As much as people hate on the show, it does have its high points. There are always a handful of really strong episodes most seasons, but it also wastes so much of its potential. It's also painful to watch whenever the writers try to explore "deep" themes because they're clearly not smart enough to pull it off. For me,…

Secretly the public is just racist against blue people.

Even though I bailed on the comic, I still watch the show when it hits Netflix. It usually shows up around October, and it's fun Halloween viewing. Even still, it usually takes me a couple of months to make it through an entire season.

Is the comic book version of The Walking Dead really "less-frustrating"? I think I read the first ten volumes or so and then bailed, because it became clear that Kirkman's just not a very good writer and the story started to get repetitive. The show shares plenty of the same problems as the comic, but at least it has…

Don't give whoever's trying to remake the Crow at this instance (because you know someone's making the attempt as I type) any ideas.

Fuck you, Sony.

It's not so much that the plot is difficult as it is the motivations were unclear. I didn't hate the movie, but I didn't think it was good either.

The first film was pretty dumb, but I'm glad people recognize that the mountainside cliff chase was a thing of beauty. Hell, it's a far better action scene than I've ever seen Michael Bay put together.

But…but…it's the Schoolhouse Rock of this generation!

There's the old cliche of actors saying that what they really want to do is direct. Sometimes it seems like what directors really want to do is write. And they really underestimate how difficult it is.

This was even worst with the sequel. Battling hordes of CGI monsters just gets a bit old after a while. I was happy that Captain America 3 changed the formula some.

Actually, the idea that they gave Wolverine's jacket an origin story is the kind of stupid idea that makes me want to watch this dumb movie.

Twice!

Yeah, but Xavier also died in the third film. I think it was just one more way for Singer to say "fuck you" to Brett Ratner.

One aspect of these movies that I find hilarious is that they are obsessed with providing origin stories for characters' hair. In X-Men we discover why Rogue has skunked hair even though this is an actual medical condition. You don't necessarily need to explain it. In Apocalypse we learn why Storm has white hair. And…

I had nearly the exact same experience watching X2 in the theaters. There's that little pause Wolverine does before impaling the soldier, and I expected him to hit him over the head or tell him to get out of here, but no, he fucking kills the guy.

The X-Men movies aren't afraid to show the gruesome effects of superpowers. Just in X-Men: Apocalypse, we see someone's body crushed into the shape of a box, people decapitated by dust, and a bunch of men melted into the floor.

Oh, I'll definitely get around to it. There are just so many superhero films, and man cannot survive on superheroes alone. Hell, I might even check out the first Wolverine movie just to see why everyone hates it.

As a kid, Age of Apocalypse blew my freakin' mind.

I thought Apocalypse was a solid if uneven film. Singer brings more of a director's eye to the proceedings that we normally get from the MCU films. He does a lot of work with foreground and background for instance. Unfortunately, Apocalypse just isn't that interesting of a character. (Fourteen year old me would be…
