I disagree totally on Thor: Ragnarok. While most of the movie does have a very fun, lighthearted tone, the deaths of the Warriors Three are probably the most brutal and graphic pieces of violence in the entire MCU. We left the theatre and really wanted to take our kid to see it but decided against it for that reason.

“Jenny Calendar died because she was part of a ancient struggle against vampires”

That’s completely incorrect. Joyce had already died by the time Tara did (she died a whole season earlier, in fact), Buffy had also already died by the time Tara did, and Cordelia had already left the show (to join Angel, where she also eventually died).

I believe Amber has said that she was invited back for that episode, but she declined to do it because she didn't want her character to return just to cause Willow more pain.

“It’s a prime example of a TV show killing off a gay character’s love interest for no reason other than a plot development...”

He considered running for governor of New Jersey last year (as a conservative Republican, to succeed Chris Christie) which is actually the funniest Piscopo has been since SNL.

I mean, really, we already got a feature-length production of Snowpiercer. It was the original movie. It didn't feel compromised or compressed in any way so I really don't understand the need to remake the movie into a TV show.

Maybe you should put some clothes on, or something, if you want to keep fighting crime with us today.

That was the best line in a standout hour.

I’m fairly sure that’s the most any Native American language has been spoken in an hour of television, ever. Major kudos to Westworld for having so much of that subtitled.

I just subscribed to Filmstruck a few weeks ago and I’ve been absolutely loving the service not only because of its exceptional selection of movies but also because of features like this. Haven’t watched the Jenkins segment, but now I’ll need to check it out.

Well, that wasn’t what I was trying to do (I was just offering my thoughts on a review’s commentary of an upcoming show), but I’m sorry if it came across that way.

To be clear, I don’t have any problems with a book, film, or show presenting something from the perspective of women, featuring women characters, and showing how a particular problem affects its female characters.

“Millions of women struggle with their diet and weight, and most likely consider it a personal battle between themselves and the scale. But what if, Dietland supposes, it’s actually a massive male-dominated conspiracy...”

I will do me, never fear.

I’ve been meaning to check out this film, as lately I’ve been working my way through Edgar Wright’s list of his thousand favorite films and this is on it. So thanks for this article, giving me extra incentive.

You should! It’s got some stellar acting, and it definitely portrays the idiocy, greed, and nearsightedness behind the financial collapse. But it also delves smartly into explanations of complex financial chicanery that you don’t really expect to be conveyed intelligently by a film.

The real world?…The real fucking world. First of all, you write a screenplay without conflict or crisis, you’ll bore your audience to tears. Secondly, nothing happens in the world? Are you out of your fucking mind? People are murdered every day. There’s genocide, war, corruption. Every fucking day, somewhere in the…

I was thinking specifically of Black Widow’s introduction when I wrote that, actually - the scene in which she uses her thighs as her main weapon. And that movie is thought of quite fondly. By me as well! I don’t have a problem with the movie recognizing that she is sexually desirable. I just find it amusing how off…

“There’s a reason Anchormandirector and Saturday Night Live alum Adam McKay opted to direct 2015’s Oscar-winning The Big Short; only a comedian could tell the story of an economic crisis brought on by such colossal amounts of idiocy, greed, and nearsightedness.”
