Its not that ridiculous honestly. I did the same, and also avoided trailers for Episode 7. I find that it vastly improves the viewing experience.

I honestly found Kylo Ren very interesting, infinitely more so than the villains of the prequels and just about as interesting as Vader himself, in a different way.

Daryl handing Rick his python was a cool moment. Ruined by The Smiling, unfortunately.

Really? Nothing in the PT suggests that? Nothing at all? Not our protagonists murdering groups of children in two out of three movies?

If white supremacists and/or Nazis are boycotting your film, you're probably doing something right.

First of all, please don't lump me in with these crazies. Second, humans are prone to magical thinking, across the spectrum. It's unfortunately going to be present in any group of people. The difference between your examples and my example of climate change, is that your examples are considered extremely fringe…

Peoples' ideas of what constitutes bias seem pretty out of whack these days. By its current popular definition, virtually anything can be considered "biased" because even observable facts of reality are considered biased from certain points of view. Just because someone's opinion happens to align with a particular…

I get why throwing darts would be negatively affected by lack of depth perception, but when it comes to shooting guns? Don't most people close one eye when they aim anyway? I concede that you're much more knowledgeable than I am when it comes to one-eyedness though.

yes, this exactly. You should check out reviews on Steam. There are people who will leave a negative review after playing a game for 100 hours.

Didn't Disney already confirm they were planning a Kenobi film?

I guess that works. Another white "tweaking" movie that comes to mind is Gareth Edwards' Godzilla. Those are all original characters so we're not "white washing" anybody's previously established cannon, but c'mon, as much as we all love Bryan Cranston that movie should have had an Asian lead.

I think Raiders and Temple of Doom work perfectly fine with aliens, because the power of the artifacts is mysterious and isn't necessarily religious/magical in nature - that could just be how humans interpreted them (any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic etc). But The Last Crusade isn't…

In Lucas' defense, I think making the lightsabers heavy, two handed weapons is actually a kind of neat idea. Implying a lot of weight when there really shouldn't be any. Weird that he was so adamant about it when filming Jedi and then was apparently fine with the prequel choreography.

AV Club, there is now a finish line in sight. Bring back coverage for the last two seasons!

All this talk of how memes are the worst, and I completely agree, but this one always gets me.

With their money they could convince me to do a lot of things, doesn't mean what I said above isn't true though.

That's the mark the character left on them, not the other way around.

Boy I really, really disliked that one. STID is like, Oliver Stone's Alexander levels of bad for me. Not trying to be argumentative I just wanted to shout that into the ether.

They were talking about wiping out entire battalions though, if you're not shattering them you're either leaving them to reform and fight again or you're sifting around in the dirt trying to find and bubble all of them, which could take days or weeks even considering a battalion could consist of several hundred…

hmm ok, I see where you're coming from.
