Belatedly, while you obviously couldn't call any of Laika's productions cheap, they're relatively low-budgeted compared to other contemporary animated features. Per IMDB, Kubo's budget was $60M, which is an insane amount of money objectively but somehow still less than half of the $125M that DreamWorks somehow spent…

The website-formely-known-as-rapgenius actually has you pretty well covered there:

So, nu, answer the important question: was he a dick?

"System Shock mixed with Alien:Isolation" sounds like the plantonic ideal of a game that I'd want to play.

CA:TWS is really the only Marvel film that I'd strongly argue deserves to be considered in this column. The Russo brothers get action choreography in a way that basically nobody else in the Marvel house does. That movie had multiple hand-to-hand fights that would have been the highlight of any other action film, not…

If we're judging Jackie Chan scenes strictly by fight scene quality, I'll assert strongly that the otherwise completely uninteresting "Thunderbolt" is quite possibly his best, just on the grounds of that insane fight in the pachinko parlour.

This… this works astonishingly well. I agree: it is now canon.

"The Chronicles of Riddick" is like a goddamn master class in how to waste audience good-will and almost perversely misunderstand what was appealing about the original when making a sequel.

Also while Pitch Black was obviously the movie that catapulted Vin Diesel into something approximating stardom, let's take a moment to remember Claudia Black, who absolutely deserved a better career than she actually got.

And Japan gave us Versus, a low-budget indie film about floppy-haired yakuza fighting vampires in an enchanted forest.

am about halfway through Luke Cage

It's not like they're trying to keep an exacting chronology going, but it's canon that all of the Netflix shows happened after the first Avengers movie, and "Civil War" established that Peter Parker had been doing street-level engagements for long enough that Tony Stark had not only taken notice but put some effort…

Okay, assuming that I'll probably watch this all the way through because Sigourney Weaver…

Back in the day, Nickelodeon had a "behind the movies" show called "Standby, Lights, Camera, Action!" that was hosted by Leonard Nimoy. When I was 7 years old, they had an episode that was all about the making of The Thing.

Kerning: it's really important.

Since we're clearly never going to get a proper High Kirby Fantastic Four movie, GotG is gonna have to do.

Fully half the supreme court is well over the average lifespan of a person in their demographic. I expect Trump to get minimally three, possibly four SCOTUS appointments.

A++ trolling, well done.

This. Also pissing off a room full of firefighters carries the nonzero risk that they will lose their cool and promptly beat the tar out of you. (And in this case no New York jury would have convicted them.) Sending your nutbag followers to harass a bunch of grieving parents from the comfort of your air conditioned…

I rate the odds of Barr actually being able to hold it together for this as exactly zero. Which is a pity, because Rosanne really was pretty awesome.
