Give Denis Leary and Stallone 120 minutes to complain about the future society as a thinly veiled critique of millennials. Expect a hack joke about safe spaces.

I've never read the books or seen the other adaptation but I liked it. With one big huge exception it has a good cast.

The career of Linus Roache really pisses me off. He was so good in Find Me Guilty and Before the Rains that I just wonder: is he cursed because he was in Chronicles of Riddick??

Yes. 24 is loving batshit insane and it's the best show ever made. What makes it so noteworthy is that it very clearly does not take place in our universe, but in a fictional universe of absurdity that exists solely to grow more and more ridiculous in order to make the main character, a murderous torturing psychopath, a heroic and sometimes even sympathetic character.

Season 1 is a solid legit thriller of a season and then Season 5 is must-watch television for just how over the top it gets, while also being hilariously entertaining and borderline slapstick in it's melodrama. Peter Weller plays a loving incredible villain, and he's not even the main one!

I remember seeing a picture of a very scantily clad sniper(?) from a newer MGS and some tweet or article claiming the reason behind the outfit is "powerful" or some poo poo like that. If it is the same character, it's more ridiculous than I thought!

That might have been a quote from Kojima, the guy who made the game who tweeted that "once you recognize the reason for her exposure, you will feel ashamed of your words & deeds."

I love the guy's games but lol just be honest about why she's dressed like that.

-Cruella insists that these dozens of cheaply-animated talking dogs are CGI and not real, while the rest of the cast gaslights her.

-Cruella finds herself in a Jack Bauer situation where making a puppy-skin coat is the only way to stop the impending nuclear detonation.

When I was in high school my junior year I had a study hall in the morning with one of the English teachers who would let us watch anything we wanted on the class tv. It was in 45 minute chunks over a week but this was how I first saw Casino. This is also how I first saw The Boondocks Saints and while I now think that movie sucks I'd be lying if I didn't say that I thought it was badass as a 17 year old.

We all remember that famous scene from Alien where they've got Ash's head talking to them about the alien and he says, "I admire it for no reason in particular. I'm just a cool robot with no opinion on anything that's been going on and I just do things arbitrarily."

There's nothing in the text of Rise of Skywalker that says that Rey's dad isn't Triclops Palpatine as we don't get a close enough look at the back of his head to say that there is or is not a third eye. We can see by the clear lack of a third eye on his forehead that he is definitely not Trioculus, the other three eyed man who was only pretending to be Palpatine's son.

Magneto in particular always has the issue that “holocaust survivor” becomes increasingly untenable as an origin the farther we get from WWII.

They solve the issue of Magneto getting too old in the comics by turning him into a baby for a little while.

He's old, he likes being rich and famous, but he doesn't want to do any more work than absolutely necessary. Unless he's really fired-up about the material, which I don't think he has been for a long time (The Sixth Sense), he's happy to drone out his lines and glower at people for a week of shooting in return for a few million dollars before going back to his mansion.

I don't know how he does it but Bruce Willis makes doing the bare minimum while still getting paid look miserable.

It's been terrible for a long time and there's basically nothing that they can do to hurt it's reputation at this point. May as well put some money behind it for the first time in decades.

There's no point in trying to copy Bradley's look and performance as Pinhead so going with something totally different is a good idea.
