The story could be told with Anderton being the age of Tom Cruise instead of older. Scott Frank just didn’t like the story.

Anderton fails to find a minority report because all 3 of them reported that he killed the guy framed for his son.

When I first watched this I found it an enjoyable enough wrongly-accused-man-on-the-run movie, a la Hitchcock. After reading PKD’s short story, I can’t anymore. Scott Frank completely destroyed the core of that story (there’s no minority report!). Lamar Burgess’ decision at the end doesn’t make a lick of sense. As…

I tend to think of crime stories as being “less reputable”, though prestige TV has done a lot to polish pulp subject matter.

I’m not surprised it’s not a sequel because Furiosa took over the Citadel and Mad Max movies never take place in the same spot twice. Max just keeps moving on.

I agree with some of what you say, but Breaking Bad/Ozark are very different stories from Girls. They’re heightened ones about crime that viewers aren’t expected to have any experience with. Vince Gilligan never cooked meth or shot killed anybody (as far as we know).

I’ve got the AVC Newswire for Barbarian open in another tab, and nowhere there does it inform us that Bill Skarsgard or Justin Long are white. Probably because there’s no need to do so.

Wow, I feel bad for her mother.

Definitely Mason and not Madison.

A more serious argument that the best thing for people to do right now is be just a little bit “nicer” (though it doesn’t use that word):

“When Romance Met Comedy” ended in February.

There’s a reason “Baby Driver” didn’t feature masks of his character from The Love Guru: nobody watched The Love Guru.

The AV Club noticed:

Tyler Smith was asked the same question when he gave a negative review to Toy Story 4.

Yeah, Michael Meyers is the more unknowably motiveless.

The actor’s name is “Mason” Thames rather than “Madison”.

One guy has injured legs and is on the shoulders of the other guy. So he fires two shots with his rifles, then lowers them so the other guy can work the bolts of each. In other scenes though people fire repeatedly without working a bolt.

I never watched an episode (if the original pilot had aired, that would have been another story), and I’m impressed it lasted four seasons after all the behind-the-scenes complications.

I know the source material for that prequel isn’t great, but I really don’t know what more they’d do with this. The Wall is gone, the White Walkers are gone, the wildling characters Jon Snow knew mostly died, and he was never one of the most compelling characters in the show (related to him being the most bog-standard…
