Yeah Brooks finally does something new and interesting with the exhausted zombie genre and the movie throws every bit of it overboard.  SO disappointing because the descriptions in the novel would so vivid that translating them for screen would hardly be a heavy lift.  

Because His Dark Materials proved it can be successful? I seriously think it’s that simple. And while we’re on the subject, one that I’m really hoping for is Bonfire of the Vanities.

Probably because an 8-hour series is a much better match for the amount of content in a lot of novels than a 2-hour movie.

The better question is “why do we keep trying to cram an entire book into two hours and then being surprised when it doesn’t work?”

A lot of the time when a movie adaptation doesn’t work it’s because they cut the wrong stuff out, or too much. But to get a good sized novel into a 2 hour movie you have to cut out a lot, like 75%. The nice part about a TV adaptation is you don’t.  Now you could still screw it up. But at least the format is no longer…

Paying in advance for delivery using a credit card has ruined all our sex lives.

Henry would rather return to his Warhammer and video games rather than spending extra hours doing gratuitous sex scenes in the movies.

Has he been to the movies lately? There are hardly ever sex scenes in movies these days and, even less frequently, do they actually show even brief nudity.

It’s pretty clear this isn’t talking about a well choreographed fight scene. They’re talking about an over-choreographed and gratuitous fight scene--which there’s a whole lot of out there.

Who the fuck let my dad comment here? Someone get him back to his girlfriend before he hurts himself.

This was 11 years AFTER we had to deal with Dennis Franz’ bare ass in NYPD Blue. We all lived through that.

“Kragle is the mind-killer. Kragle is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my Kragle. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the Kragle has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain”

Still obsessed about a Black woman’s nipple? 

The Grammys, it’s said, never honors its dead

At this point I think there should just be a feature titled “What Did Taylor Swift Do With Her Face Today To Upset People?”

Am I the only one who finds it obnoxious that this article and others basically seems to say “you’re accepting awards wrong!”

Getting a sex addict to play Franklin is some inspired casting.

Please explain how you’d like her to handle winning an award according to your exacting specifications.

“Narratives we absolutely have no hand in perpetuating, even right now as we give air time to the narratives”

Bryce Dallas Howard is pretty.

If they really want to be realistic they need an autistic student who is continually terrorized by the faculty (who refuse to follow the IEP in place) until he finally gets arrested by an SRO and ends up in the school-t0-prison pipeline.
