I definitely admired DS9 for taking a radically different approach to the Star Trek universe. It's an intriguing idea, to rocket a series many light years away from earth only to then stay in one place (more or less). Definitely a sophisticated approach. When I tried getting into DS9 I did go through some Best Of…

Easy enough to create an exception.

Wolverine is a very, very tired character. He's so stale that I would have much preferred seeing even Anna Paquin, whose acting I don't think much of, as the film's time traveler.

Strange, though, that during the writing they didn't seem to have bothered diagramming the obvious errors in order to eliminate them.

I agree with your indictment of critics, fwiw. I suppose it's the hackery brought on by the need to not get a reputation of being overly critical; biting the hand, if you will. It's probably why bloggers, who don't need to cultivate and tend ongoing relationships with the big studios, are more apt to get big budget…

"At one time, David E. Kelley was probably the best writer working in Hollywood."

Once the sumbitch was on the ground after the first time Landry clocked him, facing away from them, apparently unarmed, with a lighted store available to retreat to, any argument for self-defense vanishes.

Sure, there's substantial agreement, but it doesn't mean anything beyond that. Star Trek Into Darkness drew 87% on rottentomatoes, for god's sake.

I agree that there's cartoonish, and there's bizarre. Early Sue Storm was definitely zaftig enough for my tastes, and at 36-24-36 she'd look like a starving waif next to most of today's versions.

I'm not following your point, though. Comic books feature exaggerated male and female bodies, and it so happens that more readers are sexually attracted to those female bodies, and…?

So let's see how that would play out… Take something like the Romulan attacks on earth outposts in Balance of Terror, the precursor to massive interstellar war. In that episode there was no particular pull on Kirk against going to war. McCoy’s objection was reasonable, certainly, but its quick dismissal was also…

Well, once Wolverine successfully traveled back in time and defeated Bolivar Trask, I think it's fair to say we moved into the alternate timeline, too.

True, but hat's off to FNL for being so direct about it. There was a lot of detail that really helped us understand what it might be like for someone like Jason. The glimpse of the leg bag, the chest strap, the difficulty with sex and procreation, which of course sets up his eagerness to be a father when he has the…

I didn't see it as malice or subterfuge, though. Just a putting together of two extremely horny children who happened to inhabit middle-aged bodies. Buddy's astounded glance at her cleavage was wonderful.

Except, most male superheroes are just as cartoonishly drawn as female superheroes. Last I knew, even Reed Richards had twelve pack abs.

Oh, sure. I'll bet you tell 3 year olds there's no Santa, too.

Yup. With all the help around I didn't even get the we were supposed to think the wound created a time issue.

Well, it has better CGI, right? All Kane had was those effing spinning newspapers. Days has flying robots! Take that, Welles!!

That doesn't mean much. I've seen movies panned in individual reviews on Metacritic that get 2-1/2 stars which translates to a 62-1/2% score. Reviewers with regular columns are very reluctant to hand out poor reviews. (Look at the weekly page of tv series rating here—the average is, what, B+?) Ratings in the 70s on…

It would have worked if they'd killed X and Magneto. Why not go that route instead of milking two old actors?
