I personally didn't find it racist because that's pretty much lifted right out of the comics (I think he just gets his arm blown off instead of his head, but they couldn't exactly have them dragging a maimed guy around for the whole movie) except in the comics Slipknot's white. In other words, it wasn't a matter of…

I'd have been astonished if Croyd Crenson didn't show up, seeing as how he's one of the few characters long-lived enough to turn up at any point during the books' decades-long timeline and he looks different every time he turns up so they can recast him at will. My biggest concern with the character is that they'll…

I know Martin appears to be a pretty slow writer, but I have to think even he can't take more than a few days to sign his name on a production deal.

While it is amusing sometimes to see law enforcement "cracking down" on things that barely seem to merit any amount of cracking, I'm not sure I want to live in a world where the authorities aren't allowed to go after any crimes until all the worse crimes have been wiped out. Like, "I'm sorry your car was stolen, but…

I think the only thing you got wrong was that Captain Boomerang did have special boomerangs, they were just useless. He had the one with the camera in it that the big guy (did he even get a name other than "brother"?) shot down (and yet he, of all people, was the one who got the "what the heck is that?" line when the…

My theory is that the only direction the actress was given was "grab your sword whenever someone else is talking" so she needed to be where the most talking was likely to be. I mean, she could hardly grab her sword just standing out in the street with Flag.

Hey, at least Slipknot's face was on the screen during Waller's board room pitch. I'm convinced that Katana wasn't even added to the movie until after they shot the first few scenes.

The most mind-boggling thing about people who use "SJW" is that I can't imagine why they think the people they're using it to describe would find it an insult. It's like if liberals tried to mock NRA members by calling them "Second Amendment champions" (or 2ACs for short) and expecting them to be all "ooh, sick burn."

Well, I enjoyed it, but boy howdy was this a sloppy movie. I swear there's a character that just sprouts a beard between scenes that otherwise have no indication that they were supposed to take place a significant length of time apart. At one point there's a "shocking" revelation that rocks everyone to their core ……

I just hope that when he does get involved, the explanation for why he hadn't done anything previously isn't just that he couldn't be bothered. They could easily say that the reason he's been delegating to Loki and Ronan is that while they were failing their tasks* he was been busy personally tracking down the stones…

I honestly believe he will make America great again after the election. I mean, it stopped being great when his candidacy started, so it stands to reason it'll become great again when he loses.

It takes a lot of chutzpah to mock Obama's name when when you're shilling for a guy whose name is just an extra letter away from being "Rump."

Hey, technically you could ask him anything. I mean, if people weren't able to ask anything, Trump's minions wouldn't have had any undesirable questions to delete or questioners to ban. They only violated the spirit of the concept, not the letter.

I know the show doesn't really do anything to indicate this was their specific intent, but I always read Guinan's presence on the Enterprise in the altered timeline to be less a matter of the Federation at war deciding to put a bartender on a warship and more a function of the same special aspect of her species'…

I saw that too. Definitely a worthy successor. I pretty much enjoyed it from beginning to end.

I think the problem Juno has finding champions is the result of Diablo Cody failing so spectacularly to produce a worthy follow up that people retroactively assume that her breakout work must not have been as good as they at first thought. She's kind of like M. Night Shyamalan: once upon a time the consensus was that…

I guarantee you that if aliens that were unto humans as humans are unto Ewoks showed up on Earth tomorrow, there would be a certain select percentage of the human population that couldn't volunteer to snuggle with them fast enough.

It made Luke the most likely candidate to be her father. Whether or not that turns out to be the case depends on whether they were intentionally giving us (fairly obvious) clues, or planting red herrings so they can surprise us with a "shocking" twist.

I have a prediction to make, and this seems like as apropos a place as I'm going to get: One of the upcoming Star Wars movies (probably Episode VIII, because parallelism) will have the dramatic revelation of Rey's parentage, which will be played in the movie like a shock as big as the "I am your father" moment in…

As a kid, the only thing I liked about the Slimer spinoff was that, in theory, it meant no more Slimer-centric episodes of the main series. I don't remember if that theory actually panned out, but I do remember thinking "well, at least there's that."
