I think that Elektra movie is underrated. Admittedly, I'm a sucker for the knowing-martial-arts-gives-you-superpowers genre.

They could have the ninjas know pressure point attacks that let them do damage to Luke without having to break his skin.

If that's how you're supposed to watch it, then repeating the opening credits sequence at random intervals is majorly annoying.

Books generally use chapter breaks as scene transitions: they indicate when a change in location or narrative point-of-view occurs, or at least a jump forward in time. Is that what's happening here?

Why divide it up into episodes, then? As you said, they're not filling a time slot, so there's no reason they can't release it in huge, multi-hour chunks.

Isn't Luke Cage just about the last character who should have a swear word inserted in the middle of his name?

In my opinion, that award goes to Once Upon A Time In Mexico.

Desperado was a sequel, though, so it had a whole other movie to establish backstory.

"PASSIONATE PLEA! . . . whispered repetition."

"Just imagine how revolutionary a trailer would be if it was just, like,
an unedited excerpt of a single scene from the movie (basically what
Nolan did with TDK or to some extent Dunkirk), and that was it."

Can someone explain how, according to those graphs, the amount of swear words in a book can be a negative number?

Except, once it's been pointed out, it's hard not to see it yourself on subsequent rewatches, spoiling the immersion.

I don't know about that. You ever seen an action movie or TV show with someone who relentlessly points out whenever an actor's been replaced with a stunt double?

I'd like to read more children's and YA books, but I worry that a grown man wandering through the children and YA sections of the library might make the librarians call security.

Well, Jerry once did a tally of how much all the food Kramer had taken from his kitchen over the course of a week cost.

As much as I loved Paget Brewster, Keith David, and other new members of the cast, Community would have been better off without them.

Well, his evil side is created by being doused with literal extract of evil, so there's that.

Or the people who say that non-Hispanic people shouldn't learn to speak Spanish, since that would be cultural appropriation.

Would someone in their early teens still be considered a boy in Spartan culture? Or would they officially be considered a man at that point?

I had to read that line in the voice of Mac from It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia.
