Good job reassuring us all that this Disney film is, in fact, going to have naughty fucking language. Not so good a job reassuring us it will actually be quality entertainment. We'll see.

Well, there's nothing for it but to cast Helen Mirren as a glamorous, fierce, highly-controlling CEO of a sex robot corporation that gets unexpectedly conquered by the M3GAN AI, causing sex bots everywhere to awaken... awkwardly. When the uprising hits the headquarters, we see Helen take a fatal...

I just checked in to see how one of my favorite HTF threads is doing (the other one being The Abyss). After reading a thoughtful exploration of the legal morality raised by the recent ALIENS Blu-Ray transfer—as compared and contrasted to taking a dump on some geese sculptures—I can assert being...

Spider-Jesus? That could certainly be a different interpretation. "Don't let your spidey senses tingle with worry. You trust in your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man; trust also in me."

An a Dwan, an a too, an a twee, an a for...

Thinking the next reveal will be "U". Gotta drag this out, right?

Ah, yes... the infamous "Get the cheese to sickbay!" episode. I may have actually stopped watching Voyager after one, can't quite remember. I did check in sporadically over its run but not much improved, so I sat out almost the entire show until I got the DVD box set... and suffered my way...

This gives me a great idea… what if I got my girlfriend a “standard edition” engagement ring? You know, without all the superfluous “extras” like diamonds and gold. She’ll love it! “Crom!”

You cited some excellent counter examples that exemplify stories involving actual drama and stakes, "Khan" in particular because Nimoy's future involvement in Trek was assumed to be nil. When viewed in 1982, this movie stunned because it personally affected Kirk, his crew, and the audience...

Yes... because it tends to go with an over-reliance on "artificial excitement," as David Gerrold put it in "The World of Star Trek." To wit: it's far easier to show "exciting" things happening when nothing of import is actually happening, or personally involves anyone—except superficially. Lots...

I could rant, but this show really lost me when they installed flame-shooters on the bridge of the NCC-1031-A. Sparks still fly and "rocks" still ricochet everywhere when consoles made of programmable matter explode. You'd think after 930 years, someone would invent the fuse box.

Ah, yes... Color Purple II: Lost Caverns.
