Old School New Mutant (of which this film is based on ) Sunspot powers were simply storing and converting solar energy into moderate super strength until the battery ran out....and nothing else. No healing powers, no protective “armor”, etc. For some reason, I remember multiple times where he’d be lifting up a car or…

“Movies, to calibrate an hour and a half, two hours is no joke, and it’s been a lot of fun, but it’s a real challenge.... To fill up all of that time without extended commercial breaks. It's like, you need to figure out how to tell a story that's longer than 20 minutes."

It was about the 3rd or 4 to episode in that I started getting really confused as to who was who because of the time jumping that I wasn’t aware of and thinking about bad casting of actors that look alike. Things like spending an episode with Yenifer making a big about who she was going to be a mage for, and then the…

That has to be the most Apple-y reason why I’ve heard to drop Netflix. How is it even possible to not have an electronic device hooked up to your TV that can’t access some version of Netflix? Video game systems,receivers and Blu-ray players come with it pre-installed and every USB streaming stick has access to it.

I was pretty big into the xMen and satellite books in the late 80s, and looking back, it’s remarkable how dense the Claremont stories are with text, thought bubbles and speech balloons....there was actually reading involved.

Nirmally, I’d agree with you, but the era of the New Mutants that this movie is based on is a decidedly less spandexy era (for the NM anyway). Granted they did wear a generalized costume, but the stories were much more internal struggles and less “going out to the save world in secret identities.”

Remember when Steve jobs promised FaceTime for all platforms? When is that actually happening? And really, apples history of coding all for other platforms is... Not so good. Itunes for Windows was a mess.

I think the biggest problem with apple TV is that they’ve done such a good job of marketing the Apple ecosystem as “only bundled for Apple devices” that they’ve already scared away anyone who doesn’t buy into that ecosystem, regardless of the content and quality of that content. Netflix, Disney, CBS, Hulu, Amazon…

Even implying that Jack Burton shows up in a Quiet Place movie would be pretty awesome.

How many people have a pair of moccasins laying around the house nowadays just in case they need to be stealthy?

Yeah, $15 million for a half hour episode is pretty insane. Especially when you look at the list of films that Blumhouse Production makes and their production costs:

The biggest thing that I remember about Romancing the Stone besides being a decent enough romantic adventure romp, is Danny Devito shooting a gun near the end of the movie that has the most generic I-just-pulled-this-off-of-any-old-royalty-free-sound-effect-library gun shot sound effect ever created. It sounds worse…

“I just watched you fly holes though a couple of starships, how can you fly through this battlefield with a bunch of nameless goons?"

The best trained Jedi can jump really high. Untrained force-sensitive people can fly through space while unconscious.

Actually, if you watch all the star wars movies in order, it’s pretty silly how Jedi powers substantially increase after the OT.... except for when they don’t for the purpose of the movie.

a heroic act by Jedi Master Luke Skywalker was set to inspire the rest of the galaxy to rise up

They used to be a great company, you know, the whole, “Don’t be evil” thing, but now they’re just an obtrusive Big Brother hell bent on selling your life to anyone willing to pay for it.

It’s weird to be complaining about the details of how the joker looks, and yet not care that he has a roughly 50/50 chance of taking down gods and characters like Wonder Woman and Superman in a simple back alley brawl.

If I have my continuity straight, doesn’t Baby Yoda have to die (or lose its power or something ) by the end of this series for The Force Awakens to make sense?

I’m not a football fan anyway. But even I can see that there are a number of pylons currently sitting in backup QB positions that are objectively shittier than he is, and still can’t find a spot.
