If you know anyone that still has a 3D capable tv, I remember thinking that Jupiter Rising was as good a demo piece for 3D as The Matrix was for upgrading from VHS to DVD...

The teenage fangirls who were sitting behind me disagree. I never would have expected squeals of excitement over Wong... 😆

I dare you to read a spinoff novel based on your favorite film/tv IP and see if publishers are as discerning as you seem to think they are. 😆

I’m sure superhero fatigue is a real thing.
I’m also pretty sure that it’s not as common as the people who have it would like to think it is...

The mother is the biggest hole in the whole film. Was Egon a deadbeat dad? Or did the mother take the daughter away and trash talk him? Given that Winston was keeping Ray afloat, it seems pretty likely that the mother took Callie away during the rough times when everyone was getting grouchy before Egon even moved out…

I enjoyed it, too! Yay for me!

It’s clearly a film dealing with legacy and heavily influenced by Jason Reitman’s experience of being a child on the set of the original.
If you can enjoy a movie *about* kids without dismissing it as “a kids movie,” you’ll probably be okay with it. I’d put it somewhere between Moonrise Kingdom and Super 8,…

To me it felt like the little bit of Ed was testing the waters...
If they get a second season and everyone hates her, they can use her sparingly for the first episode or two until her deal is dealt with, then she can go back to just sending texts. If people seem to like what they see, they can make her more of a…

AVC contributors may be too cool for a movie centered around kids, but I enjoyed it. The ending felt a little forced, but in a book it wouldn’t have, so that’s more a matter of different mediums having different tolerances for suspension of disbelief. Otherwise, I enjoyed the characters and story. I’m not going to let…

My take, now having seen the film:

... Ghostbusters wasn’t made to be a kids movie. This whole article seems to be based around treating it like a deliberately gross kids movie, whick is just... Wrong. It was a film for adults that had a concept that was accessible enough to kids to get a cartoon, just like the R-rated Rambo and Robocop. (Maybe the…

Based on the trailer, it makes me wonder if the horror is that there’s an actual hybrid (and all the possible implications thereof), or is the horror that this woman is hallucinating this baby goat as human as a way of dealing with the loss of her own child? And giving me the feeling that the film might be crafted in…

I guess it depends on what you mean by “takes the cartoon seriously.”

That’s only happening less now because we’re more willing to keep trying to reboot things now.
...but even with the reboots, I’m not sure many of today’s 10 year olds will necessarily recognize a Thundercats reference, unless their parents bought the dvds.

Mazinger Z was dubbed into Tranzor Z in ‘85, so as far as American kids were concerned, it was an 80s giant robot.

I’m pretty sure that was intended as an excited fist pump.

Getting the right amount of humor is tough, given “the right amount” will probably vary from person to person. Having grown up with the films, and even more so, the cartoon, I tend to think of the franchise as more “fantastic adventure with comedic undertones” more than straight-up comedy to begin with. The comics…

This is the most I’ve enjoyed American Horror Story in YEARS, so of course we don’t get episode recaps to dish over. Instead they got wasted on the incredibly boring American Horror Stories. 😢

Some looked like it’ll be neat, and some looked like it’ll be dumb but probably visually neat, which is about all I can hope for in an anthology.  I’ll be curious to see if any of it gets adopted into canon.

This was the first episode where I liked the voice direction. Hopefully it stays better.

For a while I was guessing sabotage by Hydra within SHIELD (and at various moments wondered if the main twist was Black Widow or Coulson being a Hydra agent).
