Alright, I’ll take the hate. Mad Max Fury Road is not that great of a movie. It’s smart for a blockbuster ‘splosion-fest, but it’s not actually all that smart. It HAS an ecological gimmick, but it doesn’t say anything about it. It HAS a sexist main hero and strong women, but it doesn’t really say anything about…

See, I dig the idea of a shared universe that’s not necessarily about connecting all of the individual stories. Actually, I would be BEYOND thrilled if JJ Abrams & Gareth Edwards came out & said that “Cloverfield” & “Monsters” shared a universe, if only because my cranial imaginarium has already gone there in more…

It’s almost as if we watched totally different episodes.

Difficult to find the whole thing on youtube where the audio is not all messed up or in a different language. this will get you started though..

It will be well liked, and since it avoids the pitfalls that ruined the new trilogy (Jar-Jar, annoying kids,…

If nothing else, Abrams has shown himself to be an eminently capable director of very watchable films. STID is reviled by the community of people dedicated to reviling things that are not exactly like other things in their imaginations, but the reviews (audience and critical) were generally very positive.

As someone old enough to have seen all the movies in theaters during their original releases, I’m glad everyone is giving positive feedback, however I remain only mildly excited. People were positive about the prequels initially, too. And people that saw the prequels first have, I believe, a fundamentally different…

I keep seeing this comment and it makes 0 sense. Why would they do that?

I was a young adult in the '60s; I was there. We stopped because it was never about exploring the moon; it was only ever about beating the Russians. At anything. They kept telling everyone that communism was better than capitalism, then doing amazing things like Sputnik and Gagarin's epic flight. The space race was…
