I'm ready to walk out the door within five minutes, so your 15 minutes is definitely a long time from my perspective even if it is brief for you.

I imagine the venue just doesn't want to appear to be targeting only women, thus distancing the male demographic.

Any word on the many deleted scenes from the first film that essentially completely changed Parker's arc and the implications of his father's work with OsCorp? Was any of it ever released on any of the video releases?

Rattata is definitely adorable, but Raticate is a badass Pokémon with those huge incisors. I keep rats, so I enjoy both of them.

The problem is that the film portrays the Persians, who still exist as an ethnic and cultural group, as dark-skinned, paganistic barbarians while the white male Greeks are heroes.

Dressing as a geisha is probably one of the least offensive things a performer can do. While still problematic, I would not go so far as to label Katy Perry a racist.

I recalled your second example, but completely forgot about the cannibal family. That was a genuinely creepy episode.

Oh, yeah; Yoshi's Story was fun, but definitely very easy and brief.

My favorite dystopian sci-fi city is Dinohattan from the live-action Super Mario Bros. movie.

I thought it was made pretty clear that Dr. Manhattan could prevent the future if he so chose, but ultimately did not because he was so far removed from his humanity by the point of the comic's story.

Beautiful concept art, but I never cared for the movie.

In my experience Yoshi's Island was one of the most difficult early Mario platformers in terms of 100% completion.

It's very easy to accumulate lives in a Super Mario Bros. title so long as you know how to collect coins and not die. If you don't want to use all of the lives you accumulate than simply don't die.

Those costumes seem to fit the Marvel aesthetic moreso than the DC.

I really can't tell what's going on... The kids command the Avengers using Digivices?

What were the main changes, might I ask?

Yeah, the CG/mo-capped Orcs was completely unnecessary. I know that Jackson wanted to demonstrate how alien they are from the other races, but I never got the impression from the books that Orcs were alien at all.

That scene did look CG to me, but I have no idea what liquid gold looks like. It could easily be a case of "reality is unrealistic."

I disagree. There was not a single moment in the entire film where the CG looked poor to me. Even the orcs were notably improved over their appearance in the previous Hobbit film.

Patrick Neil Harris?
