If you invent the character, you’re entitled to hold that opinion. If you didn’t invent the character, you’re not.

“I have a good feeling about this.” -- H. Solo

Actually, I think you’ve hit upon a wonderfully satirical concept there. A world where, for decade after decade, female superheroines (kinda redundant there?) save the world, again and again. And everybody takes this as routine, the way things are, the way things are meant to be. And then a MALE superhero appears, and…

The problem is, when a police department is going out of its way to create a crack team of headbreakers who will go out and beat suspects (or non-suspects) to death at the least whim of their commanding officer, you’re not going to get the best quality people applying for the job. If you are determined to run your…

I would love to see what Gunn could do with a Superman/Batman team-up.

Not basing this on evidence, just on decades of movie-watching and casually observing trends, but I wonder if the superhero films have already peaked and are now beginning the period of “still profitable so let’s cut production costs and hire (cheaper) younger talent.” A lot of this will depend on how good Thanos II…

Scientists have yet to figure out a way wherein poor people exercise and rich people reap the benefit.

But when that second chin appears ominously on the horizon, you’ve got to do something!

“Comedy legend?”

I believe we’re going to see a lot more of this, other nations making the rational decision to simply wait out the remainder of Trump’s presidency until such time as this country once more has a rational and competent leader.

Hillary doesn’t ever buy battery packs? Tell me it isn’t so!

In the second spoiler paragraph, I’m guessing that Han disobeys a direct order in order to save a comrade’s life, rather than disobeying a direct order to save that comrade’s life. (As written.) Sorry...it’s the copyeditor in my soul!

I enjoyed The Nun, but I approached it more as a supernatural adventure story — a la Seabury Quinn’s Jules de Grandin stories — than as pure horror. I think that made the difference for me.

This feels like a dumb question, but...would they vote on the Most Popular Film Oscar? Seems like it would just go to the biggest box office movie. But given the way the Academy votes, I suspect that the leading box office film would never be seen as prestigious enough, so the Oscar would go to the most “respectable”…

“...no matter how many foes have said that to him, he’s still standing.”

I wonder if any of the studios didn’t like the concept of admitting which films were popular because it could lead to the (horrific!!!) idea of them opening their books to the Academy? :)

So, bread and cheese go back much further in time than we thought. How old was Lord Sandwich, anyhow?

“...since the jet, which is moving closer to Earth but not pointed at us directly, is traveling slightly slower than the radiation it emits, the light from the back of the jet will reach Earth slightly before the light from the front of the jet. Thus, the jet appears to move perpendicularly faster than light.” 

This is two consecutive sure-fire Hall of Fame catchers (Montero being the other) the Yankees have produced who can’t...well, catch. They must have hired some of their minor league coaches off my own beloved Mets.

Rule No. 1147-C of growing up: Your not liking a movie doesn’t make it a “bad movie.”
