I don't like it because, much like some of the things in the Prequels, it causes the universe of Star Wars to get smaller. There is already a tendency for everything in these movies to be connected. It's bad enough that Luke and Obi-Wan live on the same planet that Anakin originally lived on or that Anakin originally…

I know someone working for VMware, and he thinks if they had paid for product placement it would have been announced internally. It's probably just what was on the machines.

"Zack's a great visual director."

Truth is, this is not about war. This is about the fact that the Navy has traditions and procedures in place to ensure the day to day safety of the entire crew. Some traditions are old. They do nothing more than reinforce formality, respect, and tradition. Some traditions (formalities) reinforce that fact that all…

A Batman/Superman film SHOULD be in the Top 10 Films of All Time. The potential there is so great you can feel the air humming with the anticipation.

But Snyder ain't the guy to do it. He's only got one 'color' (emo gritty) in his paintbox and a Batman/Superman movie screams for lots of different tones and hues. …

The Red Wedding shocked me. The Purple Wedding satisfied me. The Viper getting his skull crushed like a watermelon bound for Gallagher's hammer broke me.

yeah, she's going to look totally unbelievable next to the super human alien and man in a bat costume.

My favorite interpretation of the new movies is the Big Trouble in Little China theory, which is that Quinto's Spock, like Wang, is the real hero of the story — he's intelligent, he's devoted to his work, he saves everybody's bacon, and he gets the girl, while Kirk is just an abrasive dumb-dumb who follows him around…

Nearly half of affected children were boys, and 51% were girls.

I don't have a lot to say here, so I'll just let Numfar handle this one for me:

I submit to you: Pacific Rim. Clever bait-and-switch. Convince producers you have a Handsome White Male Protagonist, then a quarter of the way into the movie BAM HE'S NOT THE PROTAGONIST IS THE POINT-OF-VIEW SECONDARY PROTAGONIST WHO SERVES TO HIGHLIGHT THE POC WOMAN WHO IS THE REAL PROTAGONIST HAHAHAHA. And so many…

There are parts of my country (India) where parents deny their children education simply for being female, or because they think their children would be more productive working in fields. This is less common than it once was. But surely you see that parents don't necessarily have their children's best interests in…

Why? If they're taking a Comparative Religion class in a public school, that's a good thing. The more education the better.

If they're being taught religion as "fact" then by default they are not in a public school, and since I would not have knowingly sent my kids to a religious private school, you bet I'd pull them…

Y'know what I've always wanted to see from Star Wars is Leia's side of the story. I mean, what the hell — she's the same age as Luke, right? But while he's whining about power converters, she's smuggling the plans to the Death Star, mouthing off to Darth Vader, and telling Grand Moff Tarkin he stinks.

I have a friend who rates movies by "stars" and "popcorn buckets".

One made by actual geeks:

In the 4th Doctor episodes, it's revealed that a Time Lord can regenerate into whatever they want to.

For a bit, I thought I was simply debating someone with a different opinion than mine.

Here is why you are wrong.
