Re: Batman Beyond: Terry's Friend Dates a Robot

I am surprised that during Justice League Unlimited they didn't aim for continuity porn and say that this "Stepford Wife" was the latest iteration of the robot Toy Man made and... I think was destroyed during Static Shock. They could have had Superman and Static go into the future and meet Batman Be...

Re: Alex Jones must pay $49 million to the victims of Sandy Hook

Apparently punitive damages are capped in Texas which seem to believe that rich people should not suffer consequences for their actions. So I am guessing that Jones will not have to worry about the loss of money... more just criminal charges for all the perjury and whatever the hell comes out about ...

Re: The Mar A Lago Raid

Considering Trump is a moron whose best grift during his entire 4 years as president seems to have amounted to selling trinkets and begging for money from his troglodyte fanbase the idea that he had all this material is strange. Was he holding on to it as some kind of leverage? Was he going to sell ...

Re: Prey: Thoughts

The movie kicked ass. Consistently displaying excellent basic film making ability with establishing shots that set mood, a variety to the environments and threats faced, and most importantly the constant effective use of set up and pay off that allows so much material to be paid off in a crescendo a...

Re: Voyager - Future's End

There was a topic that migrated through the internet and one of them was 'What if the 2015 United States as a whole was transported to 1815.' Now outside the obvious, well the US would curbstomp every nation. Then came the actual thinking. As in how do you get the 2015 technology to the rest of the...

Re: "Taika Waititi Will Expand ‘Star Wars’ Away from Preexisting Characters, Forget Prequel Origin Stories"

Considering the Ewok and Droids cartoons exist the idea of random bullshit is pretty deeply rooted in Star Wars. So long as he creates enough action figures and ship models to sell as toys I am sure they will let him do pretty much whatever he wants. Everyone keeps bitching about Star Wars, who care...

Re: Fringe: Pilot

Interestingly enough, the pilot episode had a budget of 10 million $, one of the most expensive series pilots at the time. I'm not sure what the showrunners spent the money on, did they buy a plane to burn it down, was that cow they used in the show that expensive, I just don't see those millions o...

I mean, what are the odds they'll hear something?

It would provoke more suspicion to tell people explicitly to not do it.

Re: Is Avatar: The Last Airbender's Technological Jump Greater than Korra's?

Overall in a world where magic is real, technological advancement will always feel weird. How much knowledge and power can be gleaned from the various gods and monsters running around? Maybe there is some kind of technology monster that helped spur the whole thing? If they don't want to spend time e...

Re: The Bizarre Series that is Friday the 13th

I did not care for the remake when it came out, but I have softened on it considerably since then as a distillation of the slasher genre presented unironically and shamelessly (very shamelessly, I think Michael Bay said the film was "excessive"). Strangely, the movie it was most trying to rip off in...
