Rhodey gets clipped by Vision’s beam at the end of Civil War and plummets from the sky to splat-land in a field at maximum velocity. The War Machine suit was essentially a metal coffin at that point. Even if the suit survived the fall, he should absolutely be a pancake, and that’s a greater suspension of disbelief…

I can’t tell if this is serious or trolling, but I can tell you that this is what I wrote after I tapped “reply”. How exciting!

I agree she was a messy character - I guess I’m saying they could’ve gone into the motivations of the Flag Smashers without creating a flimsily sketched character to act as a nominal “villain”, and instead funnelled that screen time into more fully addressing Sharon’s shift in allegiances. I would’ve welcomed a…

Farscape sits comfortably in my all-time TV top five. 

Steve had to have lived out his life with Peggy in an alternate timeline instead of the “real” one. There’s no way he sits on the sidelines and watches half of all life getting Snapped - like the man himself said, he sees a situation going south, he can’t ignore it. It’s also the only logical explanation for where the…

Everything Sam & Bucky was great. All the “America will never accept a black Cap” stuff was bracingly good, touching on relatable real-world issues with a depth and impact rarely broached by the MCU. The bank scene, the cops pulling up when Sam and Bucky argue in the street, the down-home stuff with Sarah, all the Isai…

This is frequently quoted among my friends whenever a Heineken is ordered. 

Indeed I did. 

The most obvious example I can recall of this is Pacino, nominated for both Scent Of A Woman and Glengarry Glen Ross in 1992. Obviously GGR is the better performance, but yknow. Boo-yah. 

I remember joining the forums on Rotten Tomatoes in 2001 specifically to discuss Mulholland Drive, and 20 years on, apart from all its other wonderful qualities, it now has an added air of nostalgia for the relative naivety of the pre-Facebook internet.

I’m an unapologetic MCU fan, and I liked Spidey 2 and loved WandaVision, but if this series wraps up with a post-cred scene revealing that someone was a Skrull all along, I’m gonna be chagrined. 

My current working theory: the season ends with Wanda going fully off the rails, ripping open / disappearing into the multiverse in a cataclysmic accidental surge of her powers, hence the Multiverse of Madness. This leads to all the odd casting shenanigans in Spidey 3, and culminates with her acting as a Raft-bound, Le…

Or, you know, explicitly providing misinformation, like shots in trailers that are altered to prevent audience foreknowledge. 

I’ve never quite understood the branding of Wanda & Vision as underdeveloped or uninteresting characters pre-WV. They’re given far more screen time and plot importance than most of the other non-leads. And they’re hardly static. Wanda starts as a revenge-driven lab experiment, suffers the loss of her twin brother,…

4, 5, 7, & 8 are all very good to great. 

With the exception of Levar Burton, that is an awful list.

Absolutely, this. It was one of those full-room pandemonium responses. The only other time I’ve seen that level of “everybody loses it” laughter was the opening weekend of South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut. I went to see it again a few weeks later so I could actually hear all the jokes. 

I love the eye-scanning spiders in Minority Report. 

I saw it the last night it played my hometown, at the end of a six month run. Six months! Hard to imagine anything having that kind of legs now. 

It’s always a “is it psychological horror or just a seriously unsettling thriller” argument, but I would happily argue for Silence Of The Lambs.
