    It would be awesome if, at the end of the Morbius movie, Russell Crowe’s Dr. Jekyll just pops up and then we learn that after Disney tried to play hardball with Sony over Spiderman, they just went ahead and somehow licensed characters to Universal.

    Blade wasn’t exactly top shelf either when that movie came out, was he?

    well, I’m a little surprised this didn’t have the three-second trailer (coming up in this trailer!) summary that’s often before trailers, which would indeed make that a trailer for a trailer for a trailer. Only a matter of time.

    I know it doesn’t matter for Vermont, but i wonder if other states will allow for the different skin tones for the various hand emojis...

    Yeah, the actress was pretty bad, even by CW teen standards. Maybe she would’ve grown into it like Katie Kassidy finally turned into a halfway decent actress, but she was a long ways off...

    This is the most puzzling thing to me. I haven’t read the comics in a few years, but wasn’t Cassandra an elite assassin and then the new Batgirl? The only way the movie version resembles the comic character I remember at all is that... she’s asian? What would’ve been wrong with having a masked, silent, lethal

    What I want to know is, what did he do BEFORE he became governor? I’m going to guess he was like a slightly more famous, less abusive version of the Sham Wow guy. The early internet seemed like the perfect time for Zack Morris to be starting a career of scheming and bamboozling his way to undeserved riches.

    It’s also quite possible that, given that this show has been around for *20 YEARS* now, that what you used to think of as oblivious or selfish now seems mean. I’d venture to say that the average person has changed way more in the 20 years than Larry David has...

    I think it definitely bordered on patronizing, but never quite got there.  I think it played as close to “sincere” as Larry David can get to that kind of thing. Or at least, the “Larry David” tv character.

    I mean, what are the chances this leaked script ended up the final product? And, I mean, there was a reason he was fired. People saw Jurassic World.

    It’s just sort of insane to me, this whole modern take on Star Wars. It started out as one really fun movie, followed by two pretty good sequels. Then it just ballooned into something with unrealistically high expectations, when the truth of the matter is that at least half of all the Star Wars movies aren’t that

    I still cannot believe there wasn’t like, you know, an overarching PLAN FOR THE NEW TRILOGY. It wasn’t until after The Last Jedi that I realized that. Because the mere suggestion of a new trilogy with each writer/director just taking up their own plotlines with each new film seemed just completely unrealistic and,

    Right? The fact that apparently does not “accurately depict the migrant experience”... i mean, is it possible it depicts a possible migrant experience? Also... it’s fiction?

    You’re probably remembering it wrong then. Stewart’s last show was early August 2015, less than two months after Trump came down the escalator, and Stewart had announced he was leaving the Daily Show in February 2015.

    And about that idiot B-4. I always assumed if there were future TNG movies, they would’ve just dumped Data’s memories into him and have him as a sort of child-like figure for a while before he got back up to speed, kinda like when they brought Spock back.

    At least Nemesis had some decent action scenes. I think Insurrection is by far the worst. Nemesis didn’t have any gross face-skin stretching at least. (though it did have the weird and awful mind-rape scene).

    This was the biggest shock to me about this- Nemesis is now... required viewing? I guess you do need to know about Data dying etc, but seems to me like kind of a flex by the showrunners. 

    I was a LITTLE disappointed at the whole Borg angle (I’ve only seen the first ep). That was basically the old Berman-era ploy to try to juice the ratings on a show. Just bring in a Borg storyline. People love the Borg!

    I mean, not really? The best seasons of DS9 in particular were, for me, the last three mostly-serialized Dominion War stories. Still some of my favorite TV ever.

    Most of the “criticisms” I’ve seen—by people who have definitely not watched the show yet—have been of the “Keep this SJW politics crap out of Star Trek!” Meaning that they’ve either never seen a single episode of any Star Trek show ever, or or just trolling. Or most sci-fi, really.
