^Thank you. I’m planning to catch it early next weekend. I’m looking forward to the film and if it works for me Shyamalan’s trilogy could be up there for me. I love the idea of Superhero films that are actually more about what they would be like in the real world ( probably why I don’t care for Kic...
Let me ask you this, was Jet Li's evil Emperor in The Mummy 3 racist? No. Because in that movie, Chinese people are present among both the heroes and the villains. Nowhere is it stated or even suggested that the villain is evil because of his ethnicity. The Mandarin is different. Him being an evil ...
It's a truism about female movie character-- that they can be a mother OR a competent heroine, but never both at the same time. Joss Whedon is especially guilty of this.
The sad thing is, Disney as a company was founded on risk-taking endeavors. Snow White ? Pinocchio ? Fantasia ? Those were all risky movies by the standards of their time.

The “tarnishing” comment is less about quality than it is public image. Disney has branded itself 100% on being all about family friendly entertainment because that’s where the most money is at. They’ll allow their PG-13 films to dip into darker material but mostly in a surface level way. Disney ha...
The original novel would be ideal for a Westworld-style prestige adaptation. It’s not a happy fun story about how dinosaurs are really cool and venture capitalists are wizards until greedy fat men and lawyers ruin things. Plus they could actually adapt Crichton’s sequel, to which the second film be...
Remember how I said I hated Elfen Lied ? How I thought it was a pretentious, hypocritical mess of a story that wasted a potentially interesting premise? Well, a couple days ago--purely for shits and giggles-- I started Lynn Okamoto's other teenage-girls-with-terrifying-superpowers series, Brynhildr ...
So how do I make that appear in this forum? It looks to me like Imgur has changed. It used to be they had a special format that you could copy and paste into message boards and forums.
