Well, my understanding is it's 20 and 30 somethings that are registering for classes or whatever you call it, but on the other hand I have no idea what the actual age range is for millenials so…*shrug*.

Still not convinced the whole UCB thing isn't actually, like, Scientology for millenials or something.

I thought everything in the 80's had ninjas?

A Dazzler solo movie is the only thing that can redeem this franchise.

that's amazing

Reading a hyperbolic review that summarizes an argument =/= actually hearing that argument and being shown why it is anything more than well intentioned faff. That's what the fucking documentary is for, otherwise there's no point to any of this.

The little bit of the Whedon script I saw made it seem like an attempt at a deconstructionist approach, which while interesting in theory is probably not the route you want to take with the first AAA superhero woman.

Killing people shouldn't be held up as a sign of character agency, though. We assume it as standard because movies have ingrained that in their audiences but considering Leia was neither a trained soldier nor prone to violence, her failure to join in on the shooting shouldn't be seen as a weakness or anything like…

I'm not sure I actually believe any of these but I love the idea of JCVD being unable to go more than 5 minutes without doing the splits or kicking something.

… Assuming we're talking specifically about action movies, sure, but the review explicitly says that their romance takes a prominent part of the story, right? Which if nothing else is pretty typical for stories featuring a woman protagonist. Plus, y'know, the whole thing where love interests usually are there…

Was that the one that was meant to be fired from the back of a speeding vehicle, so that they'd have a better chance of getting away?

Def gonna be checking this out, but honestly a little relieved to hear it's half-hour episodes. And it really does sound like the perfect role for Brie.

Impossible geometry just sounds like a boring math class until you're home alone and it's staring at you from the bathroom ceiling.

Weird-but-boring seems like its own trap, but kinda interesting to hear the world-building being given priority over actual story since it seems like that's usually a complaint you hear more with books than movies.

Except that's another mouth you have to feed, plus medical upkeep, so if you're so desperate for sustenance that you're eating other people, it would make more sense to just build a smokehouse or some other way of preserving the meat. If eating people avoids the huge costs of maintaining livestock, then deciding to…

Trump is a human numbers station!

There's a Plessy v. Ferguson joke in here somewhere but I'm not gonna be the one to make it…

Matt Damon is Jesus Christ It's Jason Bourne, this is the other guy.

Admirals are just captains who forgot to board their ship before it left Spacedock and just started giving orders to whoever was in earshot.

Hey, if the legal system could find a way to teach everyone a valuable lesson while increasing their civic engagement in a way that also ensures they won't repeat the instigating misdemeanor or what have you, they would probably prefer to do that.
