Careful, James, the more you praise TLJ, the more haters will come out of the woodwork and claim that you are a Disney shill and that TLJ was the worst thing ever created and personally raped their childhoods.

I like this show so much. It’s very well done and more than makes up for the occasional “Berlanti” in the plots (LaWanda’s daughter never seen nor mentioned again, though she was a major catalyst for events still happening in the show, most notably LaLa). I also like how it’s moving forward. I would have been fine…

Was anybody excited about Independence Day 2? That might be one of the most unasked-for sequels in the history of movies. The cinematic equivalent of a Smashmouth reunion tour.

Man, I’m really bummed about New Mutants being delayed. It’s the X-Men movie I’m most excited for. At least the reshoots does not sound rushed.

Yeah, that’s a special feeling when you have someone trying to “handle” you as a director. Fielding statements like, “We love it! We really do. We’d just love it even more if...” “We thought you’d be ecstatic for the opportunity to go back in and make the version of the film you REALLY wanted to make!”

“at least 50 percent of the movie may be reshot, and they’re adding one or two new characters who will be present throughout the entirety of the film.”

After the train wreck that was Apocalypse, I have zero desire to the Dark Phoenix. I hold Days of Future Past in VERY high regard and Apoc completely derailed any excitement I once held in the franchise.

Amaya going to 1992 is obviously the thing that finally breaks time badly enough to free Mallus.

I believe that Snyder is going for baroque here.

You know what they say, if it ain’t baroque, don’t fix it.

*ahem*

RP1 is a book that doesn’t really try to make much in the way of points, or even have a moral of a story, but if there is one overarching point of the book that the protagonist learns throughout his whole ordeal, is that the accumulation of that knowledge doesn’t replace real human interaction and is kind of…

It falls in to the ST:TNG culture trap: they love Shakespeare and noir and jazz and.... there are a couple centuries worth of culture missing there, aren’t there? At least there you can hand wave some of that away due to the centuries and probably a global war here and there. But Ready Player One was set in, what…

“Lord Vader, there are hundreds of younglings in line front of us in line for It’s a Small World. At this rate, we’ll be standing in line for hours.”

I’m trying to figure out how Gypsy Avenger ranked higher than Diablo Intercept.

It’s this guy:

It’s called ironic hyperbole. By dramatically overstating the impact of something that’s so obviously minor, it A) reinforces the original point (i.e., how big of a deal the Avengers crossover is), B) makes fun of the big deal people (or at least, advertisers) made about these more modest crossovers when they…

I think that the Crisis on Earth X “event” was probably just as ambitious in that they had to juggle the production schedules and storylines of four concurrently running TV shows in a short time period in order to make it happen.

It’s one of those memetic exaggerations.
