I think it’s an important film with a lot of fantastic material, but I also think both reactions remain valid. Today in the 2020s it fits perfectly between the two eras of the show, but in the immediate aftermath of the show’s end it would have been a hugely disappointing retread for an audience hungry for more.

I…

The movies just don’t feel that necessary right now.

Anyone described as a “Royal Author” deserves to die mad

Working as a picker for an afternoon is not slavery.

They managed to do everything they needed to without a single wasted frame.

Bringing back Marie was a stroke of genius. It adds all the necessary context for just how much damage was done along the way. As much as the audience may want Jimmy to talk his way out of the consequences, doing so would have cheapened the…

I heard that the Tennant special was three episodes? Although this may just have been based on some clapper board scribbles

127 hours?? That means you could watch the entire BB/BCS saga before immediately cutting your arm off in a desert canyon!

The monochrome world of the post-Breaking Bad timeline gives me similar feelings to the new reality at the end of Twin Peaks: The Return. A haunting lonely wasteland that the audience shouldn’t really have access to. We have strayed beyond the frame of the stage into the place at which stories die.

It seems like a good idea for the Amazon show to downplay any connection to the movies. The more people view it as a new and separate adaptation of the material the better.

There is a slightly questionable scene in the Marie Curie biopic ‘Radioactive’ in which she experiences fevered visions of the consequences of atomic research, including witnessing Trinity and finding herself standing in Chernobyl.

None of this is actually intended to happen. It is an investment scam. Wealthy gulf states are happy to hand suitcases full of cash to fraudulent western futurists in exchange for fake press and an aura of techno progressivism.

No idea, I saw it in a movie once

Okay *spits on hands* let’s brainstorm this out..

1. The SNW crew get their minds copied by a gigantic space computer. Their mind clones are forced to live inside an animated simulation for decades until a second starfleet crew suffer the same fate.

2. Spock tries mushrooms.

3. Pike is knocked unconscious by a Klingon…

This is like asking for more job opportunities at a concentration camp.

Absolutely no one should want to feel represented by James Bond.

Oh, it’s definitely ideological. To me it’s no different than the ‘might is right’ people who believe the ability to physically dominate someone is the only measure of how correct an action is. Both situations omit human complexity and reasoning in exchange for blind natural chaos.

Are they ever gonna do something with Rick or did that plan fizzle out?

Nobody should want an Emmy.

The awards lost all credibility the day they gave one to Andrew Cuomo.

The first 45 minutes of Solo are a whole lot of fun. The rest is fine, but they shouldn’t have tried to pack everything we knew about the character into a single weekend of experience.

Ehrenreich was great though.

On Christmas Day in 1996 the BBC showed Jurassic Park on network TV for the first time and my grandmother reacted to the toilet scene by saying it was far too violent for us kids, (I had seen the movie in theatres three years earlier.)

She then spent the rest of the day recounting the plot of Sylvester Stallone’s…

Plenty of Christians will happily push you into an oven and then sit by the door praying for you as you scream in agony.
