes to depicting racial others like the Ferengi and Klingons. They're shows about a "colorblind" future wherein most of the authority figures are still white and male, centered around a benign colonalist fantasy steeped…

This doesn't look like the worse thing ever, but it also doesn't look good enough for me to second guess my hope that it fails miserably.

Calling it "sexy times" might.

"Normal" bodies, right.

Yes, when you see a white man and Asian woman with two kids who seem to take after both, it's best to play it safe and assume she's the nanny. Good call.
