Is it just me, or was Joe whipping out his gun & trying to murder Wells on sight a bit out of character? I mean, Joe was already aware that there were people from Earth-2 coming through the portal, and he had been told "Harrison Wells" broke into a lab, so I imagine he put 2 and 2 together. Immediately shooting into

Besides, eventually she will be getting powers of her own (Killer Frost?), so she will have her own storyline for that.

Whenever I see Vincent Cassell's name, I think of Seymour Cassell, then I imagine ol' Seymour in Vincent's roles. I think he would improve every one of them, through the sheer absurdity of it.

Maybe she just likes movies with hardcore sex scenes.

I don't give a darn about any of this grammar talk. I just want someone to jack me off now.

But the Haitian zombies are an entirely different creature from almost everything post-Romero. Heck, I don't even think Night of the Living Dead used the word "zombie". Romero Zombies are really more like traditional ghouls (undead, pack monsters consuming humans) than traditional zombies (undead servants of magician

Yes, originally Oompa Loompas were essentially well-treated African slaves. It should be noted that the actual chocolate industry involved Europeans establishing large plantations in Africa, where workers were treated deplorably. To this day, the chocolate industry uses child labor & effective slavery. The Ooompa

Wow. I did not remember that existing. Apparently, it was called Thanks, & featured Cloris Leachman, Jim Rash, and the police captain from Psych (Kirsten Nelson). Looks like they wrung 6 episodes out.

Definitely the worst scene in the overrated Traffic. It was like something out of a Reefer Madness porno spoof. "If you're good white girls do drugs, they will be reduced to SLEEPING WITH BLACK MEN! THE HORROR!"

Decades ago, when I was a child, my dad used to insist that the "wah wah" speech was meant to imply that kids never listen to adults (my father was an adult with children when these came out). This, of course, is crazy, since the kids are clearly listening & responding. I've always believed it was because the adults

Well, he is too close in age to the others for him to make sense as Jim (Hannibal is younger than Adam Nee, who plays Tom). Not that a movie based on the idea of "Huck Finn 2015" should be getting anywhere near the character of Jim. No way that ends well.

Trying to copy an auteur is almost always a bad idea - just look at all the terrible Tarantino clones that came out during the 90's (and later). The funny thing is, a good, stylish director will freely steal techniques & tricks from others; they just use them in service of their own vision. Bad directors treat it

I haven't thought of Gods and Generals in years. At the time it came out, I worked for a guy who had been kicked out of the John Birch Society for being too extremist (really). He was a classic "War of Northern Aggression"-type, with a love for the Civil War (but not its outcome) and hatred for any suggestion that we

He is Groot

It has been forever since I have seen this (I only saw it during it's initial release), but I seem to have gotten the vibe that John is Sydney's son, not a mere surrogate, and this was his way of helping out a child he had abandoned, who would likely reject him if he knew.

Not to mention Paul Dano's relationship with his family (and the other Paul Dano's relationship with his family)

Thanks. It was really starting to bother me that I couldn't keep the whole process straight in my head. This is why zombies are still relatively rare: only an unusual combination of chemicals, or a zombie bite can cause it, and the zombies have been on a meals program.

I've watched this entire series, & I'm a little embarrassed that I don't quite understand the entire Utonium/Max Rager/Zombism connection. The Zombie problem was started by tainted Utonium, right? The energy drink doesn't contribute to zombies, does it? So, Max Rager is connected to zombies because they….had a hand in

I enjoyed Other Space, but Yahoo Screen is just so obscure. The quality is poor, there is little done to promote it, and very few things worth watching on it.

In fairness, "precision" is not the same thing as "accuracy". If I out all my shots in a five-inch circle, 5 meters off target, I am both very precise and wildly inaccurate.
