I recently rewatched it, and it certainly struck me that if the movie was made today, you’d have a bunch of people raised on CinemaSins whining about how the “rules” are never explained. But it truly just never crosses your mind when you’re actually watching the thing, and you just accept its existence as a one of a…

The big thing that always bugged me about this movie is Dixon’s role in the ending. His motivation throughout the whole movie is to get Viktor to leave the airport so he’ll be out of Dixon’s hair. And then he gets exactly what he wanted when the war ends and Viktor is able to leave legally...and suddenly he tries to…

You realize plenty of actors have stayed the same this whole time besides Criston? What’s with the obsession over him in particular?

From what I’ve heard, Lindeloff did in fact first develop it as an original story, but then a friend pointed out it was close enough to Watchmen that everyone would call it a ripoff, so he went after the license.

One of my friends had a 5 year old when it was released who became obsessed with it, though it was a bit worrying that he always called it “the Bing Bong movie.”

Huh, so that’s why they completely skipped Benedict’s book. The gays have successfully ruined another franchise!

That whole movie is just icky.

And my personal favorite:

Remember when someone had the bright idea to build an entire movie around “Here’s two hours of Ashton Kutcher using superpowers to repeatedly land himself in one shitty situation after another, please enjoy”?

Well, it’s the only way his dearest friend in the world will ever be in a movie again.

For now, I’m just trying to be happy that this is likely bringing the film attention from a lot of younger people who may have never heard of it, and they get to be introduced to truly one of the greats of all time.

The school brawl in the Season 2 finale of Cobra Kai is overall a magnificent achievement, belying its low budget with a ton of participants and swooping camera moves that perfectly capture everything we need to see, and the centerpiece is this long shot:

After opening by showing the Cylons launching their attack on humanity, Battlestar Galactica’s second ever scene is this marvel that introduces a ton of the major characters without ever feeling awkward in the cramped hallway sets.

Almost every single host segment from Mystery Science Theater 3000 was a single take. Not much camera movement ever went on, but there’s quite a few times where they pulled off some impressively complicated stagecraft. Plus this time where Mike manages to hold the camera in a solid unblinking stare for nearly a full…

There’s no complex camera movement involved, but Walt and Jesse’s climactic raging fight that ends with Jesse ordering Walt out of his life for good is done in a single take, with both Cranston and Paul having to nail the emotional intensity perfectly with nowhere to hide if they ever slipped.

You’re seriously misremembering Laena’s death. Or deliberately misrepresenting it to make your point.

The show’s biggest problem is one it really can’t do anything about: it’s impossible to take the Prince Who Was Promised prophesy seriously, because we already know it’ll ultimately mean jack shit. Thus, any time Viserys or Rhaenyra make such a big deal about it, you can’t help laughing.

It’s been hilarious watching all the still bitter fans struggling to convince themselves that the show’s future seasons won’t be adapting the second game at all, some even insisting that the casting announcement for Abby was fake to throw us off. Keep chugging that copium, guys.

Sepinwall is really just openly racist here in a way that’s very surprising from him, sounding like he’s barely restraining himself from calling Lee Jung-jae’s accent “ching chong talk.”

“Russell had a prime spot for a history-making episode of television: As the first male companion in the pilot of Doctor Who. The episode wouldn’t air until the ‘90s, but science teacher Ian Chesterton would make his impact long before then.”
