He completely skipped most of the non-Fury stuff, especially the Skrulls at their base, discussing how they live, duplicating someone’s form *and* memories, etc.

That this technology ruined this relationship?

Real late to the party, but based on the lighting of the scenes of Liam alone in his home, I feel it’s heavily implied that he’s all alone now - that his wife has moved out and taken the child.

LOL at Minority Report being “wretched”.

He says that they were “trying” which implies that they were trying to get pregnant but that it didn’t happen right away.  Then he finds out that she had sex with Jonas so it made him think that maybe they didn’t get pregnant right away because the problem was him him (i.e. he was impotent) but she has sex with Jonas…

It’s heavily implied that the kid is not Liam’s.  She cheated on him during the period when he says “We were trying” to get pregnant.  The fact that he says that they were trying indicated that it was not successful right away, making him suspect that maybe the problem was with him, and that she got pregnant after…

The point of the episode was that this tech was being used here for something as low stakes (when compared to murder or some global conspiracy) as a suspected infidelity in a relationship. This is precisely the kind of thing that would happen in ordinary people’s lives all the time with this tech.

They received the finger and then had 2 (?) hours before they had to fuck the pig.  Years of CSI shows have convinced us that DNA test results can be obtained instantly, but in the real world they wouldn’t have been able to get DNA test results on that finger in time.

I think the public polling turned around not because the PM’s people were trying to trick the kidnapper with greenscreen, but because the princess got her finger cut off.  Up until this point her being kidnapped was something they were aware of but not a real threat.  But knowing that her finger had been cut off, that…

I’d have to dig out my LoB DVD to confirm this, but it’s either on one of the commentary tracks, or a DVD extra, but one of the Pythons (Cleese I think) talks about the troubles they had figuring out an ending to the film. They knew that Brian would be crucified (SPOILER, I guess), but they didn’t want the film’s…

My biggest complaint about this movie is the title. “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” is such a mouthful.

“The greatest inflection point between those concerns and Spider-Man as a character arguably came to their greatest blowup with the release of Insomniac Games’ Marvel’s Spider-Man in 2018, where the game makes Peter a staunch ally and supporter of its NYPD. He’s close friends with officers like Captain Yuri Watanabe,…

The Shining mini-series is #1? This list is hot garbage.

It’s bad enough that The Shining is on this list at all, but for it to be #1? “our number one pick for best Stephen King horror adaptation” - this is a joke, right?

“But it doesn’t take a film degree to see that depicting a minority as mystical and driven only by vengeance is a bit dehumanizing.”

Pretty sure Thinner was the book that outed King as Bachman. The previous 4 (that Teddy Ray mentioned above) came out and no one was saying “I think this is Stephen King” about them, but when Thinner came out there was enough talk that a reporter (?) started investigating and was close to breaking the story before…

When I saw Joan Allen in the credits I was like “Ok, this should be good” and then to see her do almost nothing in the first 5 episodes I was really disappointed. Also, I literally did not recognize her at first.

I read this book when it was released, I remember enjoying it, but probably haven’t thought of it since then. I must have heard that this adaptation was made 2 years ago but forgot all about it (plus who was taking Apple TV+ seriously back then?). So finally watching it now, it almost feels like a brand new story. I…

The problem with KLH being Kraven’s only good comic book story is that whenever there is talk about having Kraven be the villain in a Spider-Man story they always say that they want to adapt KLH, which misses the entire point of the story.

There may be some selective memory going on here. I saw Superman III in the theater, and I was old enough by that point to start reading reviews which were all saying this was a bad film.  They were right.
