I'm really looking forward to reading all about Star Trek: Discovery under the "Cancelled Projects" section of Memory Alpha in a few years.

This type of explanation infuriates me. If it's the "plot" then it's not a "spoiler." Star Wars: The Force Awakens is about a woman wrapped up in a plot that involves Luke Skywalker. The twist is a plot. "Fight Club is about a counter-culture movement started under the pretense of a Fight Club." The Twist is "two of…

Marvel movies have a terrible track record involving people of color and women. it's difficult to call them on their real issues (for some reason) but every once in a while, someone asks about what's going on and the discussion gets shut down pretty quickly. (again… for some reason)

Fantastic Show. Fantastic Finale… bringing back all the characters. I wish we'd gotten a little more with CJ and Margret (not that Mordecai had to pick either… but I wish we had gotten more). But wow. That's how you do a finale.

Michelle Obama is the First Lady of the United States of America who's legacy was to encourage kids to work out and eat right.

In fairness, Three Doors Down can probably use the work.

But you see, they're monsters that control trucks. MONSTERS THAT COn… yeah we get this crap but just the one "Serenity."

it turns out Man is the real monster truck

I did an analytical paper for a Graduate Level Folklore Class where I argued that Billy Joel was a modern Folk Singer in the way he catalogued the blue collar American Experience. Studying his work for weeks gave me a newfound appreciation of it, especially Captain jack, which ranked among my least favorites until I…

The problem with Marvel right now is the movies… they're either putting characters into prominent positions because of their upcoming movies (Captain Marvel, GotG) which is fine, Superman certainly didn't suffer from appearances when Man of Steel is coming out, or changing around certain characters based on actor's…

Did she know guac was extra?

i thought we in Generation X felt neither highs nor lows.

This month we're getting a sequel to Triple X, Underworld, and Resident Evil.

God, i hope they're directed by Zack Snyder and star Seth McFarlane. Not being able to review it might make you guys literally explode.

Guys, guys, guys… they can't put Wonder Woman on this list. They can't look forward to a female superhero. She might menstruate all over the bad guys, and no one wants to see that.

I might recommend a few more.

This. 100%. I like that superhero movies get easily singled out as "let's have a cap on them", but we get a lot of repeat movies every year. I still remember that 2015 had a lot of spy movies, all with the same "there's a mole!" twist. (Including Mission Impossible, which may be the least secure organization in the…

Fuck 2016. Just… fuck it. I have hated this year, and it ended in an nervous breakdown for me. I've had nothing but set backs in my career, my life. This year has been pushing so hard against me I don't know what else to do. I'm just so tired.

Had me until American Honey. Plotless (not light on plot) with character motivations that make zero sense. Sorry that was a horrible, horrible movie. Beautifully shot, which I think is confusing a lot of people, and it tried to have a great message. But still… characters vanished, quirks were added "for quirk… nothing…

Quick fact check: Shakespeare was not the only writer writing in the Elizabethan era. A LOT of plays came out then, we know about Shakespeare because he was popular. Because his stuff sold. Because he was talented, yes, but he was also a formulaic writer who copied jokes, themes, and whatever else he could. But the…
