Supergirl needs some too!

The first example of a new cinematic style is brilliant; the fortieth is ridiculous.

This, a 1000x over.

Pretty much my reaction when Mockingjay trailer showed up on my TV.

Using your reference pic, I’d like to add “splitting the final film in a multi-film series into two parts” to the list.

It is an actual term, but you don’t use it in your movie. You wouldn’t just call your macguffin The Macguffin.

As one of those dorks that can’t watch 3D without getting a splitting headache, yes yes YES. I’ve had to go to separate screenings from my family and friends many times because of this fucking blight.

Well, what would you prefer, yellow spandex?

I have to agree. It’s just bad storytelling, and a tipoff that the writer doesn’t know how to write decent exposition. If you have to try and hook the audience by showing the end first, it means you know the beginning is exposition-heavy and boring, and have to try and get some excitement going at the outset.

Listen to the commentary from the BSG episode “Black Market.” It’s one of the worst episodes in the series and Ron Moore lays it out that if you see someone using the 24 hours earlier (or other metric) shtick, it’s because they could not write a good opening and had to jump to the climax to engage the watcher out of…

Yep. ShakeyCam - Quick cuts and extreme closeups have ruined nearly every action/fight scene for 15+ years.

Counterpoint: that time in Firefly where you get to see Mal naked, twice, due to use of this device.

Nothing will ever beat Avatar.

Lazy plot devices.

Domestic abusers should only be given a limited number of chances to rehabilitate and end their abusive behavior before future incidents qualify them to be imprisoned permanently or executed... and for there to be no set qualifier other than what the professional opinions of at least 3 psychiatric professionals…

How about breaking them into as many movies as possible?

It’s not so much the execution drug that’s expensive, it’s the years and years of sitting on death row (expensive) while multiple appeals (expensive) take place. I believe death row inmates have a longer life expectancy than people in for life.

I feel the same way. He, like so many others, deserve death, but it would lower our humanity to give it to them. A bolt from Zeus going through his head would come in handy for guys like this.

There are times when I question my belief that the death penalty has no place in a modern, developed, progressive nation.
