IIRC, didn't Darth Vader experience a holographic representation of the Emperor in Empire? And wasn't that Emperor just as tall as Snoke?

I'm not sure I understand the box office response as I really enjoyed the film. I thought T3 and Salvation were both meh so I was concerned that Genisys would have been strike three but I was pleasantly surprised. Yeah, I didn't get it either. I saw it on the 3rd, and I loved it. I echo Cail's sent...

There was an episode of That 70's Show, when the gang went to see Star Wars for the first time. Picture me as Kelso.

movie over.

All true, except that Superman rarely kills his enemies. Especially if they're mere humans.

And only one red-shirt among them.

C'mon, you were thinking it.

I missed end of last season, and beginning of this...but then got caught up. And NOW it's on break for a month. I was SO glad to see Mrs. Grimm go bad-ass. I've been thinking about how it happened and it makes sense. The first spell required a hexenbiest, so the second spell required it, too. To th...

Anyone still watching this? Things are getting quite tense.

Oh man. So many bad movies, so little time. Hot Stuff -- I remember this, back in the days when I was less discriminating. But I still laugh when it comes on. Is that nostalgic? Tremors -- I have always loved how they never find out where they come from. Ice Pirates -- space herpes? Deep Rising -- i...

I still prefer Bill Cosby's take:

Noah: ... and you haven't even looked in the bottom of the ark! No? Who's gonna clean up that mess down there!?

Really enjoyed this. However ... There are some clear Farscape connections. Chris Pratt certainly has the Ben Browder swagger down. Of course, Groot is the sentient plant of the group, even if his conversation is limited. But the one that really got me was the "Home on the Remains" paralle...

If there's one thing that bugged me about the film, though, it's that: All the work you see him putting into perfecting the runs through all the repeat days make it very hard to believe they got through Paris in one run after he lost his power. I realise they feel they have to raise the stakes to m...

The ending was fine. Actually, what could have made it better would have been for the Creator to show up, hit a 'pause' button, and then 're-set' The Land. I think that it takes a lot of believability that Thomas Covenant, Linden Avery, and Jeremiah, can put the whole 'thing' back together -- unles...

First off, Skye isn't quite human, though we don't know yet what she is.

Also, Coulson's drawing was triggered from seeing Garret's drawings.

Jasper Sitwell also made an appearance in the first Thor movie. It appears the Marvel people have been cultivating Shield characters for some time.

Anyone who saw Jackson's LOTR ought to have been aware that he is in love with the word, "more." I think it was entirely predictable that Jackson had to use Smaug much more than the book (in all fairness, Smaug is a bit player in the book ... conversation with Bilbo, attempt to find and bu...

It's been years since I watched tv regularly, although this show has caught my attention. If American television runs the same as when I watched it thirty years ago, they have two "sweeps" periods: November and May. The sweeps periods are when ratings can really matter, as advertisers det...

Darsint is different from the Haruchai, in that his physical strength is not his own, but rather, is enhanced by the suit that he wears. In actuality, the Haruchai were also enhanced by the Earthpower. In their normal state they were not very long lived, nor able to avoid sleep. Perhaps they weren'...

It seemed to me from the trailers that the movie departed significantly from the book. Particulary, book-Ender isn't really told what's going on, whereas movie-Ender seems to be "in on it" all along -- which seems to defeat the purpose of training someone by having them feel all alone, do...

Actually, Indiana Jones had to be there at the end or the next group that came along might have opened the Ark and, whoops, another set of vanished government operatives.

And I agree with TOM. The movie was about the adventure not the result.

One of the best episodes so far in season 3 is War of the Coprophages , which is surprising because it's a silly episode that doesn't take itself seriously at all. It's actually the second funny episode this season, both by the same writer (who also wrote Humbug). I wasn't as keen on the first one,...
