Well, that’s just awful.

The fact that you had to add the “I’m not those guys” caveat is the same reason I added the “rightly”. I’m for equality, but psychological research shows that audiences of all genders react more poorly to aggression towards women than towards men. But, by mentioning this, one gets easily labelled as “one of those…

Perhaps it comes down to this; peril. It’s the language of cinema that the heroes will (almost) always survive, but the path between the start and finish should make you forget that they’re gonna make it out. That when they crash their car, for example, they have a real chance of injury. Otherwise, there’s no tension;…

‘Cause when talking about this subject, one can come off as a brutish wanker and it generally takes a much longer time to fully express one’s position.

Haywire is the example I often point to as a good example of how it can work. But, I’m a little biased. It was partly filmed in my home town.

As blockbusters go, as popcorn movies go, it’s good enough. But, it’s not worth the rantings and the ravings and the good reviews and the bad reviews. It’s straight down the line.

So.... Jeremiah. Righto.

Oh look, yet another male specialist and female cop show. I’ve lost count of how many new shows use this dynamic.

This... looks... good? Admittedly, I don’t watch SNL because I have, oh what you call it? Oh, that’s it. Standards. So, I don’t know the Black Widow skit. But...

• Why would SHIELD fire one frankly weak missile and then bug out? That’s the question anyone not in on the scheme should be asking (amongst other questions). The simplicity of the plan just makes everyone involved massively more stupid.
  

I might be getting on a bit, but I don’t remember this being the “old magic”. This is very now-ish. Deconstructing the reality TV genre by doing a reality TV show. This can be done, and done well, but in isolation. The Community episode when Abed was doing his documentary was very nice, but I can’t see this lasting…

I prefer bitching about the process leading to their creation in the first place, but each to their own!

Davenport, from Ultraviolet, would have been a nice choice.

If you broaden the definition to be mystery/crime solving shows, then there doesn’t leave much that you’re excluding.

Sour that the premise was good, but the delivery was so, so very bad? To me, the premise wasn’t all that good. It was massively derivative. At least here, they’re “ripping off” one IP and not trying to make an abomination/amalgam out of many.

Every year I make cancellation/success predictions based solely on the content delivered at the Upfronts. So, the blurb, the trailer if there’s one. I’m currently running on a 89% accuracy rate. This one doesn’t even have blood in its’ veins. It’s DOA.

This has no chance. None. This will be this Fall’s Intelligence.

Woow. Ain’t that solid grade-A terrible. Yet another male specialist with female cop. Every year they spit one of these out, and (almost) every year it dies on its’ feet. Castle survived.

Blindspot looks like it will suffer from the same problems that John Doe, The Blacklist, Chuck, and Jake 2.0 (and others) all suffered from; finite information. There is a simply limited number of tattoos on her body. Beyond the fact that every week they will inexplicably connect one or more of them to events of the…

The Fast/Furious Franchise is almost superhero at this point. (other than boring the fuck out of me and representing much of the things I dislike about modern Hollywood) The set pieces are ridiculous, preposterous... ludicrous?
