If there's one thing the current era of superhero movies has shown me, it's that film is NOT a medium that's intended to function like an open-ended, long-running serialized television series with no end in sight. Like it's fine to have options for the next one or whatever, but breaking up groups of films into…

I'm looking forward to Logan MUCH more than any of those MCU films, with the possible exception of GOTG2.

Yeah, it's pretty bullshit that they cast somebody who's the exact same age as Elisabeth Moss as what is supposed to be this terrifying matriarchal figure. She doesn't give off the "Mommie Dearest" vibe that this role needs, though I can sort of see her nailing the "ice cold religious hypocrite" side to the character.

I think one of my favorite post-breakup burns I've ever heard is when she something like, "He is a very gifted impressionist, but the most convincing one he does is his impression of himself". Damn, girl!

No glimpse of Yvonne Strahovski as Serena Joy?

YOU KNOW THEY SAY ALL WRESTLERS-TURNED-ACTORS ARE CREATED EQUAL. BUT YOU LOOK AT ME AND YOU LOOK AT KEVIN NASH AND YOU CAN SEE THAT STATEMENT IS NOT TRUE!

No mention of Batista breaking into the extremely lucrative Marvel and James Bond franchises?

I wouldn't date anybody who didn't have some of those embarrassing skeletons in their closets. You can't trust people who didn't fall for some dumb crap at a tender age.

My favorite plot point is how Meyer spends the entirety of Eclipse building up some kind of huge, epic confrontation involving a truce between the Cullens and the werewolves to go to war against an army of evil newborn vampires… only to portray the actual battle through Edward experiencing it telepathically.…

Even intended audiences deserve better than this crap.

I read all the books years ago. New Moon was easily the worst, Eclipse and the second half of Breaking Dawn were easily the best, but they were all shit. Meyer has zero understanding of narrative or structure or style or anything that isn't "stalling", yet has the nerve to invoke Wuthering Heights and Romeo and Juliet…

I don't want to live in a world where JBL was right all along.

I'm such a mark for the Lone Wolf. The way he speaks at I-Might-Have-A-Learning-Disability half-speed only makes his big lumbering bully character more convincing.

Just a few weeks ago, it was a big talking point that all the champs on Smackdown were heels. Now, just like that, they have split them right down the middle. What a great show.
