I know. It’s designed so that when somebody is watching a YouTube video and this pops up as an ad, the beginning will tell them what the trailer is before the “Skip Ad” button appears, thus enticing people to stick around and watch the entire trailer instead of hitting “Skip Ad.”

It's specifically for when the video  plays as a YouTube ad. 

Season 3 was highly uneven, but so far this season (4 episodes in) has had one decent episode and 3 bad ones. 2 all time bad ones by my count.

Burnham is by far the worst character on this show. Not because of Sonequa Martin-Green or her abilities as an actress, but the plot lines for her are just always the same. She’s not ever really allowed to truly fail at anything completely. She might fail at first, but then she’s always the hero in the long run. It…

Y’all just now noticed that Discovery is “heavy handed”...???

This show shouldn’t be named “Discovery,” as there’s barely any exploration being done apart from the seasonal big bad. It should be named Star Trek: Feelings. 

The 20 things I learned about, The Beatles while watching the first episode of Get Back on Disney+

This was a BAD episode. I should have realized the writing this week was going to be iffy when we had two ridiculous moments in the first 5 minutes—-one being Burnham saying “I can’t even get him to cry” when we clearly saw Book crying not a minute earlier. Then, Saru saying he wanted to be (Georgiou?) to Burnham? Did…

I was ready to love inherent vice and had so much trouble actually watching it, let alone following it. The master is my favourite. 

Creators are so caught up in subverting expectations today that they quite often forget what made the originals classic in the first place. Star Trek has always been fairly subdued. It’s a look at the brighter side of science fiction. The new Star Trek has characters who act like children, ruled by emotions,…

Disscovery was the first Star Trek series I’ve where i’ve watched full seasons (I had seen a few episodes of the original serie and of Next Geneneration before, but nothing more) and I thought it was a ok show. But then I watched DS9 this year, and I’ve just finished Voyager last week, and I understand better the…

I’ve really tried to like this show, even going as far as fully understanding and accepting that Trek evolves etc.

I haven’t started watching this show yet but that is some of the worst costume work I’ve seen in a long time. It looks like an SNL skit up there. 

A lot of people here and on my social media feeds really seem to like the movie and I’m kinda surprised.

Idon't know. I watched the whole thing and couldn't figure out which character was Dune.

It uses Danny Elfman’s score for the opening titles, which makes sense, given the Burton films’ enormous popularity at the time (and hey, it’s a great theme). However, all of the rest of the music is composed by the late great Shirley Walker. Walker wrote her own Batman theme, which clearly riffs on Elfman’s but is…

Batman TAS was inspired by Burton’s Batman

Oh, the Nolan model is definitely preferable to the Snyder model. It’s just I’ve been thinking recently of the sort of Batman movie I would like, and I realized I don’t want Nolan realism or Snyder grimdark or Burton gothic-camp or Schumacher camp-camp. The closest to what I want is a recreation of what it felt like…

So, a Nolan-era retread, then. It looks...fine. It’s fine. I’ll almost certainly see it, but I’ve come to the realization that I’m kind of just over Batman shit. He’s vengeance, he’s the night, he’s got a weird growly voice, yadda yadda yadda.
