I seem to remember a comic in which the Kents argue about this exact thing: one parent wants Clark to be a hero and use his powers for good, the other worries about the burden that places on him and how he’ll miss out on a normal life. (I think it was Superman: Birthright.)

You think area damage is a thing we don’t often see in superhero movie fight scenes??

If that was Zod’s strategy, then what the film needed to show was Kal responding to that strategy, i.e. attempting to take the fighting away from the city or even just demonstrating dismay at the innocent people being hurt. Since it didn’t do that, the only interpretation is that the film itself didn’t care about the…

Having lived in Thailand for 5 years, I am intimately familiar with the kind of stupid white people who go there.

Coming soon: the story of the Covid-19 vaccine, the millions of lives it saved, and the heroic Pfizer exec who made sure it was profitable to do so first.

The timing is that a bunch of previously-announced SW projects just got canceled; that points to multiple shake-ups going on at the studio that makes it hard for someone just trying to make a movie. The process is that they’re still in the script stage, nothing has been filmed, (presumably) no sets have even been…

The person you replied to is absolutely correct and I don’t know where your smugness is coming from.

She was magnetic in Top Gun: Maverick and I’m sure that’s not just my heterosexuality talking.

The explanation for this is that all four of them are actually decent writers (even, I am loath to admit, Goldsman). In TV where they have the relative freedom to get their scripts produced, they can produce good work. In film, where studio execs interfere a lot more, they become glad-handing ass-kissing hacks.…

I mean yeah, we all remember how Boromir died that one time but was such a popular character that he came back for 3 more books that turned out to be prequels.

“While every seat at AMC delivers an amazing moviegoing experience, we know there are some moviegoers who prioritize their specific seat and others who prioritize value moviegoing. Sightline at AMC accommodates both sentiments to help ensure that our guests have more control over their experience, so that every trip…

How hard is it to make a prop gun that looks like the real thing, makes a loud bang and produces muzzle flare and smoke when you pull the trigger, but doesn’t fire any bullets?

I feel like, in a review that’s on the whole pretty meh on the thing that it’s reviewing, using superlatives like “brilliant” to describe its better aspects makes the article read a little schizophrenic.

I mean, the timing lines up, so it’s not completely unlikely.

Yes, because how can we possibly allow women to benefit in their career without being made to suffer at the same time.

I mean, one of Dragon Age’s major themes has always been “what if horrific oppression and human rights violation was actually necessary, because the disadvantaged minority we’re doing it to were actually really dangerous, because magic?”

Spectre was ultimately a letdown, but it did have a lot going for it. Mendes’ visual flourishes were pretty underrated - e.g. the entire room of Spectre techs who’ve been trained to creepily stand up on cue.

Cristin Milioti as a badass mob boss bitch is inspired casting.

That is a great title.

I mean, it’s obvious why, isn’t it? Shows about travelling clearly mean you watch them to learn about different countries. Get Americans to watch that? Hah.
