Thing is, in 1999 audiences left theaters satisfied, almost giddy, with Episode 1. Darth Maul was the character with the biggest impact and the climatic battle ended a 16 year light saber battle drought. It was in the years that followed that the nerd echo chamber exploded and public derision for the film came to the…

Dude. You somehow missed a super important thing. Serena set Fred up. This has been a set up since she returned from Canada. She and Tulelo made this plan to get her over the border and Fred in prison. All the clues were always there. We just didn't see them because we assumed of course she'd betray June to get Nicole…
No, she’s wrong. The white guy who’s lecturing us about how women should be written and treated in movies is right.
This over-the-top pearl clutching that seems to follow after every new movie these days is cringe worthy, not to mention exhausting. You guys should lay off watching movies for a while and make take up on knitting or something.
Oh good, another think piece by a man telling women that they should be outraged at something instead of listening to the women involved and hearing what they think about it. Great!
But, again, that’s not what she said. First, if you watch/listen to the speech, she actually specifically says studios should *add* seats for more diverse voices in criticism (9 per movie, to be precise), not stifle one voice in favor of another.
The purity olympics in America need too fucking stop. I am a left leaning, liberal woman of color. This shit needs to stop. This is why people end up becoming the Trump supporters we see in ever-growing millions these days. Nothing is enough. They all apologized. Fred Armisen was playing Barack Obama, not making fun…
I liked her little David Rose bit - it was striking in the moment, but once she shouted it out on Twitter I couldn’t believe I didn’t realize what it reminded me of.
Heaven forbid the potential customer have an opinion on the direction of the franchise! No one, buy product and shut the hell up!
because the backlash on battlefront 2 accomplished nothing?
Which is amusing considering even though he appears white, his father is a Samoan chief, but he continues to be cast as racially clueless boyfriend.
This sounds good, but since their General Leia voice actress actually mocked Dr. Ford, I’m not really sure if I want to see this. Also, I felt pretty bored when I watched Rebels so this might fall in the same problems I had with it.
I actually saw Dick Shawn do his one man show, and absolutely believe that the audience would think it was part of the performance. During intermission he would lay down on the stage and close his eyes while the lights came up, almost as if he was sleeping, then get up when the lights came down again. A terrific and…
It was neither. The “Niagra Falls” sketch predated both Abbot & Costello AND Three Stooges. (I JUST discovered that, I thought it was Three Stooges, too). It was an old Vaudeville sketch that at least three people claim they invented.
Now playing
Shit, I always thought that started life as a Three Stooges routine. And, now that I look it up, it didn’t start with Abbot & Constello OR Three Stooges. It was actually an old Vaudville routine that predated film.
Not really. Joel explained this awhile back. Based on input from Netflix, they decided that shorter seasons would probably work better because of peoples’ binging habits. I’m sure Netflix looked at the data and saw that longer seasons of full-length films lead to more people dropping off and not finishing. By keeping…
I’m going to say this as nicely as possible: where it concerns processing and analyzing a public event, I am now extremely comfortable calling you one of the worst I’ve ever encountered.
I have literally never heard a dem refer to a black person as a ‘coon’, but if you thought you could get away with using that by falsely claiming it’s the left’s new favorite word, well, at least you got to say it. So... Here goes. Prepare to get nuked from orbit.
When the #buryyourgays trope is used, it is almost never done with conscious malice and they always have a) or b) or c) excuse for story reasons or because an actor was leaving ...blah blah blah. None of what the show says in defense of why they HAD to do it matters, what matters is it has been done over and over and…
