Well, you’re wrong, because he obviously didn’t. 🙄

Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor, like Hackman’s turn in the same role, was easily the best part of the movie. A contemporary twist on classic Lex Luthor, as much a manic figure of fun as a maniacal genius in most media where he’s appeared.

You’re going to commit suicide soon

You are slowly going insane

“fandom”... sigh

Almost like the U.S. government is fascist scum all the way through! Now go have Mommy change your diaper.

You’re right, but realize that today’s average Star Trek fan mainly wants things that reference or repeat other things they know, even if it’s just to “correct” them in tones far less polite than yours, and those same fans tend to be alienated, baffled and put-off by anything new, anything they can’t lecture other…

They don’t have “a problem understanding” that. It just isn’t terribly important at all to Star Trek, where planets are essentially backwater burbs and creepy canyons the wagon train visits each week (or each movie release).

Of course they want to carve the cute alien up. They’re creepy U.S. government agents in a Hollywood production between 1975 (the Rockefeller Commission) and 2001 (9/11), the era past which The X-Files could not survive a year. As a kid, I understood the concept well enough without having to think in graphic terms.…

Remove the pauses from between those brief, elliptical phrases and you have Joss Whedon’s scripts, which are still, twenty years later and completely bafflingly, the template for a ton of genre TV.

(One of the best things about the Spielberg-associated movie kids of the ’80s is that they cuss and act like assholes to each other. I don’t know where Hollywood lost the knowledge that kids do that.)

Goldman was absolutely right, and we are still paying for it. Spielberg is a talented director, and he’s not to blame, and neither is what Goldman identified as the “comic-book movie”, really.

I’m playing Skyrim again, which is kind of neat as a world where the guy who was supposed to end the world decided to take it over instead, and your avatar’s heroism seems likely to have put that guy back on schedule for the apocalypse in some unknown moment to come.

I mean... The Office has an episode that presents Jim and Dwight as two very different guys who worked incredibly effectively together when they were on the road, understanding each others’ strengths and weaknesses and using them in conscious cooperation to make their job both mutually rewarding and mutually…

I mean, nothing about that movie suggested anything like that, but why not? Trivia trumps story or sense in these new series. Might as well just do it again.

Calm the fuck down unless you are a literal sentient robot

Don’t be a pass-agg brat. Just say what you mean, show some courage.

LOL, no, the pampered sons of the United States filth pseudo-aristocracy were not “hardcore”.
