WHUT!?

I REALLY want this movie to be good. The games were basically Indiana Jones in all of the best ways, like you were playing a movie.

True! I feel like there’s an intentional level of camp here, I’m just keeping my fingers crossed it’s dialed in just right

I’m sure the movie will be fun, but I have to agree. I really, really liked the Amazonian (i.e. Pseudo-Greek) armour they gave Diana in BvS and Wonder Woman. It really worked, giving her a sort of warrior’s dignity. This...is something else. I’m hoping for limited use and maybe an in-universe explanation for why it’s…

Same. I’ll see this one, all in likelihood, because I grew up on the X-Movies: from the 2000s pleather-clad trailblazers to the McAvoy and Fassbender “will-they-or-won’t-they?”adventures. I wan’t a finale, darn it!

Definitely designed to be “family-friendly”! I saw this movie when I was a kid and just loved the gooey explosions of technicolour snot. Children are..simple creatures.

I really wanted to like the Sanderson books, and the pacing was much improved, but they did feel like fanfiction! Writing felt off, and some of the choices felt like they were too ‘cool’ (TM) for Jordan’s style.

Well, “it’s time to roll the dice.”

I hope the TV show, with a showrunner who already knows the major plot beats for all fifteen books, offers the opportunity for an exhilarating reworking of the series that highlights all of Wheel of Time’s amazing stories while cutting the bloat. Fingers bloody crossed!

I would vote with a few more of the first two seasons - I loved “Mole Hunt”! Anything with Woodhouse, or the whole miniseries Archer: Dreamland.

Well, Batman and Catwoman better tie the know now, goshdarmit!

And every secret human is a secret clone.

That’s a lot of robots!

I can’t tell if this is going to be any good yet, but I’m really hoping that when Mackenzie Davis’ character says “I am human” she actually means it:

Terminator: every character is now a secret robot..

Exactly. In many cases, it ‘works’ (to an extent) in text, but is especially difficult to adapt to screen. A love story on film requires chemistry, time on camera together, and genuine dialogue. Pairing that with a high concept action-adventure film is...challenging.

Ry’ac! Come here, boy!

WAIT, THIS IS LIVE ACTION?

Oh, wow, for some reason I didn’t know it was going to be on cable— worse, Showtime.

Very true! I was pleased, and surprised, at how deft the little team-bonding moments were. Each ranger’s character was sketched out in a sensitive way, and their relationship felt real and rewarding. (I’m thinking in particular of the ‘dessert fork-jousting contest.’ ;)
