I thought Cuaron did a great job with the book’s plot, trimming what needed to be trimmed and emphasizing what was important and the Prisoner of Azkaban was an enjoyable experience on the whole. On the other hand, I hated the way that Cuaron stripped out the magical aspects from the aesthetic of the world and…

Wow, that is some serious 1st round talent for a movie like this. I really wonder how confident they were in its ability to be a ‘hit,’ considering their special effects budget appears to have been about $8.88, as evidenced by the scene of Rhys-Davies attempting to ‘lasso’ the bear.

Angela Bassett or Regina King.

That’s likely where I watch it late one weekend night when I can’t sleep even though it’s 2:30 a.m.

Well, I did engage in a bit of hyperbole.  Both of those were fairly straightforward.

I thought the notion that none of Hooded Justice’s colleagues would care about the whole Cyclops thing was a little contradictory. Admitting that we didn’t know enough about Captain Metropolis to really judge how he would have reacted, Moore wrote Hollis Mason as a generally virtuous figure who would have sympathized…

I don’t know.  David Lynch got love from the very beginning and I’ve yet to figure out what a single one of his movies is about.

Sure.  I would have liked to have seen their takes on characters like Dick Turpin or Varney or Sweeney Todd or others that were created by the writers during the Penny Dreadful era.  I can dig the notion of making it more diverse and exploring some of the horror legends of other cultures, but the series did not do a…

Yeah, when you call something Penny Dreadful, I kind of expect it to at least have something close to a vague connection to the original Penny Dreadful source material.

It was rushed. Didn’t Eva Green basically just quit and so they had to close everything out?

I have to agree.  Thanos and Rocket and Groot look like they were animated in completely different decades than Steppenwulf and Doomsday and this character.

Walking on the Sun was a good song.  Most of the rest of their oeuvre I can take or leave.

Allison’s power has always seemed weird to me, in that unlike anyone else’s in this world, it requires this semantic crutch to function.  I’m wondering if this is not something that Hargreaves inflicted on her with his lame attempt to be Professor X, which also resulted in him isolating and refusing to train his…

I actually thought the first actor they got to play Daario Naharis better fit the sort of shallow, flamboyant veneer of a human being than the second one did.  I’ve never gotten the impression that we are meant to be particularly impressed with book Daario and that Martin meant to portray her girlish infatuation with…

This isn’t really the butterfly effect. The butterfly effect theory of time travel will result in vast changes resulting from even the smallest changes in the past. Even having a passing interaction with a stranger will result in possibly massive changes to history because your interaction with that person will result…

All that being said, Smart needs to get a new hobby.  He was proven right years ago.  Now he’s just beating a dead horse.

I would say that Martin has to deal with a lot of established characters that the showrunners never did or handwaved away.  If he’s going with the notion that Ned Stark’s second son is going to be the one, he has to deal with the fact that Mace Tyrell doesn’t just have one son older than Loras and Margaery, he has two…

2.) I’m not sure if you can really say he doesn’t care about Lady Stoneheart.  She is basically the end scene of the first part of the two-part last book, if that makes any sense.  So obviously, something will have to be resolved with her even if it’s Brienne managing to somehow kill her and the rest of her band.

It’s unusual to hate Daybreakers.  I mean, I can see mildly disliking it or mildly liking it, but it seems like too slight a work to actively hate.
