It’s weird how forgettable this Tomb Raider reboot was. I think Alicia Vikander possesses a uniquely enthralling beauty and she’s got acting chops. It was filled with really interesting actors like Walton Goggins, Dominic West, Kristen Scott Thomas, Nick Frost. I saw it opening weekend in IMAX, because I just needed…

“The baffling, ludicrous, utterly unserious claim that a guy joshing you on Twitter is anything close to “totalitarian regimes” is absolutely insane, but it’s also a good indicator of where, precisely, Stephens is operating from: a sense that any personal slight to him, no matter how small, is nothing less than a…

I once read some interview with one of the show’s writers that said Doherty was the writing room’s favorite because she was a pro who would always inflect the line exactly as written, and that a lot of the cast hate for her was founded in petty jealousy for how good she was at her job. She had a photographic memory,…

Beyond was the best Trek movie since First Contact. And I say that as a guy who like Star Trek 09. JJ Abrams is not the best plotter out there, but he knows how to create interesting characters in even the shortest amount of time. He even made George Kirk interesting!

That’s actually false, especially when it comes to Discovery. CBS owned the IP for Star Trek, so they had the right to use anything related to Star Trek, while Paramount owned only the movie distribution rights and Bad Robot licensed the IP from CBS to make the Kelvin timeline movies. They may or may not have been…

Bring back Agent Carter, you cowards.

I hope they bring Fury and Maria Hill back for the last season of Agents of SHIELD, though  if it takes place post-snap that might be difficult (among other factors) 

If you haven’t been watching the show, the trailer is just going to confuse you. Because you might be thinking “Oh, that’s Agent Coulson,” but, uh, no, it ain’t.

It’s L+7 numbers have always been solid and it is a very loyal fan base.

As long as these two get their happy ending, I’m good.

Wasn’t the final seventh season announced when the sixth season was made official?  This doesn’t seem like new information.

Guest starring is Joel Stoffer, Karolina Wydra, Briana Venskus, Coy Stewart, Christopher James Baker, Jan Uddin and Shainu Bala.

Hot Take-Rome Was Bad up above makes a good argument about the fiscal cost of being out in the eighties and nineties and how it can feel when the “babies” come along and snap up relatively cushy lifestyles and acceptance while you’ll never be able to retire. It’s a good and important point, I think.

Gaytekeeping?

Yeah, it is judgmental. It’s also often coming from people who made a different choice, to come out younger to light a path for the people still in the closet, who suffered to make space for the people who had the privilege to wait and lie about their identity and gain power in society by doing so.

Thanks for articulating this in a way I couldn’t. Super cool to be felt like an outsider all of your life in the straight world, but even cooler to enter the gay community and then be derided because you’re not the “right type of gay”.

Peck’s column popped up in my newsfeed on Saturday and I read it all the way through. Within its text, one thing became clear to me (me: a 57 year old gay man who went through the early 90s in NY and LA - and all that meant, too): Peck is stuck in a time and place and suffering from arrested development. I’d wager…

Thanks for the perspective, but you really don’t think that a historically progressive magazine like The New Republic publishing an article that argues that because a gay politician came out relatively later in life than the current norm, he won’t be able to focus on his job because he’ll be too busy exploring his…

...even though Butler looks nothing like the King of Rock and Roll to me.
