The insane thing about Gab was that he did that every damn time.  It was like watching god on the mic.  Nobody else even came close.

Aw goddamnit, this one hurts. Blazing Arrow basically lived full time in my CD player (remember those) for most of 2003 and 2004, and I always said it was the one thing keeping me sane during NYC’s post-9/11 plague years.

Wait that was FFF in the trailer?!!!

I think (hope) that Mr. Dean above was just being snarky. Sophia Stewart wrote neither the Matrix nor the Terminator movies. (Her claim to the latter is especially hilarious since Harlan Ellison also sued Cameron and Carolco for infringement and got a settlement out of them.)

It’s honestly the thing I love most about classically trained British theater actors. They love the craft, but it’s also a job and they’re very up front about it. If you want Patrick Stewart, or Michael Caine, Ben Kingsley, John Gielgud or Derek Jacobi to show up on your terrible, shitty scifi/action/monster movie and…

That show was the living incarnation of “this’ll do.”

“Gugu Mbatha-Raw’s firm but reasonable Ravonna Renslayer”

The strength of this show so far is that it’s leaning heavily on the fact that Hiddleston is by far the strongest actor of all of the various MCU leads.

Classics twitter is losing its mind over that scene.  Apparently I was today years old when I learned that Tom Hiddleston graduated from Oxford with a classics degree, so while the speech was translated into Latin by the show’s languages staff, he apparently (I mean, in the eyes of people who speak and read Latin…

There was a throwaway line in E1 about “the criminal with the Blue Box” that was diegetically talking about Loki and the Tesseract, but which I assume was 100% a shout-out to the show’s obvious inspiration.

Patrick Stewart was in Lifeforce!

It would be even better if that plot weren’t baldly a rehash of the 2004 Battlestar Galactica reboot...

Okay, this is hitting me in a deeply 90s place.  I’m not proud, but it’s enjoyable.

I really feel like I should not have to explain a bone-obvious joke, but since now two people in a row seem to think that I’m somehow dragging Japan here: what I’m asking is when Hollywood is going to get over its post-9/11 fetish for blowing up New York City or transparent analogues thereof. Because as someone who…

At last, the long-delayed sequel to Freefall 3050 A.D. that nearly a dozen people have been waiting for!

I liked the movie better when it was called Cloverfield, and I fucking hated Cloverfield. I liked this movie a lot better when it was called Starship Troopers.

I tend to think of Homicide as one of the big transitional fossils of modern-day serialized Prestige TV. Most of the elements of a bang-up series were there, and the original cast was amazing, but as a species it’d only evolved to the point where it could walk on land for, like, 15 minutes at a time.

DeTECTive Munch.

I’m always happy to see her in anything: San Junipero should have made her into a much bigger name than she is, and it’s a pity that A Wrinkle in Time was such a hot mess.

Yeah, I think people seriously don’t understand that if you’re a popular actor in Hollywood, unless you’ve gone down the increasingly rare path of the “funny-looking character actor”, your body is your job, and you will spend a full-time job’s worth of time (or more) on maintaining it.  It’s a weird living, but it’s a…
