I think that's part of why he said what he did. And to be fair, NONE of the successful Star Trek movies were very thinky.

The Avengers movies are like that Sam Johnson quote about the dog walking on its hind legs. It's not that their that good, it's that you can appreciate the raw artistry of making it at all.

E raised to the power of pi*i!

I love that Charlie Booker is now the defender of the highbrow. Also, if they ever do a gritty reboot of the Smurfs I hope he lets them use that title!

"And there should be genuine concern that they are squeezing more thoughtful, less interesting work out of cinemas."

Hulk's a great example with Ang Lee trying to make a more "adult" version of the hero exploring child abuse and burning internal anger. We all know how that went.

A Stark child would make him an indispensable link, if his father deligitimizes him then the child will also no longer be Bolton. Ramsay prefers to rule by fear, but as long as Roose is around he knows what he has to do.

I really don't like the "Team Adnan" and "Team Jay" labels when we're talking about a real life story that left a young women dead and a young man locked up, potentially for life. I mean, I love being on teams when watching Jane the Virgin but it just seems wrong here.

Brave was fine… what if it's a Cars 2? Or A Bug's Life?

I'd recommend Memory, Sorrow and Thorn (also very grounded in Medieval history), the Black Company (basically invented modern dark fantasy and you'll see its fingerprints on ASOIF) and the Bas-Lag novels of China Mieville because they are freaking awesome.

I liked the whole lead up to him being Mr. Hyde, but after the hand it felt like a huge let down. "Well we could just shoot him." "Nah, it's not like he does much damage, let's run away." Okay, the "There goes the feeling in my legs" line was pretty good.

Mr. Hyde was cringeworthy, but the rest of the episode did feel way too overstuffed. An episode this dense needs to be handled with a bit more care. I'm kinda hoping that the Mr. Hyde transformation was not complete and that somehow his altered metabolism will be set off despite being Tahitised.

David Lynch was dead on about McLachlan, he's got this innate guilelessness that makes him perfect for sympathetic weirdos.

I was thinking of that scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail when the army is massing as I read your comment.

1) Seriously, someone needs to sit SHIELD down and just say "Tactics. You guys need to learn tactics. Also, didn't you guys have cloaking technology or something?

I dare you to actually binge watch the series on network time instead of the lame Netflix way with breaks.

We all know ancient Chinese inhumans speak with American accents.

I'm sorry, but a film prof calling Spielberg a hack just sounds like a parody of a film prof.

Yeah that's the thing. There's way too much "I'm surrounded and under lock and key, but now lets have 30 seconds of kung fu!" on this show. Seriously, they need to check their prisoner transfer protocols.

I generally think everything could benefit from more Kyle McLachlan, but Last Man on Earth seems pretty inspired. A big part of the problem of that show for me was that after Phil and Carol everyone seemed to normal and well adjusted when the initial episodes thrived on the power of crazy. And no one does crazy like…
