don’t you mean your jellicles

Hating this is beyond just hating musicals. 

“The problem with the new Lion King is that the animals just aren’t expressive enough”

Man I hate musicals.

I’d agree with that to some extent, while noting that, say, The Twilight Zone film has 4 chapters, not 22, hehe.

And it’s not a particularly complimentary comparison for your Biblical drama when the closest in structure to it is less other Biblical epics, and more sketch comedies or horror anthologies like Kentucky…

My biggest problem is HOW did the Russians have the ability to move that many men and that much materiel into the middle of Indiana without anyone noticing? Hollow Earth? Did they teleport? Drove me nuts.

I actually had the had the opposite reaction. I was actually ready to be pissed off thinking that they were going to kill the flesh flayer then all the people were somehow going to reincorporate out of the sludge. I’m glad they stuck to the dark tone. It was in keeping with the influences of films like The Thing, Invas…

I understand the criticism but as long as the show doesn’t radically change I’m OK with the episode, I just put it to the side with a few others that don’t exactly make sense. With Charlie Work they wanted a single shot focused on one actor for half the runtime, with Mac Finds His Pride they wanted half the show to be…

That may be, but if there’s one thing we know about child actors, it’s that in ten years any one of us is likely to be living a much, much better life.

One takeaway from all the Dark Phoenix hate is how much it’s made clear that fans of X-Men and the MCU still have faith in the X-Men franchise.  For me, I’m more excited that X-Men is out of FOX’s hands than I am disappointed in Dark Phoenix.  

The Brood, the race that even 8-year-old me could identify as “I think somebody really wanted Alien in X-Men.”

You ABSOLUTELY hit the nail on the head with regards to why the print version of TDPS saga worked.

Superhero movies could use more Silver Age weirdness and less 90s/00s overplotting.

I know you’re (most likely) not serious when you say this is something you’d like to see done, but - No. Gross!

Yep. Count me as one who didn’t enjoy all of Up. It’s been a while, but I thought the tone got muddled along the way.

I love Pixar, but that felt a little too Shrek-y. And that’s not a good thing.

Good Omens doesn’t give us that much to invest in when we’re not watching Aziraphale and Crowley verbally sparring or wining and dining each other.

It’s interesting that Sublime has had much more mainstream staying power than their cornier white guy reggae brothers in arms, 311. I still hear Sublime songs on the radio frequently, but I rarely, if ever hear 311 songs anymore.

I always thought there was a kernel of a great idea in Sublime, but it only came out in flashes. Also, I always felt you could tell when they didn’t know how to end a song cause they would just turn on the drum machine and sample out.
