I probably agree with you but four paragraphs?  I’m not reading anything that long.

He used Westerns as an example, but it kind of undermines his point. Westerns were the biggest genre in movies for a long while, but they did taper off as people moved on to other genres and looked for new types of stories.

I disagree collex. I teach a college course on broadcast journalism and showed students longer form news stories and even films to drive home the notion of sequence shooting and the complaint on the older films were that the sequences took too long and were ‘boring.’ Most of these are still the best examples today…

Goddamn, please don’t write “New” along “Gravity Falls” and/or “Owl House” in the same title! (Unless there are actually new Gravity Falls or Owl House episodes in production)

I rewatched it a couple of months ago, and the moment that still makes me smile is Bruce offering Scott a taco. Everything Bruce had been through to get to a place where he could be so selfless makes it even sweeter.   No other character doing that would have meant as much.  

I have a sort of double-edged train of thought on this; I’ve never really liked the Doctor being a “romantic” figure at all - I always felt in the older days especially, there was this sense of ‘apartness’ that helped fuel the character (and made the Companion important as the lens by which to see the Doc function).…

My main problem with 2005- Who is that the showrunners tend to treat the Doctor as a kind of demigod, as opposed to just an extremely resourceful and intelligent person who happens to be a time-traveling alien. I never thought of the old Doctor as a Chosen One-type savior figure, just someone who enjoyed mucking…

The Doctor is not a Time Lord, nor an alien. He is a bunch of lines written on paper by a human and then said out loud by another human. So of course he will reflect human moores and perceptions.

Welcome Villain has released a new trailer for Mind Body Spirit, the found footage horror film about an aspiring yoga influencer who accidentally summons a demon.

So... it’s the perfect date.

Seeing as how none of the EU was considered canon by Lucas I don’t see how anything was changed. 

“What’s wrong?”

A long long time ago

That’s fine. I don’t think of Shaw as being so iconic that you can’t change him to fit the needs of the story as they did in First Class.

Blah, blah, timelines hurting my head.

she is but she’s also usually less conventionally attractive. 

Cool story, bro.

hell of a lot easier explaination than her comic origin. 

If you showed this preview to an industry person from 35 years ago and started explaining all the references, it would probably destroy them.

The forlorn stare at the post-apocalyptic wasteland of 20th Century Fox made me giggle.
