Interesting... my kids are a bit older (11/13) and they had zero interest in Lightyear, even though they saw all the Toy Stories. So your age range there might be spot on.

The thing with Lightyear that a lot of people miss is if you ask a group of 4 to 9 year olds. They loves that shit. And this isn’t just “kids like everything” thing. Lightyear actually is engineered as a movie to be a block buster sci-fi movie but toned down just enough to be fine for a seven year old to watch. I… Read more
Lightyear may not be great but it is so much better then the Good Dinosaur

I think Gunn is a good choice to head DC’s media side. He’s done a great job of taking some of the more obscure or silly characters and making it work. The Suicide Squad did a good job of showing that you can use characters like Ratcatcher, Starro and Peacemaker who may seem silly on paper and make them work on both fu… Read more
Dan Savage also thinks you shouldn’t have to tell potential partners you have an STD
Since they're going to be in charge of TV and animation too, I hope it means Doom Patrol and Harley Quinn are safe. Hopefully, they'll save Young Justice too, give Caped Crusader a good home, and give more support to DC animation.
As someone who gives no shits whatsoever regarding the source material, this was a pretty great season. Properly epic all the way around, well-acted and told, and most of the ‘subplots’ were pretty interesting and well-handled. Final episode gets knocked down a full grade for having no dwarves, but aside from that… Read more
This show is gorgeous. Not just talking about how cool The Eye was either. All the set pieces, the way its shot, everything about this show is top quality.
Goddamn is this show ever great. It’s reminding me a bit about the early 70s cinema turn to grit and antiheroes and the whole embrace of moral ambiguity. I particularly loved how, during the robbery, the Rebels haughtily self-justify themselves while kidnapping a relatively innocent woman and her son, basically… Read more
If dragons can’t get the job done in 2 two damn years (pre-invention of new artillery like the Scorpions), it’s a wonder how Targeryans were able to conquer anyone at all.

It’s just going to be boring trash, the showrunners are clumsy acolytes of JJ Abrams and they sound like utter morons in interviews
I’m just tired of generic fantasy, period. Read more
I still remember one of the thrills from seeing the original trailer for the Fellowship of the Ring was that during that “hero moment”, you could easily identify each member of the fellowship at a quick glance, so well were the characters both cast and costumed. Read more
I thought it could have been interesting for Dany to literally “break the wheel” and establish a proto-democracy (an idea Sam is laughed at for suggesting in the series finale we got), only for Jon to rebel against her because he believes feudal monarchy is right and just. Read more
Thanks, exactly the sell I was looking for! Yeah, I think I came in with the wrong mindset, recalling more about my headspace at the time. I was in the mood for something in between Nolan and Burton, and when this didn’t hit that very particular and arbitrary chord, I immediately amplified the movie’s faults and… Read more

No disrespect to ST, but all it’s really done is integrate one song (Running Up That Hill) at a few effective moments. When It’s Cold I’d Like To Die was used pretty well too (bit of an anachronistic choice though, I think?) and the synth score is great. I wouldn’t personally say its use of music is particularly…
They really are, with a few exceptions, stunningly meek. Especially the old guard, who seem to still toil under the assumption that the majority of Republican lawmakers will be reasonable and compromise, despite well over a decade of evidence that the party was getting more and more extreme and willing to do anything… Read more
They won’t. They will allow themselves to be bulldozed in midterms, because that’s what they do. With a few exceptions who will never win widespread support, they’re a party of meek, center-right milquetoasts. My maybe-not-so-crazy conspiracy theory is that the DNC learned years ago that they raise more money when… Read more
