Haven’t seen King of the Monsters yet, but I will support any love for Chernobyl. I think that perspective could be a really interesting way to deepen a Godzilla movie and tap into some of the dark heart of the original. The 2014 movie often feels like it’s filmed as if we’re watching Chernobyl and even has its own…

Thank you! Law and Order is an incredibly addictive, watchable show with a perfect formula. But that’s where the positives end. Like nearly every cop show on TV, except like The Wire, it shows a horribly skewed perspective of the justice system and makes cops out to be heroes. The interrogations on shows like Law and…

I guess I agree that it’s unlikely anyone would be able to stay completely true to their ideals while navigating an acting career. But I also think the outcome I’d want more for Sally as a character would be for her to just give up acting and find something she’s more passionate about. Sure, she has a minimal level of…

ik I’m late, but my Kinja was acting up and I kinda wanna address some of your points.

you don’t spend enough time with middle aged white people then

The word “twerking” goes back to the 90s NOLA bounce scene, but the type of dance dates back to traditional African dances like the Mapouka from Cote d’Iviore. And tbh I’m pretty sure people have been shaking their asses everywhere in some form or another since the beginning of fuckin time. But yes, most white people…

If you think merchandising is bad now, you didn’t live through the glut of the Phantom Menace. So many popular side characters with books and action figures and video game appearances were relegated to one or two shots in those movies. And there are always the Ewoks and Boba Fett from the OT, even if those movies felt…

It’s always nice to see Ignatiy end with a mic drop like that middle school line. Scathing af

Ok, Interstellar is definitely better with women than any other Nolan movie (although I think Insomnia’s one female character was solid), even if The Prestige technically had more women in the story. But overall, Nolan’s movies are huge sausage fests and it’s good to see him expanding out of his comfort zone on that,…

It’s weird how as controversial as that finale was when it happened, I haven’t heard the show brought up as one of the worst finales ever the way I have for Lost, BSG, and Dexter. But The Sopranos is one of my big blind spots, so I can’t really say if the cut-to-black is as fitting an ending as some say it is.

I thought I was the only person who noticed Tyrion’s reference! My jaw was literally agape at that scene and the only reason I didn’t blurt out how gross it was is because he backed down from doing a complete 1:1 translation. But jesus christ, like using nazi imagery from your villain has been in since Star Wars and I…

Totally agreed here. I didn’t quit watching in season 5, but that’s where I disengaged from the show emotionally, even if my favorite action sequence (hardhome) lands in that stretch. The money and talent is clearly on display in full force the past three seasons, but as the writers started to get looser with adapting…

What an amazing end to the season. Hader, Berg, and everyone else involved are really firing on all cylinders and I hope the show is able to maintain this level of quality (I worry it could dip after three or four seasons of such a high wire act). The moment when Sally receives all the praise for her hacky performance…

After seeing John Wick 3 this weekend and feeling kinda guilty about loving the bloodshed, Barry really brought things down to earth by showing very similar action and emphasizing the horrors of it

Or maybe I just have a vested interest in teen pop stars and CW dramas being accepted by the mainstream OKAY

A big part of it, I think, is just the visceral hatred any media property aimed at teenage girls engenders. Whether it’s boy bands, pop idols, Twilight, or CW dramas, people will mock it as stupid and childish. You’ll rarely see Netflix Marvel shows or Star Wars mocked to the same extend and, if you do, you’ll get an…

That effects shot of the building collapsing at the end is absolutely atrocious

So refreshing to see everyone being positive about this news on here. Pattinson has become one of the most interesting actors working today for me and I’m excited to have him move back into bigger fare like the Nolan project and this. Can’t imagine him and Matt Reeves could go wrong. I’m just gonna pretend Nicholas…

Seriously why are you not covering Chernobyl

You’re still not addressing the way the show has portrayed her as a savior and a hero, both in the clip I linked to and in numerous inspiring speeches she’s given and brief moments of kindness she’s shown to slaves and the downtrodden. You haven’t addressed that the “motivation” for her character’s turn was set up…
