Definitely agreed. I think The Hobbit films are very imperfect, but as a whole, they’re heads and shoulders above the average Hollywood blockbuster, and actually have some decent depth and development to them. Unfortunately, the comparison to the near perfect Lord of the Rings trilogy is what really sinks it for a lot…

“Tripping on grass”?! Heh.

Holy hell. Somebody on this site actually watched the movie rather than either complaining about the book or complaining that the movie didn’t include their favorite parts of the book. I’ve never read the book, so I got to watch the movie on its own terms. Most of the themes that people kept whining about in their…

Deepest Easter Egg: Steven Spielberg fully rejecting auteur theory. It’s true Stephen King hated the film version of the Shining (which was directed by Stanley Kubrick), but in order for a “creator to hate his own creation,” you must accept that the story writer - and not the director - is the true author of a film.…

A fanboy knows a hater.

I feel like this is a good sentiment but you give terrible examples.

Legends of Tomorrow: “Elvis invented Rock and Roll”
Chuck Berry’s Ghost: “Bullshit!”

Why doesn’t anyone talk about that really funny moment when no one moves and is waiting for a patented Sarah mission quip. “Ok, everyone put on your Sunday best because we are going to church.” then everyone moves with a smiles on their faces.

That’s basically what I was going to say as well. Timeless addresses it, and Rufus has even mentioned how there are a whole lot of places/times in history where he wouldn’t exactly be welcomed. They’ve definitely addressed it a bit in their travels and encounters.

Or the “in memory of Axel” ending.

I think daily intelligence briefings may involve a box of crayons and a coloring book...

They really don’t. At this point, anything less than a hot stone massage seems to be harassment, it’s like people who haven’t ever had to do anything difficult and stressful in their lives are suddenly being given a platform to whine about any and all perceived slights when they themselves don’t have much in the way…

I’ve never felt like deja vu was about “predicting future”. It’s just a feeling of strong situational familiarity, when you’re in a situation you know you haven’t been in before. Is it really a common phenomenon that people experience this thinking, “I know what comes next?”

I have had de ja vu related to dreams I had in the past. I find myself in a place where the image is the same as an old dream. It is unsettling and maybe even just a mental illusion but still unsettling.

I swear I’ve heard this theory before.

Modern storytelling tends to be more character-driven (which the MCU understands). DC has struggled with this because they’ve always been more about the adventures and hijinks and wow factor of a universe with these powerful beings.

Although I love those movies and have them in VHS, DVD and Blu...

They don’t even have to look far for the solution:
