The Mandalorian did a great job of this with the AT-AT. They seemed way less theatening in RotJ when Ewoks were taking them out with logs, but it seemed (believably) like an unstoppable demon when faced from ground level.

I mean, I haven’t seen a film in theaters since before the pandemic (because of the pandemic). I haven’t ever gone to the theater to see a rom-com, and while I like Billy and would like to support a film like this, I’m not risking COVID to do so, especially for a film that I have little-to-no interest in on its merits…

Speaking as a lawyer in their mid-30s who was on the dating scene until relatively recently, and many of whose friends are in the same or similar boats, no, the show’s take on dating is both relatable and accurate. Most of us are anxious, awkward messes. Jen could basically be any of a dozen friends of mine if they…

He wasn’t the head writer. The guy you’re thing of (Kurt Metzger) sucks, but let’s not take credit away from actual head writer Jessi Klein, who emphatically does not suck.

“Unintentional hipster” is how I’ve felt obligated to define myself for a while now. I’m an autistic geek, which means I both don’t have any artifice and am extremely into utterly random shit (some mainstream, some esoteric), which means I am constantly finding myself doing hipster things, but wholly unironically. In…

To be fair, I thought they did a great job with it in Obi-wan. I would have thought JEJ was doing the voice if I didn’t know otherwise. That said, I think they still have a ways to go with the technology when the voice isn’t already robotic - Luke’s voice in BoBF sounded like it stranded on the wrong side of the…

My thoughts exactly.

I can’t wait for several really good sketches written by several phenomenal writers in which Amy Schumer is the worst part, and a great appearance by Bridget Everett that is a complete non-sequitur.

If it’s as good as GotG, sign me the fuck up. (And a sequel to that would be nice too, though I recognize Eidos’s nonsense probably makes that a pipe dream.)

I suspect it’s an exaggeration, but it would also explain a lot.

Yeah, Manhattan always stuck me as creepy (fantastic opening sequence notwithstanding), but I loved a lot of his earlier work, and until the allegations he was always a very familiar figure to me. (I’m a 5'6" philosophically-inclined neurotic Jew, a significant chunk of my family is from the same neighborhood as him, …

I agree in terms of T1 being groundbreaking, but it wasn’t the same level of blockbuster as its sequel. (It led the box office for a couple weeks, but wasn’t even in the top 20 of its year, let alone setting any records.) It was- and is - more of a cult classic than anything, whereas T2, Titanic, and Avatar all were…

I’d argue this would be catching lightning in a bottle for the fourth time, not the third - Terminator 2 was a massive hit, and the third-highest-grossing film of all time when it was released. It may not have been quite as big as his subsequent two gargantuan blockbusters, but let’s not pretend the near-blank-check…

I wish I could still enjoy his work.

Nothing to be done about that.

Gotta say, this is extremely disappointing. I’ve been waiting literally decades to see Sam Beckett again.

I had a similar thought, so it wouldn’t shock me if this is it.

Honestly, considering its quality, there’s probably more bang for your buck if you’re not getting the sequel.

THANK YOU. I work on disability issues professionally, and to my unending frustration I’ve had to make this same argument in my office, which doesn’t get that making masking “optional” just means it’s prioritizing the choice of one group over the safety of another. 

I miss ZDTV. I was exactly the kind of geek as a kid that enjoyed watching Leo Laporte explain how computers worked in the afternoons after school. G4 I could take or leave - it always seemed more like it was trying to market nerdy stuff to the less nerdically-inclined, and this version sounded like it went even…
