It did not have the power to invalidate the entire point of the previous film, because the previous film had ended. Someone else making a different movie later does not retroactively alter the movie that already exists.

If one thinks of this movie as somehow re-defining the ending of Aliens, then this is a very bad next chapter, in that it invalidates much of the emotional and thematic content of the previous chapter. It’s a much better movie when one doesn’t think of its as a continuation of Aliens, but as a separate work which…

Resurrection is an every-other-time pleasure for me. I’ll watch it, and be kind of caught up in the weird juxtaposition of Whedon’s screenplay against Jeunet’s visuals, and end up really enjoying it. Then, a couple of years later, remembering that experience, I’ll watch it again, and find myself disappointed with the…

Love her in Black Christmas, but I think my favorite movie with Kidder would have to be Sisters.

How could you miss the genuinely hilarious ALF episode “Standing in the Shadows of Love,” while including something as tenuously Cyranoid as “The Love-matic Grandpa”???

I quite like grits and cheese, but I cannot get my head around the idea of putting cheese on grits. That sounds repulsive.

So, the alt-right exists because of your misinterpretation of certain liberal concepts - concepts which have been willfully misrepresented by conservative leaders and pundits?

Nope, not the old school voices. In fact, the old school voices changed over the years, because they always used children for the roles, a tradition continued in the new movie. Charlie Brown was voiced by a pre-Stranger Things Noah Schnapp.

I tend to think that rejecting bizarre juxtaposition is the result of conditioning.

(often in episodes that were shot and directed by Joss)

Sure am glad “atheist” tops the list of labels he feels compelled to reject...

One of my undergrad professors was in this movie. His character is credited as “Rock Freak.”

Where are all of these people who love to watch The Rock do things on screen? I mean, I see them post things on the internet, but I don’t think I’ve ever met one in real life.

I tried to set Josh up for some reality TV hosting work, but the company I was with didn’t take an interest. They were fools.

I had a socially awkward (even more than myself) friend in high school who made that claim. I couldn’t believe that he didn’t seem to realize that it was a cliche, and he was only digging himself deeper.

I’ve always assumed that, on Monday morning, they’ll all go back to their accepted social roles. Maybe that’s the message, or maybe I’m just cynical, I dunno.

I was gonna go with The Pixies (probably something off of Surfer Rosa, but whatever), but the article beat me to the punch. So instead, I’ll op for They Might Be Giants. Off of Apollo 18, I feel like absolute perfection is achieved in the run of:

The Statue Got Me High
Spider
The Guitar

But season 9 ends with a reveal that most of the season was a book she was writing, and that’s when we learn about Dan dying and all the other big twisty reveals. So, was her writing the book and revealing all the fabrications also part of the book?

Giving hard and fast “rules” to The Force reduces it from a mystical, religious concept with rich metaphorical and thematic potential to a set of video game/RPG level-ups. I feel like Johnson restored The Force to what we were told it was in the OT, before the EU and the prequels reduced it to a set of specific…

This is tricky. The letter writer specifically says that he hasn’t safe worded the issue, so essentially this is all still happening within the realm of kink play that he is engaging in voluntarily.
