Even if I wasn’t interested in the rest of the film (I am), I’d be seeing this for Reznor’s music after he did such a phenomenal job on HBO’s Watchmen.

Yep. If Hans Zimmer is the king of the moody score, Giachino is John William’s successor as king of melodic scores.

Giacchino’s work on Star Trek is unparalleled. 

It’s not a matter of “better,” just a matter of preference. Where people go wrong is when they think their way is the only way, and flip out when a show/movie doesn’t meet those expectations. For example, my issues with GoT have nothing to do with my internal version, because I knew the show would never be close to…

Trump’s campaign misusing a meme doesn’t so much concern me as Trumpo trying to pull literal Nazi shit with an executive order declaring Judaism to be a nationality. Not only is this continuing Trump’s anti-semitic “Jews = Israel” stance, but it’s also another step in justifying deporting Jews. Because if Jews are a…

The premiere was great. This episode deserved a C though. It really was one of the worst episodes of Rick and Morty ever. Some episodes in Season 3 were just as weak though. So it’s not like this show has ever been particularly consistent.

Completely agree. This review was so well-written, really top-shelf tv writing. It made a clear, nuanced case for why this ep didn’t land in ways non-nerds could understand.

I feel like people want to protect themselves from admitting this season has been mediocre and way inferior to the show’s earlier years - and we waited over two years for it.

People have mentioned before that the ratings for this show have been a bit skewed on this site and I’ve mostly disagreed — but now I honestly can’t say they’re wrong after this one. How you feel about this episode is entirely subjective (imo i thought worst one from this batch so far), but literally half of the…

My personal peak-tv bubble has already burst. As the shows that I started following 5+ years ago have begun ending, I’ve found it increasingly difficult to commit to anything new. There is just too much to choose from, and not enough information out there about each one to help. I’ve more often gone back to channel…

I’m not embarassed that I used to listen to Moby. Play was pretty much the only album that I listened to for half of 2000, the other one being Radiohead’s Kid A.

I’d have absolutely no need for this, or even a place where it could be proudly displayed ... but I want this SO bad.

Please pay attention to more than one episode of the show.

So a flawed, entitled, vindictive, damaged pyromaniac with delusions of grandeur and genocidal impulses that were for years constantly and only barely stemmed by those around her, and who finally succumbed to those urges when those people were either dead or she no longer trusted due to her also having a soupçon of…

No, the character will go insane for reasons that were well-established, but the audience will be so enamored of said character that they will overlook those reasons and blame the writers for it.

The last 2 seasons, they’ve been operating without GRRM’s material, and have completely dropped the ball. They are failing to explain motivations (why did Dany lose it and burn the city? The “seeing the red keep” excuse from after the thrones didn’t explain her rage well enough at all), constantly changing the rules…

Was Red Son Superman all that evil. I thought the story was about how instead of American ideals he embraced communist Russia ideals. Has been a while since I read it though. 

I enjoyed Red Son, too.

I feel like I’e already read the “What if Superman Were Evil” comic a million times. Every 3rd rate comic writer thinks he has his own spin on it, but 3 issues in they’ve usually written themselves into a corner.
Even in this, which looks good, what’s the drama? The kid kills everybody. Nothing can stop him. The end.

Yeah, that and when she asks Coulson about the bomb he attaches to the door of Stane’s lab “Oh, wow! What’s that? It’s, like, a little device? It’s, like, a thing that’s going to pick the lock?”
