Eh, just because something is very visibly awful doesn’t’ mean it shouldn’t be pointed out any more.

I know the Grand Internet Hive Mind is somewhat mixed on it, but I personally loved Altered Carbon. Perfect mix of big, mindbending sci-fi ideas and insane visuals, with good old fashioned B-movie fun.

Firefly is one of those shows I rewatch at least once a year

I’m the same way. ADD is a bitch.

Batman v Superman doesn’t depict Batman as killing at all; rather, Snyder clearly frames it as the “moral” thing to do. You can see this illustrated by Batman, after the scene where he “comes to his senses” and agrees to help Superman, immediately guns down several thugs in his Batplane. This is not portrayed as…

Even in the Frank Miller comics, though, the “no killing rule” was a central part of both Batman’s character and his psychological makeup. He even suggests that Batman’s obsession with not killing people like the Joker, people who honestly need a good killing, is part of his damaged psychosis, and after seeing his…

In this day and age, I feel like it would be terrifying to teach a kid how google works.

Your name is Country Mac. You don’t make days worse, you make them better

Part of me wishes I understood the references in these comments, part of me feels divinely blessed that I don’t.

That’s filtered through a modern lens, though. In 1912, girls entertainment was knitting and dolls. Boys entertainment, however, could range from the usual outdoor activity we see today, but could even include, gasp, reading books. That didn’t mean that young girls didn’t read or engage in “intellectual” activities-…

I’m really not sure what moron came up with the “grey comments” system. It’s so dumb, and really antithetical to having an actual discussion, which is what comments are supposed to be for

Yeah, I loved The Disaster Artist, but my least favorite aspect was how Greg was depicted. In the book, Greg is depicted as very reluctant to help Tommy in his clearly mad scheme. In the movie, he’s a very dumb cheerleader.

This is the internet. People must either love or hate something fully and without reservation, particularly when it comes to popular culture and media. The less information or nuance they have on the subject, the better.

All I can say is, Tommy acting like something that’s not human is part of what makes his awful, awful movie appeal to so many. It’s predominantly the thing that makes him a hilariously mockable, yet simultaneously oddly sympathetic figure in The Disaster Artist film, but especially the book (I really love the book).…

I liked it a lot myself, but the secret is to skip the side quests. 

Thing is, that very fact is part of what makes The Room, and Tommy Wiseau such an interesting figure. It’s fun to watch him smash a semi-truck through the kitchen wall, and then try to figure out where along the way he thought he was making a 5 star dish.

Why should Tommy be forced to indulge anything about his personal life? Growing up surrounded by American media, as well as the internet age, where we can wikipedia and google anything we’re curious about on the slightest whim, we’re not used to having information denied to us, and we’re not used to allowing public…

Yep. It’s funny how so many use the word “woke” to refer to being totally enlightened. However, they don’t realize they’re using it as a term of superiority, and just as often use their “woke” status as an excuse to utterly terrible jerks to people they don’t approve of. People like that haven’t transcended or risen…

Yeah, the AI being used as slaves reminded me a lot of the White Christmas episode. I kinda wished they would have gone in a different direction with it. I think it would have been more compelling if the AI Captain Todd uploaded to his game didn’t really have any sentience, they just did what he told them to do, to…

See, one of the many reasons I was disappointed in The Last Jedi was that it didn’t really delve into philosophy about the Force enough. I was expecting it to be KOTOR II like going in, with some real discussion about the nature of the light and dark side, but instead... it was basically Luke going, “The Jedi sucked…
