She’s good in this (so far), but she’s nails-on-a-chalkboard annoying in the movies (mainly Thor 2) because she epitomises the worst aspects of “the Marvel method” - i.e. the need to undercut everything with a “punchline” every 45 seconds, regardless of whether it’s actually funny, and to play to the lowest, dumbest,…

I like Costner, but I feel like Kline would make a way more natural Robin Hood, now that I think of it. 

It’s a real testament to the man’s talent that I actually still remember him from “The Flying Nun,” and I was just a tyke at the time. Ditto “Beneath the Planet of the Apes” and “Towering Inferno.”  He was the unsung hero of “Sanford and Son” and a memorable asset of a big chunk of prime seventies television. It’s a…

Gaith, did you have your fingers in your ears and your eyes closed during the last 12 years? The police shootings and other use of lethal force on Persons of Color, while letting heavily-armed openly-bigoted White Men (mostly) just walk away, has either skyrocketed ever since Obama was first sworn in, or public…

The [American] military and the police are inherently malicious. Individuals within might not be, but they are surely aiding and abetting an agenda that is highly focused on destroying anything outside of the white, capitalist norms that most western nations adhere to. Sorry that there’s no soft way to put that.…

By the way, naming the pilot “Pilot”...

Most fans of the original Walker, Texas Ranger watched it for Chuck Norris. Full stop. Chuck Norris. That’s it.

McNabb is my least favorite item from the McDonald’s dollar menu.

I think your Dad net is too narrow. Its appeal is less that it’s a throwback to the adventure serials than that it’s technically a war movie, so the jock dads don’t have to deal with any nerdifying robots or spacemen, and Gen X at least is approaching the age where military fiction with the illusion of historicity cast…

I liked it and am childless. Also I was born in 1978. 

McNab is an idiot. Master & Commander’s sound design alone is more hardcore than half the movies that have come out since.

Nicholas Meyer was heavily influenced by the Horatio Hornblower novels, which are very much in the same genre.

That is the general consensus.  Moffat wrote great stuff like Blink but when given the controls he crashed it hard.

I know it’s not a popular opinion given peoples love of Matt Smith but this show has been in a sharp decline since Tennant left. Moffat was a great episode writer but a shitty show runner. Everyone since him has felt even lesser.

Davies and Moffat were at their best two of the best writers working in British television. We were lucky to get 10 seasons from them.

The Chibnall era of Who has been pleasant enough that I still got a little choked up watching the Doctor bid one final farewell to her fam.

I have two thoughts, and they’re not fully developed yet so bare with me if it doesn’t make total sense.

Distant observer here. My understanding of this story is : Canadian person believed to have some indigenous ancestry. This small but personal connection shaped her identity, her interests and her acclaimed body of work. It so happens that this belief was based on misinformation about/from her grandfather. This is the…

I’m hesitant to put this out here; Anyone who is more pc/woke/enlightened than I: My entire life I have been told I am part Native American. The only proof to this is that a lot of my family have jet black hair and the men on the Native American side have weaker beards, and occasionally some but not all of the family…

Also doesn’t help that she’s very pro-Israel. Like far-right Zionist.
