Yeah, watching these scenes made me glad that my mom bought me Lunchables. Eddie should've seen through that ruse though— how would you pack xiao long bao for lunch?

Yes, it's a Kevin Wada Psylocke. I love the way he draws her (and X-men in general.) I have very mixed feelings on her; I find that most Asians in comics are either stereotypes or don't get enough screen time to explore any aspect of their Asian identity. Psylocke at least presents balance (sometimes) between…

My tentative anticipation has boiled over to full-blown excitement with all the good press for this show. As I have Taiwanese immigrant parents myself, I'm so ready for all the uncomfortable race-related deja vu that this show will (hopefully?) have.

Maybe a woman could carry a movie if she's voiced by Bradley Cooper.

To my considerable dismay, I figured one of these out by recognizing the people in it.

I loved that radio show-spliced fight scene; it brought a smile to my face and really contrasted with SHIELD's usually poor direction/fight choreography/humour. I almost wish this wasn't a miniseries so we'd have more of it, but it probably wouldn't be as good as a full series.

"A young, well-educated loner kills the members of his mother’s estranged family one-by-one in hopes that he will inherit the family’s vast fortune."

Cute new logo! (Unless I just hadn't noticed it before?) Merry Christmas, everyone!

It must've been tough for Diaz to decide between sleeping over at her superior officer's home and letting someone know where she lives. Or maybe it wasn't tough.

Us Conductors by Sean Michaels is also fantastic, and won the Giller prize up here in Canada this year. It's about the inventor of the theremin, and it's lyrical and lovely.

The other theory for people in denial is "maybe he became inhuman last minute, and turned intangible?" But I'm not holding out hope for either.

As soon as they decided to send Mack down, all I could think was, "ugh, don't kill off the black guy. They always kill off the black guy." I hope they don't.

If Indie Cindy is the very definition of “least essential,” and Everything Changes pretty much defines the nonessential, then is Julian Lennon's box set pretty much the new Pixies album?

I seriously thought that this and the Hawkings biopic were the same movie.

Haha, honestly when I was typing up that reply I was thinking about bringing up Selfie too. Here's hoping that Fresh Off the Boat, when it airs next year, does well and is a better sitcom than its name.

They only drop a hint once (or twice, I went for a bathroom break and missed a scene) so I think it'll be largely left to Part 2.

I just got out of the screening for this, and I don't think the grey area was apparent at all— there are a few hints with how militarized the district is, but not much beyond that. Seeing the rebellion play out in all the districts made the Capitol's tyranny much more visceral than in the book, and consequentially,…

I had forgotten about this detail and how disappointed I was to hear it— I'm also an Asian woman, and it's always disheartening to see the lack of diversity in roles for us. I guess I'll feel ambivalent about both the book and the movie now.

You've just confirmed a lot of my suspicions about this, and I thank you for the warning. I'll probably wait for the Ridley Scott; the author's not adapting it, so perhaps it will benefit from the transition to the screen.
