Please know that I am truly interested in understanding here, and am not being obtuse. I only mentioned a calculator because it does in seconds what took a talented human a long period of time. And just as some people could never do the type of math that a calculator does, I could never do the...

Looks like an old Jedi Knight. But what is the issue? My calculator can do calculations that took humans hours to days by hand in the past. Again, if I tried to sell a collection of artwork that I made in the above style, I would run up against the copyrights that Disney owns and get shut...

I may be typing from a place of ignorance here, and am looking to understand the issue better, but as long as the output doesn't violate existing copyright law (ie the output work is significantly different from the original so as to not run afoul of copyright law) why do artists need protection...

Saw Sinners two weeks ago and it's still bouncing around in my head. Easily one of the best movies I've seen this decade. Agree with @prabe that the epilogue is good but not essential for the story, though it does put an interesting twist on the overall theme of the film and what the vampire's...

I mean, the good girl falling for the bad boy is a cliche in stories, song and in life. She's attracted to the forbidden nature of the relationship (having a secret when you live a very public life is intoxicating), the fact that he is basically a super hero (or a sports mega star in our...

I'll agree that the dialogue is poorly written by Lucas, but the motivations behind the characters are clear based on the actions each takes, and the story itself is great. He had the same problem with Jar Jar in TPM. The character is supposed to be grating and annoying to the characters...

People dying of grief is a real thing (see Carrie Fisher's mom dying a few days after she passed, and there are countless stories of spouses dying within weeks of each other). Padme isn't sad about a boy, she realizes that she made a terrible mistake in believing that if she loved Anakin...

Phantom Menace is my 2nd most rewatched film of the Saga (New Hope is first). I fought the good fight online for over a decade with the haters and am so happy to finally seeing it get the love it so deserves. Saw it about 10 times in the theatre and then when it came out on VHS I was at home...

Started the Crystal Cave adventure from QftIS last night. First 2 hours were spent exploring the city of Sybar mingling with the locals for rumors about the waring families, eventually day drinking at the Ocean's Draw tavern, getting warned off their quest by another adventuring group who just...

I'm going May 7! If any EnWorlders would like to meet at a tavern for a drink that night, DM me!

Episode 8 took out S3 with a bang. Some major changes from the books. Still seems very confident in where it's headed. At this point, I'm thinking they'll need 7 seasons to tell the full story. Hope they get picked up for the rest of it soon.

Fair enough, if we were picking favorite Superhero movies of all time, Age of Ultron and X:2 would be tops for me. I can rewatch those two flicks on endless repeat. Exactly my point, Clint, SFX and CGI aren't everything! I'm actually not a huge original Superman fan myself (I know, heresy)...

Thank you for pointing me to the Wiki, already proving immensely helpful! That's gonna be quite the rabbit hole for me.

Wait, are you arguing that Black Panther doesn’t stick the landing because of a couple of mediocre SFX? The dramatic action, characters and themes of the movie are landed perfectly at the end.

Just finished Winter's Heart (wow that ending)! I'm still trying to process everything that happened in that final chapter (need to read it again) but is there a good online guide to WoT? I feel like I've jumbled up some characters and events, and am having trouble connecting everything and...

Bozeman was great but it's the fully realized villain, and Jordan's portrayal of him, that elevates this movie to incredible heights. What's important isn't just the representation, it's the tackling of big themes that matter to today, and making the audience think and empathize with these...

This is tough! I think to tackle this question, I'd first put together a list of Hall of Fame Superhero movies. That is, those films that you can't tell the story of the evolution of the genre without. My HOF: Superman (1978) Batman (1989) X-Men: X-2 (2003) The Dark Knight (2008) Iron Man...

Maybe it's all of the visual rhyming with Gandalf's last stand in FotR, but I expect Loial to be back at some point. As for Alana, well, it does make sense that the focus of any attack against a force with Ae Sedai would be on taking out the wizards (sorcerers) quickly. They are battlefield...

While it didn't have the same emotional impact for me that 4 and 6 this season, I really admire what a well executed battle this was on screen. Some big changes from what I remember from the books, will be interesting to see how that plays out.

Strange thing, but the scenes have looked great on my TV, and poorly lit night scenes are one of my ultra pet peves in modern television.
