Peter Benchley, the author of “Jaws”, said that the irrational fear of sharks that his book and the ensuing movie caused was one of his greatest regrets in life. He spent a large part of his life working with oceanographic/environmental groups to help sharks.

Yup, in FC2 and TW3 the design is there, but it’s managable, either because the weapons last longer, because you can repair them or both.

I would really love for the second Infinity War movie (whatever it ends up getting called) with Thor dead or unworthy, and Mjolnir crashing to Earth. Then in the post-credits scene, we see Portman walk up to it and...

The more movies they make, the more I really begin to hate how they treat their female characters.

But leaving aside the specific Trump-related aspect - I’m not making any judgement on one thing or the other (it’s likely been directed by some PR idiot, let’s be honest), just saying that Iron Fist seemed to get a lot of criticism (not just on here) for casting a white Danny Rand that other comic book stuff with…

Burn you little bastard

Aaand this is why all the NeckTubeBeards don’t fucking get that shit like what Pewdiepie jokes about matters, because he is literally inundating the minds of preteen children with bigotry and normalizing talking about raping women as a sort of good chuckle. He is showing them that talking about “burning all the Jews”…

I recently visited my girlfriend’s aunt, uncle and her nephews - the kids are the only ones who play video games in their whole family so I have a pretty good rapport with them. We’re sitting there chatting about stupid little kid stuff (they’re 9 and 11) and they start talking about bashing Jews and laughing about…

This is what I call Toxic Fandom — the idea that something you like is a private club, and the world divides into the True Believers, Heretics and Infidels. I can roll my eyes at Finn Jones, but it manifests in much darker and uglier ways. GamerGate, Rabid Sad Puppies, the screeching diaper soiling every damn time…

That is an interesting point, although the demographics for IMDB heavily lean young and male, and their scoring disproportionately impacts female-focused shows and films.

It sounds like your generation is mine, and thus I’m suprised you don’t seem to know that the first gay pride parades were in Los Angeles (both before Stonewall as small protests, and after Stonewall as the ever-growing event it is now). LA has been in the forefront of the struggle since the 1950s. It just never looks…

This “it’s for the fans” garbage is what creates the kind of toxic backlash the nerd community has become known for.

Post nothing. My first LA Pride parade was in 1978, when the infamous Briggs Initiative was on the ballot (it failed in part because we turned out in huge numbers). I went in the years when Gay Pride meant a free for all bacchanal and in the years when it was a grave call to action and sometimes felt like a death…

Ok I guess, but she’s got nothing on Emma Peel.

Because Gadot felt very wooden in the role in BvS. She was stiff, and only came alive when the character showed a bloodthirsty streak in the final battle, which was worrying.

About a year ago my former boss sent me the most condescending, mean-spirited email I’ve ever received in my life. I tried to resign, the other boss convinced me to wait until I found a new job, and then two months later they both fired me in the most humiliating setting they could have chosen. I hate the first boss…

Trying to portray Johansson as wanting public attention will not end well for this dude. She is one of the most private celebs I’ve ever seen.

C’mon now, I specifically mentioned Star Wars twice:

But the thing is, there might have been a huge gap between Terminator movies but there wasn’t a huge gap between Schwarzenegger movies. T2 was made during that period where Arnie churned out reliable blockbuster after reliable blockbuster, and there was interest in any film he made. That kept Terminator in the public…

If it’s nail polish, it’s not Ballet Slippers because that’s opaque and would streak if applied in a thin layer. If she uses any, my guess would be Mademoiselle.
