That’s how its critics see the character. How its fans see it - which is critical to its enduring appeal - is as the perfect male fantasy figure. He sleeps with any beautiful woman he wants, fights villains who are usually older and out of shape, travels to exotic locales, delivers awesome quips, drives expensive…

Which college teaches “Reporting on news that you weren’t the first to scoop isn’t journalism” in their Journalism 101 course?

Anyone who wears a sun hat to the movies is a goddamn monster.

I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch to imagine him estranged from his family. From their perspective, he went from great husband and dad to PTSD-ridden wreck of a human being in an instant.

If this movie’s screenwriters were smart, they could do a respectfully accurate portrayal of Chinese dragon myths and have their Fin Fang Foom too.

I’ve always thought the most important question regarding a Sandman adaptation is who’s the director. It very much needs someone with an eye for the visually sumptuous and spectacularly surreal. David Fincher, Tarsem Singh, and Alex Proyas have all come to my mind as great picks to direct. Hell, give David Lynch a…

Well, the Kuomintang did preside over 40 years of authoritarian martial law in Taiwan, so yeah, fair.

It’s a movie based on Portal, a videogame... but there’s actually another videogame that it’s based on! What could it beeeee...
