I thought the trailer looked great overall, but Larson had some really flat line deliveries. I’m hoping that gets cleaned up in ADR.

I’m not upset at Ali, but this is pretty “heads-I-win-tails-you-lose” reporting given the number of times media outlets have gotten reamed out around here or on sister blogs for allegedly failing to raise racial issues in connection with reporting on POC public figures. (And that’s to say nothing of the number of…

In other matters that don’t count for a hill of beans, why had he been drinking ginger ale for a decade? Is Reich America dry or something? I could be forgetting something from season 1....

+1 It’s a particularly Christian-inflected form of fantasy, but fantasy nonetheless. 

Yeah, I was rather surprised by the headline. It’s unequivocally a fantasy movie in my view — the story is dependent on fantastical elements (angels and travels to alternate realities), there’s no scientific explanation given for the events, and it’s pretty clear that the audience is supposed understand that the…

Ah yes, I forgot about the TNT deal.  Nonetheless, that’s only a temporary obstacle, not a permanent one.

In a guest appearance almost eight years ago....

(1) Yes, I mean aside from animation, hence my qualification of the statement with “in film or television.”

It’s always seemed bizarre to me that DC hasn’t done anything with Booster Gold in film or television.  The character is perfect for the era of social media and he gives an in-universe excuse for product placement!

it seems that nearly everyone is pissed at Amazon right now.

Why wouldn’t they be able to have the original six films on Disney+? They own the complete rights to 5 of the 6 and, once the Fox acquisition is completed, they’ll have the complete rights to ANH too....

Based on the massively positive reaction in the io9 comments any time anything gets posted about this movie, I doubt it’s going to be a flop.

And to be honest, they’re pretty racist.

I’m sorry, but I’m going to call bullshit on the amount of revisionism in this with regard to the action scenes. The most notable ones being (a) Luke’s gymnastic performance at 0:19 (although if that’s revealed to just be a dream sequence/fantasy on Luke’s part, I could forgive it) and (b) Leia being at the forefront…

I starred you because I agree with the spirit of your comment, but it should be pointed out that all of the OT films are over two hours long.

Well, they would have been speaking a different language than Modern English in this time period. But there is a Middle English word“soudeour” for soldier, though I’d expect them to say “knight” (pronounced with a hard k) for “knight.” The Middle English for “troop” is “wered.” So a troop of knights would be “knight…

Amazing how the republican party, which was always about small government, now wants to impose all these tariffs to influence the free market.

Came looking for the “nice rack” joke; left satisfied.

Yes, I’m trying to figure out how this is more than a single-use game.

This display is a subtle nod to the blood-shower-rave scene in one of those Blade movies years ago.
