Looks like a trailer made of clips for a dozen other played out, not scary ‘horror’ movies. Yawn.

This looks good, sure. But if there was a King-based movie due for a reboot, Pet Sematary is not the one. The original is near perfect. This can, at best, be different ... not better. So why bother? Maybe Cujo, Salem’s Lot ... hell, even The Running Man. I don’t know.  I don’t get it.  

Gah, I was all excited about this until I saw Jason Clarke. I don’t understand how he keeps getting cast in stuff. He’s so bland. He’s like human toast.

This is a remarkably inept and dumbass blog post ending with the profoundly lame:

There are a bunch of comedians that think the same thing, not just Seinfeld & Chris Rock:

By 2015, Rock and Seinfeld were long past the point of drawing more money for an appearance than a college would want to pay, but they were allegedly still playing those colleges enough to decide they weren’t fun anymore. They were playing those shows because they wanted to, not because they had to. The “PC talk” is

I’m with Norm, I don’t automatically trust everything women say. Or men for that matter. Or those who don’t identify as either. Or those who identify as both. Or religious people. Or atheists. Anyone really.

Interesting that some people are reading your comment as an excuse. It clearly isn’t. It is illustrating the reality that subjectivity will drive a person’s actions. Evil requires that there is a higher order of morality, and that is a totally different conversation altogether. Throw a couple lenses on top of a

We have legalized slavery today (prison labor). Most people don’t consider it evil to make (some people) work for no pay as long as they consider the person deserving of that fate. Whether it was for committing a crime or being born ‘lesser.’

What is the excuse exactly? I’m simply bothered by notion of absolute morality. It doesn’t exist.

Everyone knew slavery was evil. Everyone knew Jim Crow was evil.

I was surprised that I didn’t hate Discovery but I really feel it’s Star Trek in name only. It’s somehow manages to get a visual style that manages to look nothing like Enterprise, TOS or the Kelvin timeline movies. The Klingons really should have just been some new alien race. They didn’t want to make them look

IF YOU DIDN’T LIKE THE SAME MOVIE I DID YOU’RE A NECKBEARD

The irony is that the film is about the pitfalls of angry people needing to put their anger elsewhere, and how displacing anger onto other people or situations will only reap more anger in re-turn.

Yeah, I think years from now, this will be the Star Trek show that gets a fair deal of critical re-evaluation in its favor. One of the big criticisms about Trek TV in the 90s was how similar and stale Trek has become. Now comes a Trek series with some issues but “stale and safe” aren’t among them. You can never make

Greetings and salutations. So, Heathers is one of my all time fave movies and I have very strong feelings about this show. Everyone involved clearly had brain tumors for breakfast. What is their damage? To distill the intention of the original material thru a 2018 POV is sooo not very. Only pillowcases would think

Actually, there are three Federation ships named Defiant in the Star Trek universe, one of which is a Constitution-class vessel that made its way to the mirror universe in The Tholian Web. It also featured in the (sigh) Star Trek: Enterprise foray to the mirrorverse.

  • The only U.S.S. Defiant in Trek history is the one from Deep Space Nine, which doesn’t fit the timeline.

This is why people wanted an explanation for Snoke. If you’re going to have the hard fought peace of the original trilogy crumble to dust thirty years later you should probably have a better explanation than “yeah, some other evil dude came along, I guess.”
