This would be true UNLESS the robot technology is proprietary to this one corporation.

I loved his character's return in PoI so, so much. I very nearly cried. I was dancing in my chair like a little kid who has to pee.

Atwood's stories tend to depress the hell out of me. Yet I continue to read her because she is such a fucking great writer and (most of the time) a gifted storyteller.

The first Hellboy is a absolute joy. It's full of marvelous detail, both visually and in the story, and it never stops giving to an attentive viewer, and it's thrilling.
The other movies you mention…not so much.
Although I know some Kaiju fans who feel the same way about Pacific Rim that I do about Hellboy.
I love his…

That song is not "classic" anything. It's just old.

He has a houseful of slaves ("They're my friends. I made them"). He may not be the most repulsive character in the movie but he's not a good guy.

Fuck. Branagh's usually passable as a director but why, after all these years, has he not learned he isn't fit to work the other side of the camera?

Hey, I like Arby's every once in a while. That roast beef is good, the Horsey Sauce & barbecue sauce make it better, and those potato cakes are the fuckin' bomb.

…and a tiny, giggling Mom and Dad scurry into the room from under the door…

I re-watched S1 by binge. I think it flooded my brain. I was useless for the entire weekend.

Believe it or not people do that IRL to show themselves where to aim their car, so as not to collide with a wall and/or leave the ass end hanging outside where the garage door will hit it.
That's right: There are Americans in large numbers who cannot navigate their own garages.

Their biographer, Philip Norman, wrote that this was a common occurrence at Beatles concerts. I don't know if it was because the girls were THAT EXCITED or simply because they didn't want to leave their seats to find the restroom. (Perhaps it was a combination.)

Dearie me, Help! did not age well, did it?

The book is planets and galaxies and entire universes better than that by-the-numbers movie.
There's actually nothing wrong with the movie as a movie (except that it's constructed entirely of tropes); it got all that hate from book readers (me included) because it basically stole the book's title and then used nothing…

Speaking strictly for myself, when I am experiencing tragedy or trouble, social media is the absolute last place I go to, or think of.
Like you, I tend to expect people in the public eye to be public about things like this; but I think about how I'd feel in the circumstances and I respect anyone who just wants to close…

Sigh.
Stone's last good movie was Salvador.
JFK is good for a couple laughs, and all the actors in all the little parts, and for its utter dedication to cram in every tiny crumb of every JFK conspiracy theory ever posited anywhere, without regard to continuity or logic…
But it's too goddamned long.

I think she and Nancy Reagan were air-kissing in Hell last night.

Criticizing/expressing your loathing for a female is not automatically misogyny. A woman can be a loathsome person. Schlafly was living proof of this, until very recently (yay!). Apparently even most of her family couldn't stand her (not surprising, since she left them to be raised by a nanny).

Kansastan.

"I am truly sorry for those who loved her."
Five or six years ago her own daughter had her ousted from the anti-progress group she had founded.
She recently lost a lawsuit against her nephew. She had sued him for using his surname, which she apparently claimed to have more right to than he did.
In other words, I don't…
