Calling a black man a “head house slave” is extremely degrading, and it’s a comment that specifically has to do with his race and is disparaging because of his race. The fact that the person who posted the degrading racist comparison is black doesn’t change the meaning of the reference nor the intent to degrade, and…

Referring to a black person in a way that is extremely degrading to black people is reverse racism now?

She is referring to Bisciotti as a cruel, violent slavemaster, and Lewis as one of the lowest things a black person can be (at least that’s what they call head house slaves in the movie), all on the basis that one of them is white and one is black, and that they were considering offering her boyfriend a lot of money…

Hans is obviously evil enough for a cabinet position, but he’s far too smart for one.

The action itself was incredible in that scene, but it was made all the better because you legitimately wasn’t sure what the outcome would be. Compare that to something like the Daredevil hallway fight, which was awesome as well, but there was obviously never a chance that the main character was going to lose.

Hell, he had a parenthetical in here that almost cracked three figures.

I never played the first one and had no problem understanding the second.

The Raid 2 came out the same year as John Wick, so no, it’s not going to make the cut (hope The Raid: Redemption does though!).

I also vehemently disagree with the statement that the bad guys’ inability to hang with Neeson takes away from the action. When you know they are going to win the fight, dragging it out doesn’t make it any more suspenseful. Sometimes you just want to see the bad ass protagonist be badass (which I also think is the…

Doesn’t Sam have a sister? And do the Tarly’s still have enough in the family name to count?

Alan Taylor seems to be doing a lot of talking about potential plotlines and what not for a show that is so secretive they don’t even send screeners out.

Billy’s Barca articles this summer are like if Game of Thrones episodes were 54 minutes of “previously seen on”, 4 minutes of new material, and 2 minutes of “next on”. Seriously, we don’t need the entire backstory each and every time.

It wouldn’t be a Billy article if it wasn’t proven immediately wrong.

Seriously, periods are your friend, hyphens and parentheses are not.

Just rec’d this comment, which unfortunately took 2-3 seconds. Now to click publish and go get coffee while my page reloads...

Maybe dumb wasn't the right word (I do stand by forgettable). I don't think the stakes have to be high for the plot to be interesting - Casino Royale was at its most basic level about a guy trying to repay investor losses. QoS maybe just didn't seem dangerous enough I guess? The central villain in the movie wasn't…

I would like people to watch Die Another Day and Spectre back to back and then try to argue that Spectre is a bad Bond movie.

They haven't confirmed that "it's a designation" thing because it isn't, and nothing in any of the movies have ever hinted at it being something other than a single person. It's just something that the internet decided was a fact so they could argue away any dissent to fan-casting choices.

In my opinion, Quantum of Solace has a dumb plot that ultimately made it a very forgettable movie, but I think Craig is such a good Bond that I would never remotely think of it as a *bad* movie (especially not compared to something like DAD).

But a key part of what made the Brosnan movies so irredeemably lousy (at least the last two) was that they were goofy with laser watches and invisible cars. I thought Brosnan himself was actually pretty capable.
