Apparently not nearly as well as he wanted to be.

Interesting. I like the thought, but super hard to put on screen without the first act sending everyone to sleep.

I'm definitely putting it on the re-watch list, then!

I don't know that I believe that "dark" is inherently bad for children (and I say that as the former wimpiest child ever, who still doesn't handle certain types of scares well). But I do think the genre we're talking about requires an overall sense of joy and fun, with just a touch of darkness for depth and contrast.…

Eh. I don't know that I have any great answers for you. I will say that:

It's absolutely still possible for a good movie of this type to be made. I know that I'm further down in the comments poo-pooing The Goonies as being a crappy movie, but it's crappy on its own merits, not because there's anything inherently wrong with the idea of going on an adventure with your friends looking for…

Alternate theory: it's just barely possible that these movies have currently disappeared from the current zeitgeist because they, in the strictest sense, mostly suck.

Actually, such laws already exist. Fortunately, non-existent negative results based on the unsupported claims of anti-science assholes (like yourself) don't count.

I am prepared to argue that long, blonde hair is an iconic part of her look, in a way that isn't true of most blonde superheroines (except Carol Danvers). Same as how most are drawn with big breasts, but the only superheroine who must have big breasts is Power Girl.

Hey, you're speaking to someone who owns a nearly complete run of Kamandi, Last Boy on Earth. I'm not judging.

I grow more and more tempted to say "fuck you, you don't vaccinate your kids, you can't go to public school or Disneyland or concerts or anywhere else where lots of people gather, on penalty of law on grounds of endangering the public". Problem is,

... did it get made, and if so, what was it?

A.K.A, not being Great Art isn't the same thing as being without worth.

Where would we all be without decent B-grade scifi and horror movies? The world would be a much poorer place without Resident Evil, Mortal Kombat, Thirteen Ghosts, Predator 2... or at least, my world would be.

And now that I rewatch the promo, both of his names are all over it. Apparently I was more asleep than I thought while watching the show real time.

That was Hartley in the promo for next week? Ohhhh, that explains the scooped up by man in a leather bodysuit joke. </sideyes the CW>

... *sheepishly raises hand* I'm sure it's partially the black-and-white photo, but at first glance he looked to me like an albino person of color.

My reaction to any spoiler Latino Review ever prints: "So, that's one more possibility to scratch off the list."

1. One of the reasons why women tend to plan pregnancies and men are chill about them is that women are always on a countdown. Men have effectively forever to have kids, so while you might not want to be tossing the pigskin with your 8 year old when you're 78, it's an option. Whereas any woman over 35 is considered…

I moved from New Jersey to South Carolina five years ago, and like you I was accustomed to laughing at the Southerners taking cover at the first snowflake. And then we got a snowstorm that winter and I went into work that morning as normal, and I figured out the actual reason everyone had stayed home. It's not that…
