Have to disagree with you. There are little, and not-so-little, moments sprinkled throughout the initial trilogy that tell you what those two mean to each other. Just two of many: when Han is about to be lowered into the Carbonite chamber, Chewie tries to break free and fight off the stormtroopers. Han steps in to…

“I cannot express how many times I have yelled “Why don’t we have a Star Wars version of Top Gun yet?!” while drunk and angry at a bar. (Or my home. Or my office.)“

Yes, except not as funny.

I am white, and I understand that our experiences are, in many ways, significantly different. But I also dislike and recoil from movies about slavery because I don’t want to sit and watch Black actors playing roles in which their characters are brutalized on-screen. I don’t think it is about my ignorance or racism, as…

Let me wheel my walker next to you and shake my fist at those darn kids, too!

You make an excellent point: the complaints I have read about the miniseries seem to be that it is not what the critics would have done if they were writing the show. Katherine’s current piece is a good example of this. She admits that what is going out is pretty good, but she is still disappointed that wasn’t…

Thanks for the correction.

Hmmmm. That is how every series (and movie, for that matter) is reviewed. Reviewers get advance screeners, sometimes only a few, other times many or even a whole season’s worth. Some reviewers, like those at this site, just review the ones that are being aired that week, while others review several ahead. In fact,…

You do realize, don’t you, that Katherine has probably already seen all 6 episodes? She’s judging the miniseries as a whole, whereas we, poor cord-connected mortals, must wait until the Fox overlords deign to give us our weekly dose. So your advice applies to everyone but the person you addressed it to.

I’ll admit that I am not even a little interested in this show (though I am a sucker for a Welsh accent), and that’s largely because it’s another damn police procedural. Don’t we have enough of those already? What with “Almost Human,” “Minority Report” and post-season one “Sleepy Hollow,” it feels as though Fox has…

I got an add for Legends of Tomorrow. But, since it feels like a Marvel show, I hardly noticed the difference.

I meant “Ryan Coogler”. Stupid autocorrect!

I think you might be overreacting just a tad, Katherine. Particularly about Jake Kasdan. If you compare the number of credits he has with the number Joe Johnston had when he made the original Jumanji, Kasdan has a slight edge (if you count TV episodes and movies, he has considerably more directing credits than…

Well, I agree, but that is kind of the point of the piece: the author had a sex act performed upon her that she didn’t want performed and didn’t consent to being performed. That’s why I think it is rape, though probably not legally actionable.

Finally! I have been crying in the wilderness about the pedestrian-ness of this movie since it came out. I thought I was the only one who felt that way.

I see your point. Then the choice is (1) take a chance on another Mad Max movie directed by Miller (or two) and hope he can match Fury Road or even surpass it, or (2) make no more Mad Max movies to end the series at its peak (to date). Tough choice. I guess I would go with option 1, just because I always want more.

Nnnooo, not really. If you save one life by killing another, you might have done good for the person you saved, but the “how you do it” part doesn’t work out very well for the person you killed. On the other hand, the FF are part of the 1%, so Reed would think that way.

That’s even funnier if you ever saw Davies’ “Second Coming”. Well played!

You win the Gallifreyan Powerball for that remark!

I agree, reluctantly because I love Wright’s movies so much. I’m just happy that a little of his contribution to Ant Man survived (the Luis recaps are pure Edgar Wright, and I love them).
