Obviously they all haven’t been trash, but I’m convinced that even Aliens’ script wouldn’t be as good if Bill Paxton wasn’t delivering some of those lines.

any sense of physics or reality

Aquaman had a decent script?

Most of those make us go faster. Their sea cars seemed to make them go slower. 

Glad it’s maintaining most of the same feel but I thought the first season was an improvement on the book. I hope Gaiman doesn’t exert too much control.

Are you telling me that the people responsible for Wrath of the Titans and Gangster Squad might not be the best writers?

Er, Cameron has done more than make a few underwater movies. He builds and pilots deep-sea submarines between films, so he really does know the physics of the ocean. Does that mean we should get his opinion on every water movie? Ehhhhh. Maybe, not. But it is rare to interview someone who has been at the bottom of the…

To be fair, one of the problems I had with Aquaman was the lack of consistent physics or rules. Things just kinda happened because it was time for them to happen in the plot, with no coherent reason. It’s ok for movies to do stuff for “rule of cool” reasons. But when almost every scene does that, it kinda sucks.

It was my first (and really only since I’m not a big sci fi/fantasy person) exposure to Neil Gaiman, and it made me go “wait, he’s insanely popular?” Like the book was fun and all, but it wasn’t my favorite. Suppose I ought to check out Sandman tho

it was a really stupid looking movie, though

Armond White. Perfect opportunity to try and drag his ass out of obscurity.

No. He may be kind of a blowhard, but he’s also made some amazing films. Also, none of his comments above are incorrect, really. Despite the article’s incessant snark, the fact is that in Aquaman, it just doesn’t look like they’re underwater. Characters don’t move right; they just look like they’re flying through the…

“Not worth it!”

Is there anyone who’s actually excited for an Avatar sequel, never mind four of them?

So if we’re getting back to the book I assume there’s going to be half a dozen episodes of Shadow pointlessly wandering around a small town eating meat pies while complaining about the cold.

That’s unfortunate. Didn’t like the book at all but enjoyed the leprechaun’s, the gay jinn’s, and Betty Gilpin’s expanded arcs in the show. I guess that’s it for them, then.

I just told this story on Twitter a few weeks ago, but back in college, I was hanging out with a friend and he started playing “Blackbird” on the guitar. I started singing the words and he stopped and said “What are you singing???” He had just learned the riff from another guitarist and didn’t realize it was an actual…

Um, I think that is pretty much the actual main plot conflict of this movie. 

I was sold until James Corden showed up. Jesus Christ, we’re gonna have to hear him fucking sing in this, too, aren’t we??

Honestly, as a brown man, even in 2019, it’s an overwhelming feeling to see a brown man star in a movie by a huge director like Danny Boyle, without the story having explicit ties to his Indian-ness.
