Your momz is in on it. #blindghazi

Hot take. Unorthodox. I like it.

You’re so right. Story matters. Engaging characters matter. There is a world of difference between LOTR and the overblown prequels in which I didn’t care about the characters.

I know a lot of it is invisible and banal. I don’t mind even obvious CGI. It’s the waves of warriors sweeping across a plain or storming a keep that’s been done a lot in the last few years. It could be that the interminable battle scenes in The Hobbit movies have led me to expect more of the same, and the long-ass…

The Hobbit trilogy really CGI’d me out. I don’t mind it when it’s Star Wars/Trek, but the idea of more computer-generated orcs and stagey dialogue...

Wouldn’t want to besmirch the gizmerger...

Barry’s speed-learning and quick thinking is a recurring feature in the comics. They need to get on that. The Flash should dazzle us.

I’m with you on that. Arthur Darvill is a terrific actor.

I’d love to see just the adventures of those three and snarky Professor Stein.

Huh. I must have blanked the waterfowl prophylactic from my mind.

Howard The Duck had duck tits (!) That sounds like a truism. I mean... you know what I mean, FFS.

We’ve gone from a Beatle being pilloried for saying “We’re bigger than Jesus” to a republican presidential contender saying “I could shoot someone in the street, LOL!” I know there’s more context to it, but the point is he’s bragging that people are saying this about him. It’s a brag (!) That’s both funny and…

I had never seen a Star Wars movie in the theater before the current one. I was born in ‘77 so the originals passed me by until I saw them on TV -and I had no interest in the prequels- but I went to see The Force Awakens and absolutely loved it. It’s nice to feel a part of the whole thing, too.

I’d say Anderson has done more diverse work in the intervening years and has quite a high profile now. But yeah, they are single unit on X-Files, which got a bit tedious when Mulder left in the later seasons.

Exec A: “The Fifth Wave? But that sounds like a sequel...”

“If you want to board the flight, you’ll have to surrender your Batarangs, sir.”

Well, she found Osama Bin Laden. Maybe don’t send a couple of seal teams, though...

I will watch any old crap about time travel. Time Trax? Check. Timecop: The Series? Check. 7 Days? Check.

You’re so right about the show having a lot going for it. Some of my all-time favourite trek episodes are from Enterprise. The stuff on Vulcan with Surak in Archer’s head and sexy T’Pau was terrific.

There should be a Curb Your Enthusiasm trigger warning attached to that anecdote.
