Man…I mean, MAN, look at this doofus. This is your kung fu hero? Why? Just why? With a multi-million dollar budget and unlimited resources…they decide that 1970s Uncle Molester is the best fit for this role? What the hell? "America isn't ready for an Asian protagonist!" could have only been their thinking, which is…

I remember being 12, being cynical, especially because my older brother was a teenager. "Under the Sea" was "Watch Us Pee", Pocahontas was "Poke My Hontas". It was neither me nor my brother at our best, but c'mon, we were tweens. But while my brother was a teenager beyond worth saving, I was still just a kid. Mom knew…

Alamo Drafthouse: huge screen, perfect image, funny pre-movie movies, diverse company, real food with waiter service, butt-rumbling sound, possibly 3D…an event . Netflix: probably some crappy old something or other you remember hearing about five years ago and stumbled upon after over half an hour of scrolling through…

Hey, alright! Most of the series is still up on You Tube! I thought they might have been scrubbed out once Netflix got their greasy red paws on the franchise.

The Flash accelerated too fast. This early on in a series, we have a TON of goodguy speedsters, a TON of badguy speedsters, and they're all hyper powerful. The main character is already so mighty this early on that he can time travel at will, and his geeky lab friend can and does operate as multidimensional hub every…

To my American ears, Spike and Drusilla always had great accents. Far better than Angel's sad, faltering Irish. But were they any good? Do UK viewers think Spike sounded like some kind of caricature?

The Mayor is my personal favorite. It's the fact that he's a genuinely nice, upstanding guy that sells it—not sarcastically nice, not pretend upstanding. I guess I'm just sick of the smug, grinning villain who puts on a smile as a means to be that much more cruel. The Mayor's smile wasn't cruel—it was sincere, which…

I feel pretty bad for him. Reading up, it sounds like conventions are pretty much his whole career at this point. And he admits to having drinking and legal problems, and man, it really sounds like he's one terrible drunk. Out of the whole cast, he's the one still really clinging hard to this franchise. But hey, he…

I feel bad for the guy. By most accounts he and Amber Benson are best friends, and they even had a serious relationship for quite a while. It reminds me of an interview with Tom Felton I once saw, where they asked how people on the street responded to seeing him. "Booo! Leave Harry alone!"

Oh hey, it's Kevin Sorbo! I already knew he was a big, defensive right winger, but fine. And here's more Dean Cain! Good ol' Dean! Who, googling reveals, is a right wing Trump supporter…crap! Well, whatever. They're allowed to believe what they want, and they're making their living right now off a show that runs…

Considering how much culture Japan generates, they really don't generate much "substantial" cinema culture, do they? I can't honestly think of the last great movie that came out Japan. S. Korea? Oh, absolutely! They have had so many fantastic movies over the past decade! So many!

I love this movie so much. It's maybe my favorite of all time. And it's maybe my favorite because I believe in and support the main characters. To me there's the cynical way to take it—that they're doomed to repeat a failed relationship over and over. But me? I prefer the hopeful scenario—where they bravely try to…

I freely admit I dressed a lot like Xander in high school—lots of baggy, sometimes busy shirts worn open over undershirts. What drives me nuts about him, though is he how he wore his bag wrong in the 'high school seasons'. On many occasions, he wore his over-the-shoulder messenger bag with the actual bag on the front,…

So should we or should we not judge characters by past actions? According to your original post, Mon El should only be judged by his intent according to each individual episode, while his actions in other episodes should be discarded…Act as he may in one episode, so long as he acts differently in another episode all…

"In no way did he interfere?" He made a whole speech! He recruited his girlfriend's friends against her! That's not inferring? And once again, you're playing into this trap that the "masculine" Mon El is totally right because he's inherently more logical than the "feminine" Kara. Just let it go? YES, because in all…

Man, Uber is crashing and burning lately in so many ways…which, honestly, makes those of us in Austin snicker more than a little.
"Oh no!" we say. "This godawful company with every horrible problem under the sun has LEFT us! Poor us for not having this pariah in our midst!"

Thinking you're allowed to make sweeping decisions that drastically affect a woman's relationship with her family without talking to her about it IS possessiveness. Even your're ultimately kinda right, taking measures to spy on your girlfriend's family because they rub you the wrong way IS possessiveness. And what,…

If we're to factor in his story, then Mon El's history of always being possessive and controlling must always factor in. Can you really excuse and justify his behavior from just one week ago? Also, he takes the default position here and elsewhere that he needs to protect his girlfriend from her inherent naivete with…

Mm, I still don't think the show is doing what they think they're doing with Mon'El…he still comes across as a horrible creep to me. I guess the message of tonight's episode was that he was totally right for being aggressively possessive, jealous, and judgmental based on a hunch….but he decided not to gloat, so he's a…

I got weekly texts for several years from Payless after being sent out to buy a bottle of white shoe polish to write on the car windows for my uncle's wedding. I escaped them eventually, but even now, every month or so my cell provider texts me an ad for the "latest deal on the latest smart phone! Text X to stop ads!"…
