Just please don’t be a direct prequel or focus on Aragorn or anything. We’ve seen LOTR and it was done flawlessly. It just seems to lazy to set it so close to the movies/books and with characters we know—there are thousands and thousands of years of history in Middle Earth, including stories that are sadder, bigger,…

It’s not a deal-breaking bug for me ... but the overworld music in FFIX is one of my favorite videogame tracks ever, so this is especially annoying.

And the sad thing is ... FFIX is one of their better modern-day ports. It’s mostly bug free, the fonts are ugly but not sinfully so, and they did do a decent job of upgrading the graphics without losing too much of the original’s charm.

Even at the time, as a young gay boy in love with Helen Hunt, a sucker for rom-coms, and attracted to how Gibson looked about 10 years before this movie ... something about this movie just made me feel ... icky. Gibson was beginning to look a bit ... gross. Most of the women characters were horribly treated by him and…

Oh my god I was doing it without even realizing it.

This really only draws attention to it—he should have just kept his mouth shut. A lot of churches say they “accept everyone regardless of orientation etc.,” but what they do in practice or how the community feels is very different. “Put clearly, we do not affirm a gay lifestyle and because of this we do not knowingly…

Yes! I am LOVING this show. It also had one of the best pilots I’ve ever seen. Most of my favorite shows had mediocre-to-shitty first episodes, so kudos for nailing it right off the bat.

Look, it’s certainly possible that I just distrust Christianity/Christians from growing up gay within that world and that’s infecting my judgment ... but something about him just seriously turns me off these days. He’s just ... kinda icky. Someone compared it to Tom Cruise/Scientology and it does feel similar.

Can this help herald a return to shows with somewhat standalone episodes in general?? I love a season-long plot, and some shows do benefit from it, but not every show needs to be a 10-15 hour movie with arbitary cuts marking the end of one episode and the beginning of another. I’d love to see a Star Trek like this…

Trailer looks ... fine, I guess, so I’ll reserve judgment. I’m surprised at how anti-reboot some people are about this—I had no idea the many terrible sequels had such a cult following. I’m glad they’re at least continuing that for those people’s sake, but I’m MUCH more open to the idea of a decent reboot.

My main impression of him is from Big Fish, which so easily could have (and often did) leaned a bit too hard into the saccharine if it wasn’t for Finney and others just being good enough to pull it off. Now I’ll have to go check out his earlier work.

SMILF! That and some other show with a dick-based title on Netflix were the other shows I just couldn’t think of at the time.

While this ranks up there with Cougar Town and a few others as shows with names so bad they almost completely turn me off without even giving them a chance ... I might give it a shot based on this review and knowing some of the writers on the show and their past work. The comparison to Strangers with Candy alone has…

Holy shit I barely recognized him! Looks like he’s lost a lot of weight. Also he’s ridiculously hilarious.

The nicest thing I can say about it: It’s nice to remind the world that Danny DeVito can do more than Frank from IASIP (not that I’m dragging that character/show) and it’s nice to see Michael Keaton’s continued resurgence. He’s such an interesting presence, even in a shitty looking movie like this.

Pre-ordered this an hour ago after seeing your other story about it and reading the first few sentences of a couple reviews that all said basically the same thing: Read this book. I can’t wait.

I’m SO excited for this—especially his return to a more modern day crime type movie (at least more modern day than his last few movies).  

There are arguments to be made about the movie’s high points, or interesting takes, but the one thing you can’t really claim is that it’s a the best live-action iteration of Superman ... because Superman himself is an empty void. Whatever Snyder set out to create with the movie, whether it was a complete inversion of…

Yeeaaahh this is one of the rare times I’m going to disagree with you and Leslie Jones, whom I love. The movie was mediocre, didn’t make a huge profit, and even as someone who wanted it to be good... it just wasn’t what I wanted. I was happy to get anything I guess, but I really wanted a sequel, not a reboot. I wanted…

This looks ... ok. I’m still super excited because Homecoming was great and I loved pretty much every character/casting decision, so being able to just spend time with them is great, but looking past all that it just looks ... ok. We’ll see.
