The interesting this to me is that for all the talk of how easy it is to tie in that game or of people making a dumb move, very few people actually understand the "strategy" of tic-tac-toe at all. Even in the movie, for as much as they talk about how there is no way to win, suggesting they...

Here is my problem with the premise of the review. Having a fun with a bunch of set pieces is all fine and dandy, but if you are going to set it upon the framework of an existing story, I get to hold that against you. By using the outline of someone else's work to bolster your own, you yourself...

Actually, chances are that Sony does own the rights to Scarlet Spider. While we don't know the specific details (unless the hackers have it on file somewhere), we do know in the general sense that these picture deals include the rights to all related characters and villains. And being the clone...

I was willing to forgive it the first time out because I knew what you meant, but this time it just doesn't work. Censorship and what the 1st Amendment protects you against (and similar regulations in other countries) are related but not the exact same thing. Its a rectangle vs square issue...

I am going to move past the content of your argument and point out the fallacy in its overarching premise. Your argument is basically one of those typical internet dismissals of "its fiction so deal with it". The problem with that is that it has never been an effective argument. The concept...

The clone troopers were evolved into Storm troopers which began to use other varieties of clone templates and eventually human recruits. It's never explicitly stated in the films but it is implied (and touched on in the now defunct EU).

Honestly, yuck. Since it is the first thing people are talking about, the lightsaber crossguards are dumb. Not light-whip or light-nunchucks dumb, but dumb none the less. But that wasn't what looked bad to me. Even with the quick cuts, you could tell the Storm Trooper scene had a strobe...

I am indifferent toward the riding with raptors stuff. I can find a lot of justifications for that. But I don't know how you can call the genetic hybrid thing original. A lot of people are comparing it to Deep Blue Sea, which is not inaccurate. And that movie was a deconstruction. It was fun...

For a movie that is trying to keep everything under wraps, it seems every bit of info that does get disseminated is just terrible. I want to believe this is the most elaborate prank ever. I mean, the odds of getting every single thing wrong is just so remote. You almost have to know what is...

I don't know what Marvel is planning with all this, but I do know that AvX was terribly written. Every single character took a full bottle of stupid pills in order to check mark the plot advancement boxes. Worse than Civil War for out of character behavior to me. So whatever else they are...

The Lego Movie was in February but Winter Soldier was not. It had premiers in mid March, European wide release in late March and didn't get a US release till the first week of April. That's still precedes the "traditional" start of blockbuster movie releases (May) by quite a bit, but it wasn't...

Snipes wanting to do another Blade and Marvel Studios wanting him to do it are vastly different things. Marvel doesn't need him and, considering his widely publicized "behavior" on the third, they probably don't want him either. Marvel is practically printing money right now, and if they...

I really hope they don't. I have absolutely nothing against Robin Williams, I just don't see the need to immortalize a guy in a different medium he wasn't directly involved in just because he was a famous example of a fan. Also, if I were Nintendo, I might hesitate at the idea of honoring a...

Wasn't their excuse for not being at Comic Con that they didn't have enough footage? But now a week later and principle photography is done? I guess they had to in order to meet their September deadline (rights would revert) but every time I hear something new about this film it just looks...

It's one thing if people are complaining just because it is different. It's something else when they are complaining because it is worse, which is most often the case. All the book readers understand that liberties need to be taken to transition from one medium to another. The problem is that in...
