Yea, I have never seen the good wife but seems like it was a poor writing choice then malice against Josh Charles, who to be fair needed to be released lest he be prevented from his new job of supporting roles in absurd single camera sitcoms. To me something vindictive would be Pierces death on community. A touching…

Thanks for that I am constantly hearing how fantastic the cantos is but only that followed by criticism of the end or Simmons as a writer. I will say I am more intrigued and likely to give it a read now but still hesitant as already so many series and universes I have to keep track of.

Probably, it’s most likely at the same stage of development as that Snow Crash and Diamond Age series’s over at Syfy. Honestly I much prefer a cool unique sci-fi show by a TV writer for television rather then yet another adaptation of something so reliant on being a book, like cloud atlas. That being said Blade Runner…

Not to delve to much into national stereotypes but are Russians truly so bleak and nihilistic that they believe being associated with a pedophile murder clown who is the physical embodiment of evil in the world is a good marketing tactic? Not judging, just want to make sure its the paradise I have been promised before…

I guess it depends movies in general are a bit questionable, but the dark tower was his self confessed life’s work and he has always been fairly open about how he feels about an adaptation regardless of how popular or in line it is, i.e his hatred of the Shining which is considered one of the greatest horror movies of…

Yea that has to be one of the most idiotic adaptation choices in movie history. I am stuck in the middle of the series but the key thing is not only Roland ceaseless pursuit of the Dark Tower itself but also the importance of the dark tower to the existence of the multiverse. I get having reboot Roland maybe not be as…

Potentially, I also wouldn’t be surprised if given Goldsmith’s utterly terrible research and writing that this was his take on the series. There are countless examples of the more flash big budget hollywood types totally misreading certain works and emphasis the wrong thing or taking what fans love most and showing…

Yea the FCC only regulates broadcast, cable stations can do whatever they want but tend to be semi conservative to still be open to advertisers. That’s why you still can’t say shit on NBC for example but its been becoming more and more common in cable since that South Park episode 17, jesus christ am I old, years ago.…

My money is on Somali pirates before they even get close.

Exactly, they also are good at finding scapegoats and continuing the beliefs, I think its the Christian Scientist, don’t quite me on that, who orginated from a doomsday cult called the Millerites who just kicked out founder and said the concept was good the math was just janky and to just never try and solve it.

Semi-serious answer is it is a combination of both the dumbing down of the population, in terms of less funding for education, general promotion of faux right wing outrage and distrust of authority, and huge advocating of a biblical world view that emphasis humanity and its importance over all else.

I forget if it was discussed here or another thread, but apparently the Attack of the Clones was a stolen vhs copy or something along those lines that he reported on and wasn’t even finished. Whether it was true or not just one of about a hundred things no real critic or credible commentator would do.

Can’t say I am sad about this development, we have been talking for the last two days about what a fucking garbage person he was, the question is was this a straw that broke the camels back, standing with the victim, or the sadly likely and common story of they knew things and feel comfortable to act now that it is…

Without science most of the major risks of human and global extinction we face couldn’t exist, nuclear weapons, global warming, idiots not taking antibiotics and creating super diseases antibiotics can’t cure.

If nothing else we will get a gratuitous and hilarious cameo given Capaldi still owes him for not directing an episode of Veep.

Probably using it in the more American sense. Elton certainly got weird and surreal, but nothing compared to the depths of absurdity and strangeness The Day Today , and if we are talking about Morris Brass Eye and Jam, which for me seemed much more a forebearer of 90's alt comedy that was going on here in America.

On the bright side Hooray! another lost film restored for our viewing pleasure! On the downside this fest will never be the same again, pretty tone deaf response and seemingly not a great response to the outrage and misinformation.

Yea, while it seems that there is some misinfo about the Ed Wood film it seems like the real issue is some of the awkward tone deaf choices in dealing with the controversy. That probably has helped some rumors and legitimate criticism about showing porn at this fest explode on the twitter sphere

Truly, how else could I value something unless an internet celebrity states how it matches their non-entertainment criteria. I can’t wait to hear him rip apart something with real errors like House of Cards, they say this joker named Garret Walker was elected in 2012, instead of Obama. I sure hope some one was fired…

Well fuck that guy for overtaking someones obituary
