Oh thank goodness.

Sounds like another horribly misguided and botched remake. 

The first episode is all “Fun and Goofiness is back on the menu”

Got any actual data on that?

Oh, Attack of the Clones is way better than Wrath of Khan.

I’d say that the comics are a bit different from the movie, but not that different, and still of their time as well.

I thought that, but then I saw that Edgar Wright is directing, saw I’m obligated to see it. 

Lucas fumbled the ball out the back of the damn end zone.

I think The Phantom Menace was the best anyone could expect out of pure, unadulterated George Lucas. He needs the Gary Kurtzes and Marcia Lucases of the world to keep him in check, and no one on TPM was willing to do that. I also think that what Lucas does well he does excellently in TPM, and I still get bolts of joy

JFC, this title is so horrible it made me physically sick.
But this whole idea for a show... Kathryn Hahn is awesome, don’t get me wrong. But she was great in this show only when she was playing Agnes, and that clearly wasn’t Agatha’s real personality, she was playing a role.
The moment she dropped the mask and showed

Honestly, I feel like they both were about 40 minutes of nothing happening. Or, a lot of things happening, but none of it mattering. Very floaty and meaningless puff. Which, I’m not arguing that we need deep meaning or anything, it’s Doctor Who after all, but anything to latch on to that gives me any sense of stakes,

Doctor Who - I mean this, you can watch very old episodes to prove it - used to be mostly science fiction, with a little psionics thrown in. Not magic, not gods, not ridiculous and empty crap for stupid people.

Blaming Disney... and deciding to have a “crisis” now in particular... seems more than a little silly considering the new Dr Who has been around for almost 20 years, and it’s been non-serious scifi the whole time.

“Space Babies”: ha ha what if babies could talk and were running a space station, what if a Xenomorph was made of snot, what if a space station could make a big fart, ha ha.

Jam a magenta horned helmet on him and he’ll do just fine. The question is: will they do the ultimate nullifier up properly? It’s gotta look like a 8-track cartridge with dohickies — nothing else will do [finger wag]

Check and check.

It’s set in the 1940's... with a black Police Commissioner?

I loves me some diversity in the cast, Jeffrey Wright was outstanding in the most recent film, but in this setting... that’s gotta stand out a little weirdly, yeah? Are they saying that in the 1940's of DC’s America, segregation and institutional racism was

much as i loathe STD (aka the Michael Burnham Experience), it can hardly be said that Star Trek is dead. Strange New Worlds is going strong, there’s a new Starfleet Academy teen drama coming. Lower Decks is an animated hit and Prodigy seems to have survived. There’s that extremely random Michelle Yeoh TV movie coming

“Star Trek 2009's biggest aftershock came outside of its franchise with the big reboot and legacy sequel boom of the 2010s. New takes on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Power Rangers, Robocop and Evil Dead were born from this movie’s success, even if it was just to revitalize its own series.”
