It's weird how few Japanese actors there are in this film. Just judging by the cast you'd think it was taking place in the US.

The thing with this film's racial politics is that is goes out of its way to downplay the Major's Japanese-ness, to the point where it feels like it was directed by the family from Get Out. Despite multiple flashbacks to her abduction by Weyland-Yutani and ScarJo meeting her mother we never see her actual face. Her

It's funny, when this game was being produced all the press coverage for it talked about how it's main theme was the question of 'what does one life matter?', but that's barely covered in the actual game and in the end it kind of turns into the ending of Life is Strange.

You've found a glitch in the matrix.

Reality Bites is like if Trainspotting thought it was an uplifting story of fighting The Man.

It's because they want this one to play well in China. Audiences there hated the original. They hated the singing, the love story, the constant references to honour and ancestors, the dragon (who attained a Jar-Jar Binks-esque hatedom) etc.

So modern conservation work will be done mostly by furries? I did not expect that.

This is made by Illumination, not Dreamworks.

Sadly Mr Fuzzypants was not able to fit playing Sunny into his schedule.

She was also Kevin Spacey's daughter in Nine Lives.

With this episode I finally realised what this show is. It's Pirates of the Caribbean with the tone of Warhammer 40,000. After a series of steadily increasing brooding camp this episode finally just dives right into the silliness. Zilpha jumps off a bridge for no particular reason, and Stuart Strange's death is

Like when the CGI woman from Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within was going to star in other movies.

Even as someone utterly burned out on zombies I loved this movie. It takes the genre and actually gives it meaning again, turning it's post-apocalyptic tale into an interesting study of coming of age in a group where most people don't see you as a person.

No, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within is still the closest.

On a rewatch the sequels aren't bad films on their own merits, and the first one is actually quite good.

Yes, they were. That's the scary part.

People can be horrible and hateful and entirely in control of their faculties. Being mentally healthy doesn't make someone nice.

Being a fascist is not a mental illness.

Isn't that just trivialising actual mental health problems by associating them with complete arseholes?
