Jeffery Wright is a great Commissioner Gordon. He’s up there with the one from the animated series as my favorites.

I still have a bone to pick with Sausage Party. When it came out I had been working retail in a grocery store for years and I thought “oh awesome this looks like its for me” and then I watched it and it was fun and I enjoyed the first 3/4s of it a lot. However I made the mistake of taking the film seriously as an…

Noah is an appealing TV personality, but I always felt like the public discourse lost something when Stewart stepped down. Back during the W era, Stewart would absolutely flay conservative guests, who would keep coming back for the publicity. Early in the Trump administration, Noah repeatedly shared his platform with…

Interesting. I found his outsider’s perspective refreshing, especially considering most other late night show hosts are American.

Maybe because Sam Jackson didn’t have the time to commit to a long movie? He’s one of the hardest working men in Hollywood, so maybe he had conflicts if they’d wanted to go that route.

Hell, I’d love to see FroZone get a movie; I just wonder how it would go and still fit into the mythos that they’d built with the first…

Any time I hear or read anything out of her I feel like I’m having a stroke.

Did Donald Trump take over her IG account?

This is either a massive troll or we’re getting a final FINAL send off for Hugh’s Wolverine.

Nope , just a bunch of Stewarts pretending that they invented, jumping and running in the air going “Look what I can do!”

I’ve never played the game so I’m excited to experience the story for the first time. This has a demographic and while I think there’s an impetus to make it good for people who have played the game and adapt that story, it is also a medium to get the story out to people who haven’t played it.

I feel like this looks like a well-made show and so I will start to watch it and pass judgement later. 

Imma head off the naysayers by saying, fuck yeah. Can’t wait.

Snape would have been an unbearable character with almost any other actor in the role 

This. Every argument I’ve heard about it “influencing pop culture” or “movies” is either “3D” or “it made a ton of money”. None of those a cultural; they’re technical and financial.

Bioluminescent jungles began figuring in as plot points in the likes of Trolls (2016), Smurfs: The Lost Village (2017), and Moana (2016).

Thank you for putting all this more succinctly than I could have. That pretty much sums up the ways this article reaches. I think the biggest overall reach is that they try to conflate technical impact with pop culture impact. They’re making the argument that Avatar had a cultural impact, but to most people that means…

Ughh okay. World of Avatar did not invent the “immersive world” theme park area - The Wizarding World of Harry Potter opened at Universal in 2010, World of Avatar opened seven years later. Planning for the Avatar park began in 2011, obviously in response to Disney FREAKING OUT because of how much attention and…

This whole article seems an overly desperate stretch over and around the weird hollowness of the first Avatar movie and its lack of resonance in pop culture despite its box office success. Titanic gets referenced far more in pop culture than Avatar, and it came out 25 years ago. Toys and other Avatar merchandise…

Your argument barely supports your premise.  Nobody’s denying the technical impact it had on filmmaking or the number of 3d TVs that it sold, but it definitely didn’t have the same kind of pop culture impact as Cameron’s previous movies.  Nobody’s quoting any of the blue people a decade later while ‘Game over man!’,…
