Your hypothetical Lars von Trier movie sounds eerily similar to the ending of Neon Genesis Evangelion.

I like to think it went on to be a critically-acclaimed hit.

My top pick for a Watchmen movie would be someone like David Cronenberg. He understands how to make action ugly and meaningful, which was integral to the comic, yet completely missing from Zach Snyder’s super slick adaptation.

Hell yes to Mark Waid.

As someone who wasn’t enamored with Herbert’s Dune, I would welcome a good/interesting movie that was a bad adaptation with open arms.

That school should be burned down and the earth where it stood salted.

I am totally adopting “Penis-American” as my personal gender identity.

“I imagine the future is a bit like “Elysium,” minus the space parts—heavy economic stratification, overpopulation and increasingly repressive governments doing everything it can to uphold the interests and lifestyle of the elite at the expense of everyone else.”

Excellent point.

We already have a precedent for using singular “they” with “you,” which is grammatically correct for both second person singular and plural. And everyone already uses “they” in the singular sense anyway. There is no sound reason why we shouldn’t just make it official and get rid of these stupid, clunky grammatical…

If only English-speaking pedants would pull those sticks out of their asses and learn to embrace the obvious solution of the gender neutral singular “they,” we could easily avoid such stupid situations.

This season was definitely a lot of moving pieces around. It did get pretty clunky at times, but I feel like the showrunners are a lot more purposeful in their storytelling decisions than Martin, so I’m hoping it will pay off in the final two seasons.

The way this episode was so craptasticslly edited, Jon, Sansa, Theon, and even Myrcella and Stannis could all be either dead or alive next season. I realize it’s a fool’s wish to expect a season of Game of Thrones to end on a happy note, but they didn’t even have the decency to provide a proper downer ending either,…

:fist bump:

The ultimate trump card against the Intelligent Design crowd.

Correct answer: all of the above. Create new original characters, have female, minority, and LGBT characters take over the mantles of famous heroes, and yes, be willing to change the race, gender of sexuality of any character whose race, gender, and sexuality isn’t a core part of their identity (which means any…

Such a waste of Idris Elba.

Game of Thrones is phenomenal at being what it sets out to be: low-brow pulp entertainment with a veneer of SERIOUS REAL-WORLD POLITICS to trick people into believing they’re watching something high-brow.

Oscar Isaac is a FAR better actor than Harrison Ford.

Hey, everybody! If you haven’t seen Coherence yet, get on it. It’s one of the best sci-fi movies to come out in ages, and it’s just the dude from Buffy and a bunch of other people you don’t know hanging out in a house.
