To be fair, when I worked in downtown Cleveland, that pretty much did happen. That could be because it was downtown Cleveland, though.

For the most part, it wasn’t a catastrophe. There seems to be this revisionist view of the show that it always sucked, but those first four (or so) seasons were amazingly good. And as much as people want to shit on Benioff and Weiss, they actually made (or at least presided over) some really good changes within the…

I think one of the smartest things Sanderson has done is say from the beginning Stormlight Archives is going to be 10 books.

I strongly disliked the use of the backdrops because they don’t look like anything other than backdrops. It made the miniseries feel more like a stage play. I don’t know if Children of Dune used more location shooting or just happened to do the backdrops better, but the desert scenes were way more realistic.

Are you sure about that? Most of the criticism I read/heard of The Force Awakens is that it followed A New Hope beat for beat. Sure, there were also complaints about the new characters being as likable or memorable, but the fact that it played like a retread was front and center.

Right, and after the last ship has evacuated, Leia tells Poe to bring his squad back so they can leave. Poe refuses the order and launches the second wave of the attack, and that forces the fleet to stay in the system longer until the attack is over.

The problem with Poe and the bombers is that if he HADN’T gone through with the plan, the Raddus would have been destroyed before it even got into hyperspace.

If you’re genuinely incensed by the idea that a man in his sixties might be very different from the same man in his twenties...

And he’s got some major champions in his corner, too, including Kathleen Kennedy...

I tried reading the series a few years ago. I made it two books in before I just couldn’t take Rand al’Thor’s whining anymore. Does he at any point suck it up and just do what needs to be done without going on about how unfair it is?

I’d be right there with you if it weren’t for the fact that these morons are going to be breeding grounds for new, more virulent strains of the virus that are possibly vaccine-resistant.

I know he “co-wrote” the NUMA Files books with other folks, and the more recent Dirk Pitt books were allegedly co-written with his son. Did he actually write the stuff that’s solely credited to him or was it James Pattersoned as well?

Curious why a link to the TV commercial in question was included. Here it is.

That is an epically dumb music video.

Good point. I just can’t see one of those "patriots" strapping on a bomb vest and exploding themselves for the cause.

He also did an Honest Trailers in which he first trashed CinemaSins and then talked about things he actually felt were mistakes in his own movie.

You got it, slugger!

I’ll point out that Douglas Adams always referred to his Hitchhiker’s Guide series as a trilogy even after it exceeded three books, but I don’t actually think Snyder is on that level.

I also don't think it's impossible to do a Justice League movie that introduces, like, half the characters. The animated series managed to do it in three episodes (total runtime of just over an hour), and only Batman and Superman had previously had their own shows. I get that there are different expectations for an…

I also thought he looked overall less swole. It makes sense; it's hardly worth bulking up like that again for a scene that only lasts a few minutes. (Also, the suit can hide his decreased bulk in the Knightmare sequence.)
