    Ghost in the Shell (Teaser)

    We're throwing around street cred? Well, I see your qualifications and raise you four years of film school and an average of 600 films per year at my peak. So, I'm not entirely out of my depth when I say I recognize plot and character development when I see it. Anyway, the trailer is out...

    The Walking Dead (s7 spoilers!)

    I did not see that coming. When the Blood Ravens dropped down from orbiting Imperatus, I was just dumbfounded. Who would have thought that cross-over was gonna happen. Looking forward to all the purging that's gonna happen this season. Some hints were dropped supporting the long standing...

    Ghost in the Shell (Teaser)

    I can't disagree with you more. Her attempting to understand her own character and her place in the world is the premise of the film and the reason for the climax. I don't know what sort of depth you're looking for if this doesn't qualify as character development.

    Ghost in the Shell (Teaser)

    Exactly. One of the things that interested me about the movies is that the world of the near future in GitS seems plausible. There wasn't such a giant leap forward in technology and more importantly, not one in society. We see the struggles and conflicts arising from where old meets new...

    Ghost in the Shell (Teaser)

    Allow me to qualify my following thoughts by saying that I am extremely biased. Pardon the cliché, but when I saw the original movie for the first time, it blew my mind. This film defined the genre for me. Heck, it defined movies for me. Every movie I've seen since has been held up to...

    If we were contacted by aliens tomorrow...

    The Asari from Mass Effect. Hot blue aliens. What's not to love? I'm also speaking on behalf of William Shatner.

    Test - Delete This

    Which one? There are so many. I think it would be an affront to the button maker if I didn't push at least a few.

    Test - Delete This

    What are we testing? Is it important? Do these buttons do anything?

    What Star Wars Has Lost

    Again with the food analogies. First it was lasagna, now you're on desert. Are you being fed well enough?

    I said ruin, not world ending.

    How to ruin a classic movie

    Up first we have the classic neo-noir sci-fi film by Ridley Scott and the amended final words of Roy Batty: "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be...

    Rogue One trailer

    Reshoots happen all the time. You probably don't hear about them because it's such a frequent occurrence.

    Exotic Matter

    So from what I gather, when we talk about exotic matter, we're more in the realm of fiction than science. It's strictly a placeholder value to make a formula work? Is that a fair assessment? If we're in the realm of fiction, let's make the assumption that matter with such properties exists...

    Effectiveness of riot shields for medieval type fighting

    I don't know if I would trust the durability of a riot shield made in China.

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (Oh dear...)

    I was referring to the two in here having words with each other.

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (Oh dear...)

    Ya'll are having a discussion about whose opinion is better. As for what RT thinks: Meh, they gave borefest Age of Ultron 75%. I can't take such an aggregate site seriously if that's their opinion. I'm gonna see BvS tomorrow. I'll see what's what.
