That sounds about par for the course for the video game industry, spending a billion dollars and unimaginable hours building an incredibly realistic robot theme park then hiring one hack to write all the quests and dialogue in the three weeks before it opens.

Is there anything more satisfying than cowboys shooting ninjas?

That’s some really awful CGI on Chewbacca’s mouth up there, is that how it is in the movie?

Yeah I can’t help but wonder if it’s because he’s gay and unfortunately that doesn’t spur the same level of outrage. Yes, I know, Kevin Spacey, but I believe a lot of the Spacey backlash was because he was in the closet.

Not to malign the French (or Italians or..) but the Me Too movement hasn’t shaken up every culture the way it has the USA and UK. There’s still a real old world mindset in a lot of European countries where this kind of thing gets a pass if you’re a successful man, or even gets celebrated. He could easily keep working…

It’s a reality show about Tilda Swinton trying to stop a Kevin James-starred “We Need To Talk About Kevin” sitcom reboot.

Oh, like Seinfeld and incredibly beautiful girlfriends?

Books just seem so irrelevant. What they should have done if they wanted to update it is have the firemen come in our houses and burn everybody’s websites.

Truffaut’s version has style to, uh, burn.

Thank you for saying what we’ve all been thinking.

Ray Bradbury’s writing always seemed like it was aimed at sixth graders. That’s not an insult, I think it is very effective when read at a certain age, but it certainly leans towards being blunt and simplistic.

That works great for comedians used to improvising and bullshitting with friends and totally makes Home Movies special.

You know what Dr. John needs is some New Looks.

Go watch Michael C. Hall choke through a British accent in that new Netflix show “Safe” and Dinklage will suddenly seem like Meryl Streep.

I think if 70+ year old Spielberg and Scorcese pulled a Terence Malick and disappeared for a few decades, their street cred would rise considerably when they made their triumphant comebacks.

True that. I know a guy who spent 6 months in jail for underappreciating goat meat.

But everyone who buys one starts a band.

Comedians plus Wang Theater sounds like an ill-considered plan.

I think the general consensus with the more literate and thoughtful contingent of sci-fi fandom is that while Alien 3 is a flawed movie, it could have been wicked awesome if some Predators, Robocops and Riddick all showed up to kick ass.

Alien C.H.U.D.?
