You know, I've often wanted to tease you a bit over your persistent use of "Yea" (as in "Yea, though I walk through the valley of death") instead of "yeah." But not I wonder if maybe there isn't a legitimate, accent-related reason for it…

I don't see why people seem to think that's a CGI hand. Looks like a human hand painted green to me.

Hmm, I remembered that the origin story was covered in the opening credits, but I don't recall it really contradicting the basic events of Ang Lee's "Hulk" (though certainly omitting all the daddy stuff). And then the story picks up pretty much where the character was left in the last one (with a bit of time passing).…

I know it's a mug's game to quibble over terminology in discussions like this, but I think "reboot" was being used so loosely here as to almost be meaningless. I would want to limit "reboot" specifically to stories that discard previous continuity and explicitly set out to tell a new and distinct iteration of the…

I was born in 1978, so the Star Wars movies were always, for me, essentially just ancillary illustrations to show me what my toys would look like in real life. I would watch them primarily to spot background aliens that I had created whole other personalities and stories for as action figures. I never really felt any…

@bakana42:disqus Those are very good points and solid interpretations. And I think in the context of the values of the movie and its characters, it certainly is emasculating. I was just trying to provide one kind of context to @avclub-7445cdf838e562501729c6e31b06aa7b:disqus 's response to the use of the term…

Yes, because the conversation has been so helpful so far. And I'm talking about how individuals feel. I'm talking about how masculinity is perceived/defined across the culture.

Put it this way. How many people would say that a woman getting raped has been "defeminized? I'm guessing very few. That more or less sets the conceptual poles up thusly: true males are perpetrators of sexual violence, not recipients of it. Which strikes me as a pretty "icky" definition of masculinity.

Someone further up mentioned a "cheese maze" under the stage, and I have vague memories of that (big plastic walls that looked like swiss cheese with holes that you could crawl through). But, alas, I do not recall a strobing, mirrored room. At least not at the CEC in Memphis, TN.

It's also streaming on Netflix, at least as of a couple of weeks ago.

I second this recommendation. It's not a great documentary, per se, but it packs a nifty nostalgic wallop for those of us who grew up in the 80s.

Quick legal question. I don't have Spotify premium, so I don't download tracks from them. But I'm curious about this idea that downloading from Spotify would constitute ownership in any way. So, here's the question. If you download a track from Spotify, and at some later time Spotify has to remove that track from its…

I think there's two significant factors that play into this. The first is that a lot of actors don't enjoy watching their own performances. The second is that if you had the entire behind-the-scenes experience of the production of the show, then that makes extra difficult to suspend your disbelief as you watch it —…
