I used to hate history, it was the most boring class all through school. Then I got to college and took some random history courses to fill in some undergrad requirements and found out I didn't hate history, I hated boring teachers. These professors teaching history brought the stories alive and I devoured it. I ended…

Actually the title should read "Frightening artwork by deranged (mostly) Christian propagandists"

I'm reminded of this:

There's a great tiny house documentary on Netflix. I find the whole tiny house movement pretty inspiring. http://tiny-themovie.com/

He really was a genius. There's no other way to put it.

Ahhhh The french.. Vintage Dated. (sorry I had to.)

Goddammit, so good. His style of storytelling. Wonderful stuff. The use of stills and breakaways!

Yeah, I really think this is a misread of Contact, and said much the same in response to a similar comparison in the earlier Interstellar review. Just because the aliens take on the father's form doesn't in any way mean love is a physical force. In fact, in their conversation with Ellie, they make it clear that the…

Charlie Jane, I agree with your rules. But Kinja makes it really hard to peruse a heavily commented post and determine if somebody has already made the same comment. Even excluding the whole "Show Pending" thing.

I didn't interpret the ending of Contact as being pseudoscience at all. The alien read her mind, found memories of her father, then took that form so the alien could talk without scaring the bejesus out of her. I thought they were very clear about that the movie.

To me most of the high fantasy movies that came out after Lord of the Rings felt a lot like some movie mongol said, "Hey that Lord of the Rings is doing well in box office, make that in two years" and as a result we got a whole lot of mediocre fantasy movies that burned out quickly because they were trying to make…

Can we please fire up a kickstarter to make this movie?

Suffrajitsu: Based on a true story.

As a counter-balance to the header image, I hate all the lazily written "mean husbands" I see on my wife's Lifetime movies. They like football! They work hard at the office! They're obsessed with sex! They tell you how fat you are with tact! They slap you when you complain! Then they beg for you to stay (then slap you…

The Church of Satan really should change its name; no doubt without it, many people would identify with most of its tenets (An indifferent universe, a self-indulgent lifestyle, concern for the environment, support for sexuality between all consenting adults, support for rational laws and social contracts, justice...)

"According to the gas chromatograph, the secret ingredient is... love?!? Who's been screwing with this thing?"

This is like an illustrated version of every guided tour I ever took when on vacation in Australia. "This is the bay where a shark came and ate the vicar's daughter... this is the part of the nature trail where three hikers died in a flash flood... this is the type of tree that's a favorite haunt of the youregonnadie…
