SPACESHIP!

Sometimes I think Marvel writers try to be too clever. Not everything needs a neat tie up in the comics.

I love conspiracy movies, especially the ones from the 70s, so for a long time Winter Soldier was my favorite Marvel movie (I don’t consider the comparison to be quite as nonsensical as Tom Breihan evidently does). That said, I can’t deny that Guardians had the bigger impact, and it was a very fun movie in its own…

Winter Soldier is, I reckon, the better Marvel movie of the two, but I can’t deny just how game-changing Guardians of The Galaxy really is. It proved that Marvel Studios didn’t need X-men, or at least can still be a thing without waiting for Fox to cough up their Infinity Stone, so to speak. It proved that Marvel has…

Calling a white celebrity racist = lots of lots of clicks. The fact that they brought in a bullshit peddler experimental psychology professor to diagnose Neeson with the racism is just one of the many hoops they’ve had to jump through to make this one stick.  Most of us have clearly seen through it.  

He obviously brought it up because the revenge angle plays pretty heavy in the new movie he’s interviewing about. He goes on to explain why he felt those feelings, and the time/context in which those feelings came up. He’s expressed shame and regret for those feelings.  His only mistake was sharing them with a bunch…

You forgot the exclamation point. It’s “Star Wars prequels forever!” Imagine it like I’m shouting it at you from a moving car.

why? 

(Full disclosure: This author has interviewed Brennan herself, and appears with her high school concert orchestra in the “I Believe I Can Fly” video.)

This is a much more sensible ranking.

11. Jessica Jones S2.

Yes. I desperately wanted some standalone case episodes.

Or, at the very least, 8 episodes about Killgrave and 5 episodes that were standalone stories of Jessica being a detective.  Like the mix you used to see on the X-Files.

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.

I’m not saying I predicted that the entire thing was a digital simulation for elderly and terminal patients, but the fact that the episode starts in the 80's is itself a huge flag that something about the setting is fake.

Did people not pick up on the simulation thing before the reveal? I’m not trying to be a smarty pants but the car crash thing made it feel pretty obvious to me (although I didn’t pick up that they were old folks).

“The obsession with Buddy Rich is really just a symptom of a larger problem in Whiplash, which is that it’s not really a movie about jazz. The film simply uses jazz as a vehicle to tell a story about ambition and the willingness to do what it takes to be great.”

Then....it’s not really a problem? If the movie is not…

To summarize: We won’t be recapping any of these episodes, but heaven forbid we drop our coverage of Walking Dead or Modern Family!

The picture of them in front of the giant crowd of people is *such* bad green screen
