You know what with the Peanuts trailer? You can assume it's not going to get screwed up, but here's the thing: the trailer actually caught the spirit of Peanuts, IMO. You have Charlie Brown, who constantly gets upstaged by his comically pain-in-the-ass dog (if you don't think Snoopy was a...

THIS! I'd also like to add *slow clap* for that opening. We were howling over here. Oh, and if you have the choice to keep Keith David or cut Keith David, you KEEP KEITH DAVID. That's just common sense.

I hear people saying "flush out" a lot, when what the really mean is "flesh out". As in: "We really need to flush out those paragraphs to better describe what we're looking for." No. You don't. To flush out means to evacuate. To flesh out, on the other hand, means to expand upon...

On a completely different tack, I'm going to go with things that bug me based on popular entertainment: Justin Timberlake as an actor - He's like the Madonna of this decade. That's not a good thing. Alexa Ray Joel - For those who don't know, this is Billy Joel's daughter. A few years...

Feminism doesn't mean you should be able to hit women. However, you're against feminism if you're a girl and hide behind being a girl to keep a guy from hitting you if you're attacking him. Of course, I've been in martial arts for more than five years and I have the hardest time getting...

Carlin was also Rufus in the Bill and Ted movies. And Denis Leary was a Ladybug in A Bug's Life.

I remember when Megan Fox was rumored to be in the running for the role of Catwoman. I called it back then, it was more than likely just a stunt floated by her or someone who would profit off of her to get public reaction and/or to rally fan support to get the actor into the role. That...

Christ, they actually made a movie of that? That book was so. frigging. LAME. If you grew up on The Twilight Zone, you pretty much figured out what was going on in the first few chapters.

I've been a part of these discussions before, but I may as well jump in as part of the she-nerd contingent. It's really hard to say who perpetuates more, but both sides are kind of guilty. Guys: you have to lighten up and let us talk for a little while before you start mansplaining things...

I'm not convinced Firefly did anything to get people into westerns more. I read somewhere that Whedon based Serenity on The Searchers (which: Bull. Shit.), but was there a resurgence of popularity for that movie? I don't think so. That just came off to me as a name Whedon rattled off...

Also:

Ah, yes, Joss Whedon lamenting the poor, downtrodden women. Pepper Potts in Daisy Dukes, Maria Hill's uniform includes platforms and Black Widow's wiles consist specifically of being as sexy as possible at all times while appearing nice and intimidatable. Joss Whedon can bite me for his...

I just got back from this, and WOW. Just...WOW. Of the five movies I've seen this summer, this basically handed all of 'em their asses.

Good poems, both you blokes! Also, Yahtzee is a damn-fine looking guy, although in a suit, va-va-voom! (Yes, I am well aware he is asexual, still not gonna lie, he's a fine looking guy.)

So I finally got around to seeing this (what? I'm kind of a grownup with other things to do), and you will never get me to believe this is a Zach Snyder movie written by David Goyer. It looks, talks and feels like a Christopher Nolan movie. Which isn't really bad in some ways. I like the...
