“Dark” scifi is the default mode of movie and television scifi. Doing a “darker”, more “morally ambiguous” version of Trek is the lazy way to do Trek. Utopianism is the daring move nowadays. Utopianism is radical. Trek doesn’t need to be assimilated into the relentless chorus of scifi that tells us that we can’t hope…

Is it possible you were looking for a place to shit and just picked this show? I’ve never been blown away by the first episode of anything and think it’s a little soon to dump on this. Pinch it off and wait a few episodes. Thanks.

Well, according to every other commenter here, I am apparently a complete moron because I actually found this funny and entertaining.

I believe people that say this is a good movie, but I still cant muster the energy to watch it. I’ve been burned too many times before.

Well, on one hand, this is so brief that we almost can’t tell where they’ll be going with it in the larger sense. On the other hand, yes everything looks as though it’s washed out, and the character designs look rough and haggard. The last bugs me especially, as what makes Light scary is that he is a smart villain,…

“They stole my life... so I will take my revenge?” What? Nothing in that relates to the world of Ghost In The Shell at all. It doesn’t matter whether this is ‘Kusinagi’ or ‘Mira’ or whatever - the fundamental premise of the very world, the very scenario of the story - is completely wrong. Having a machine body is no…

I kinda love Source Code, though. It’s not great. It might not even be good. But it’s a very specific kind of mediocre that hits me perfectly.

I’m not sure why the execs don’t realize general audiences hate JLaw. This won’t get over the 40 mil mark in the opening weekend. Why do you think Pratt giving crap to JLaw got so much play.

I’m starting a club of people who are eager and ready to see much, much less of Jennifer Lawrence in any capacity.

At this point, she’s such a huge star that she is derailing a narrative. Take this summer’s X-Men Apocalypse. Raven “Mutant and Proud” Darkholme spends the movie in human drag because Lawrence didn’t want to spend hours in prosthetics. It made no goddamn sense in the story.

ugh, she looks out of place in every movie. how this person continues to get work is beyond me. she’s a TERRIBLE actress.

I live in Japan and teach at a Japanese university. I have a shit ton o’ students, all of which are first and second year; they’re relatively normal young Japanese adults. When the story came out about the studio altering actors to look more Japanese, I asked my classes about it and also their feelings on the casting…

They’re walking down the street and there’s Keanu on a bench eating a sandwich in the background

Make the character Bhutanese. Or Nepalese. Or... you know any other Asian country except Tibet.

Acknowledging that Tibet exists is not being political. China doesn’t think that there’s a void where Tibet is.

This article is kind of a mess. First of all, that quote is attributed to Derrickson, when it originated from Carghill. Both Derrickson & Feige have since refuted Cargill’s claims and flat out said it’s not true. Secondly, including Tibet is not going to alienate China, since as said, it’s not like China refutes the…

Ah, the wonders of makeup. No need for CGI!

‘Vulture’s source concludes with the heartening news that “Mulan is and will always be the lead character in the story, and all primary roles, including the love interest, are Chinese.”’
