It's so fitting that with Futurama's history, they would finally have shaken off the rust just in time to get canceled again.

Yes, this episode was a nice spoof of both Alien and The Thing.

Yep. It's easy to see why these movies are a cut above the usual comedy fare when you see how smart and thoughtful the people creating it are.

This crossover makes a hell of a lot more sense than Marvel/Star Wars, that's for sure.

Haha, point taken.

You raise a good point, and I hope that message gets drilled into his brain and the brains of every other student watching him.

Have you actually watched the new cartoon? Sure it's got some goofy humor, which gets played up in the advertising, but they've also got some pretty strong story arcs going on. Splinter's backstory and relationship with April have been particularly good. It most definitely isn't just a glorified toy commercial like…

It's already been revealed that Casey does in fact don the hockey mask and beat people up with sports equipment. And the show's gotten great results from making the turtles and April younger and less mature, so why would anyone expect them to not do that with Casey?

Eh, I consider that less of a crossover and more of an Easter egg.

How could it die, when it was never there in the first place?

In this case, I think "I don't care" is a proper criticism of JJ Abrams and his stupid Mystery Box gimmick. There's only so long you can go on about building mystery without ever providing satisfying answers before people just tune you out entirely.

There were several good moments in Into Darkness that could have made for good movies if they had been handled by thoughtful filmmakers who actually gave a shit.

Just a hunch, but I believe it means JJ and Company are making yet another movie that won't be nearly as interesting as the trailer.

Yes, but going out of your way to get a designer breed like that just leads to some shady breeding practices that are bad for the dogs. Much better to just adopt a less pretty dog who'll love you every bit as much as a direwolf would.

Damn, that's a big puppy.

Why, for the love of all that is holy, would someone want to hear what Mark Millar has to say about the purpose of violence in storytelling?

Some secrets are best left unknown. Especially if discovering them leads to shitty movies like Prometheus.

Time travel in any ongoing story, really. Even if they continue to use it, it tends to only be in some stories, and conveniently ignored in others where it would help tremendously.

Science fiction can be used to tell all sorts of stories: action thrillers, romances, slow-burning character studies, and yes, horror stories. To try to divide all art into boxes and say that because a movie is part of one genre means that it can't be part of another is just being absurdly pedantic.

Eh, I kind of assumed a sequel to Chronicle would have to be a pretty massive shift from the first movie. There are just a lot of aspects of Chronicle that had been concluded by the end of the movie that wouldn't work at all for a sequel.
