I actually liked how Ben Mendelsohn’s Krennic wasn’t an intimidating foe in the vein of Vader - or the emperor - but more the kind of menacing that comes with being an officious and ambitious executive in a brutal dictatorship. He isn’t scary in his own right, but as a result of the government machine he’s a part of.

The only thing that would have been lost is the gnawing feeling that the Rebellion aren’t particularly righteous or capable

Aw, come on - a year in what amounts to a luxury resort, and that’s all it takes to drive our all-american boy to this extremely evil act of not only condemning a young woman to die alone (except for the man who killed her) in space, but to lie and deceive her all to hell about it, and meanwhile also seduce her (oh,…

- except a year’s worth of deliberation isn’t “a moment of desperation”; that’s premeditated murder.

I think that most of us, if we had the choice, would have done what Chris’s character do. We’re lying to ourselves if we’re saying that we won’t...

Also, he seems to have been retweeted (lots of double-e’s there) by a guy with the handle “Vodka & Polonium”.

Interestingly, there was a zombie movie made in his (and my) home country of Denmark just this past year, “Sorgenfri” (english title “What We Become”) with some of his friends in it - I suppose he was too busy in Hollywood to be in it, though. The pay on a low-budget, danish zombie flick probably isn’t competitive.

I know I’m harping on TWD but... listen, you don’t get to complain that people aren’t working together on a show that takes place in a universe where, despite it being the absolute best way to handle the situation they’re in (the post-apocalypse), and despite it being the way people would actually handle such a…

“...a murderous adolescent named Rachel and a less-murderous teen named Cyndie”

Babie*s*. Twins.

Oh man, the details in this show. Hard to pick a favorite, but candidates might include Luke’s comic book outfit after the escape, complete with upside-down tiara and ‘fro - not to mention the callback later, when Claire is heard asking if it was “...canary yellow? Mustard yellow? Tryin’ to picture it”.

Yeah, totally love how, in a show with a bulletproof half-giant protagonist and a boatload of street-tough criminals - Ali’s Cottonmouth shines, of course, menacingly cold and arrogant, but we also have Domingo, Shades, Diamondback (yes, I know he’s the bigger bad to Cottonmouth but he just isn’t as cool), and even a…

“The super-ness of this show isn’t in its fiction; it’s in its purpose” - should be true of all superhero stories, and notably it’s a principle that has a lot more presence, I think, in the current trend of them.

They’re GORRAM heroes, if you don’t mind.

Friend of mine told be about the show, he’d been watching it with his 6-year old (or so) kid, who also loved it - it was dubbed for language and simply called “Cowboy, Indian and Horse” (in danish, of course), and holy sh*t, I nearly shat myself laughing.

“Olds”? Not helping... ;)

OK, but - couple of things about this...: - first off, Project Ara *is* Phonebloks; you can’t say that PB ended in disaster as a reason Ara also will because they’re the same project.

Well, someone’s been watching “Obsessive Pop Culture Disorder”...:

Yup, a sound diagnosis. It’s further supported by the complete runaway success of Deadpool, which isn’t just this year’s biggest hit - it utterly crushed the entire X-Men franchise, Bats v. Supes, even Guardians, and a bunch more. And, it did it from a budget of barely $60m, by way of being a work of passion, fun,…

K, that’s not “pouring” - that’s just water blowing upwards because there’s a strong wind. Would you have made an article about how that girl’s cap would blow off of her head if she stuck it over the edge? It’s what happens when there’s a strong wind.
