It was definitely a surprise, but a very pleasant one. I was expecting another Batman/Superman: Public Enemies. While Bruce and Clark have their moments—obviously Batman, the only non-superpowered character in the whole thing, gets his Crowning Moment of Awesome in the climax—most of the story is a bunch of truly…

I think Carano carried herself very well considering the great actors she had to share screen time with. I like Bridget Regan a lot too, though. If they ever cast one as WW, the other should play another Amazon.

I thought so too! Bridget Regan would be a great Wonder Woman!

I respectfully disagree. She's not going to win any Oscars, but I felt Carano held her own in Haywire. Which is pretty impressive given the talents she had to share scenes with. And she can definitely handle the stuntwork and choreography.

Doesn't John show Lenina Huxley around the Savage Reservation at one point?

Most of the Bad Seed stories are late 60s - mid 70s, right? The conjunction of a) the boomers come of age and rebel against their parents, b) Roe v. Wade, and c) right before the successes of Norman Borlaug's Green Revolution were widely agreed upon, so population control was a foremost concern. Add the rampant crime…

I get that in TNG episodes, they'd always favour the diplomatic option. And I applaud that. I just wish Worf, one of the most professional officers on the Enterprise, wasn't always cast in the "shoot first, ask questions later" mould just because he was the tactical officer and a Klingon. Especially when some minor…

Luckily they had just enough warning to write a proper (and damn good) ending to the series.

I'd almost forgotten Quantum Leap's ending. That was definitely a proper sendoff for that series. It made perfect sense for the setting they'd created and for Sam's character, and resonated with everything that came before it. Just how every series should end.

It's basically the same plot as John Carpenter's Escape from L.A., but IN SPACE!

Three words: The Golden Compass.

She is awful, but her internal rationalizations and self-flagellation over her awfulness is an interesting character study. And it's a good lesson that sometimes people who fight against oppressive systems don't necessarily do so from pure intentions.

PG-13 is a rating of age appropriateness based on the film's content.

If Peter Jackson and/or Andy Serkis is involved, there's a good possibility of making it work. Anyone else, the odds are against it.

They let Wong Kar-wai film "2046" in Shanghai. I can't find out if it was screened in mainland Chinese theatres though.

This. Can we have an SF show where the characters are capable professionals who act like it, who have educated differences of opinion instead of histrionic snits? Who maybe employ a modicum of reason and logic in their decision-making?

I have never understood this "if Han shoots first, he's an anti-hero/sociopath" rhetoric. If someone shoves a gun in your face and says "maybe I should kill you right now", shooting him first is self-defense by any reasonable moral or legal standard.

Granted, in Star Trek we rarely get a glimpse of Federation life outside of Starfleet. But from what we see, almost all transportation and communications is controlled by the military. If this is only the case within Starfleet, it's somewhat justifiable (although TNG Enterprise's crew was half civilian). If it's…

This is explicitly noted in the movie. Sigourney Weaver's Dian-Fossey-IN-SPACE character's research has presumably made the cover of the future version of National Geographic and there're a whole lot of bleeding hearts back on Earth who've read her book and are fascinated with Na'vi culture. Being even further removed…
