Feig directed episodes of Arrested Development (Tambor, Arnett, Cross), The Office (Carrell, Rainn Wilson), 30 Rock (Morgan), Bored to Death (Ted Fucking Danson, Galifianakis), Parks & Recreation (Offerman, Pratt), Weeds (Kevin Nealon), etc. He also created Freaks & Geaks (Seth Rogan, James...

If the stones react to Inhumans, then why did SHIELD need Daisy to use her powers to open the portal? Her being near it would've been enough.

Nevermind the fact that there has been talk of a Ghostbusters sequel forliterallymore thantwodecades. There have been rumors getting people excited about it over and over again, and people got excited because they wanted Ghostbusters III, not a reboot. After 20+ years of Bill Murray or Dan...

I think this is one of those disadvantages of the show being a prequel. The cliffhanger doesn't have much sting because weknowJimmy doesn't get disbarred. If this wasn't a prequel, we might be speculating more on what Chuck does with Jimmy's confession, but since we know Jimmy continues to...

Gus really doesn't seem like the type that would be in the middle of the desert to keep an eye on the Salamancas. Depending on how successful his restaurants and drug business is by this time, it'd be more likely he'd have someone to do that for him. Makes me wonder if the person who put the...

I'm still trying to figure out what this show is supposed to be accomplishing. When they were originally talking about the show, they said it was going to be set during the time when Rick was in the hospital, to show when and how humanity started to break down. And that would've actually been...

Claire was my biggest gripe with season 3, and she continued to be a gripe of mine for the first few episodes of season 4. But there's a big turning point in the middle of the season where she regains her competency and becomes just as cutthroat and domineering as she was in the early seasons...

I actually don't disagree too much on Bill. I understand what his purpose was, but he just became little more than a means to an end. Like I said, once Sadie knew the truth, Bill became irrelevant. It didn't even seem like that big of a deal to Jake that he drove Bill to suicide by having him...

- Chris Cooper's character (Al) really didn't have many options. He had gone back several times to try to prevent Kennedy being assassinated and failed every time. Jake was basically Al's last ditch effort since his cancer prevented him from having the time to make another attempt - or to go...

One of my main complaints with the book is that it's like 90% about saving Kennedy and then only like 5% of actually seeing the results. The actual consequences of Jake's actions felt so rushed. You basically get the same thing in the book you got in the show where Jake goes back and basically...

Did anyone really have a problem with Suicide Squad being dark? It's a movie about a bunch of villains essentially enslaved by the government to do their bidding under threat of death. I'm not sure anyone was expecting it to be a laugh riot. I mean, the movie is directed by David Ayer after...

Shotgun axe!

I question them reading The Dark Knight Returns as well. Even with as grizzled and cynical as Frank Miller made Batman, he repeatedly chooses non-lethal ways of taking down enemies even when lethal means are readily available. The only times I can find that he'sexplicitlyshown killing (if you...

Hopefully Affleck has more creative control over the Batman series that he can keep Snyder's influence to a minimum. It seemed like WB/DC was willing to give some control to him when he was cast since he got to bring the writer of Argo in to do rewrites. Considering the career Affleck has had...

Which I think speaks to why DC is having trouble establishing their universe. It isn't so much that they're using Batman and Superman as a crutch, but that they seemingly have no confidence in their other properties to be able to sell themselves. That's why they're working backwards and...

That was mostly fan-driven. According to Cranston, he was never approached or offered the role. I'm guessing DC went with Eisenberg because they were trying to go with something as radically different from Kevin Spacey as they could. I guess they succeeded?

What else were people going to see this weekend? Nia Vardalos trying to revive her career? Just shows that WB/DC made at least one good decision with this movie: flinching and rescheduling so they wouldn't be up against Captain America 3.

It's really funny seeing Snyder have to defend Batman killing when one of the primary complaints I always heard about MoS was that Superman killed.

The reviews remind me of Amazing Spider-Man 2. That movie felt far more focused on serving as a bridge to Sinister Six and making a Spider-Man cinematic universe (think they were also planning on a Black Cat movie) to the point where the Gwen storyline felt like a subplot that was only there to...

I was sort of surprised they got to the Free Trader Beowulf stuff so fast, particularly since it didn't seem like there was a lot of lead up to it. Perhaps it's just because they were in the second book, but I expected them to hold off a little longer on it considering what it leads to...

Yeah, but at least in Lost the questions were generally interesting enough that you could discuss and theorize about them. None of the questions Colony raises are really anything you can dig into because there's either so little information provided on them or they're just plain boring. The...

Hard to believe this is the same network that really jumped in quality last year by airing Mr. Robot. When you look over the entire season, barely anything actually happened. The show just strings you along, feeling more like that's the result of them trying to fill time rather than any...

All in all, I'm not really sure there's a ton to spoil from these books anyways. I don't recall them being books with a lot of twists. The biggest thing is obviously who the Beast is, but it's hard to tell if the show will follow the books or go in a different direction since they've already...

I'd agree that the CGI looks better, but I still don't think it's to the level where you can put the CGI characters beside real humans and not have there be a stark contrast. I think they did a fantastic job capturing Warcraft's orcs' (and dwarf's) aesthetic, but Warcraft's humans are stylized...

Problem is, she's really the only marketable face they have in these movies. Bryan Singer is going to overuse her like he did with Hugh Jackman in the original trilogy. Find the one person in your movie that sells tickets and make them central to the movies... I'm sure Singer really didn't...

I was wondering how obliquely they were going to handle the pedophilia. I wasn't sure if they were just going to allude to it or maybe do away with it altogether.

Yes, it's been renewed. I don't think they've given an official release date yet, but it's expected possibly around August.

Forgot about Josh. I can sort of understand his character being cut. He was more comic relief in the novel, whereas Elliot and Margo fit that role in the show. From what I recall, Elliot and Janet were amusing characters in the book, but more due to their sarcasm and cynicism and not as...

I read before the show aired that they were going for this being more like magic grad school than how it was more magic undergrad in the novels. Judging by every other show with teenagers on television, they would've been casting 20-somethings anyways, might as well make them fit the part...

Seethis thread.

The side-tracking is pretty faithful to the book due him ending up at several years before Oswald returns to America. It's a lot of him trying to blend in while also keeping track of parts of the conspiracy. As far as Jake returning to the present:

American Gods is one of those shows that was in development hell for a while. It was in the works at HBO for about 3 years, but they werenever satisfied with the script: Thankfully, they decided to drop the rights, giving someone else a chance to work on it, rather than forcing through...

I don't think it will be unsuccessful financially. It opens on a pretty quiet weekend in July where there really isn't much competition, nor much the week before. I imagine it will open at #1, but then it has to contend with Star Trek the following weekend. At this point, however, I don't...

The problem is the more they invoke the original Ghostbusters, the more they remind people how far the "reboot" is from that. People really shouldn't have had to ask the question of whether or not this was a sequel or a reboot after watching the trailer. They try too hard to simultaneously be...

And he filled an important role due to how it allowed the others to play off of him. He was the straight-man that was able to point out all the insane shit that was going on around him. I'm guessing Leslie Jones' character is still intended to fit that role since she's the non-scientist, but...

Surprised there weren't any "girl power" moments in the trailer since, up until now, that seemed to be what they were trying to sell this movie on. That said, doesn't look half as bad as I expected, but also about half of what I'd want from a Ghostbuster movie. I'll catch it on cable or...

Did they seriously use the Wilhelm scream in this show?

That's the one worry I have with this show. It's essentially one big game of cat-and-mouse, which can only go on so long before Chuck starts to look completely incompetent at his job or Axe starts to look supernaturally untouchable. Hopefully they have some sort of end-game planned out. Didn't...

I keep wondering how this show is going to transition to Fillory. From what I recall, the books did a lot more setting up in terms of what Fillory was and the mystery behind the novels. So far, there really hasn't been a whole lot of focus on Fillory aside from a few mentions here and there...

My impression was that he was passing it off as one of the old tapes to back up the story.
