    Roseanne

    It's not even really a right-leaning show. Roseanne herself is the only vocal Trump supporter on the show, and even then it's barely mentioned and the other characters argue the opposition viewpoint when it is. It's like calling Star Wars pro-murder because Darth Vader is the most memorable...

    Roseanne

    I don't care where you land on politics, shes's a moron. I was enjoying the show. John Goodman should be allowed to roll out of a third story window and land on her face.

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    They aren't getting nearly the money they used to from me. I contributed one movie ticket to TLJ, which remains the only Star Wars movie I haven't bothered to watch multiple times. I haven't even bought the Blu Ray, and I own the fucking Phantom Menace on VHS, DVD and Blu Ray. Star Wars as I...

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    FWIW, that Canadian ET reviewer who got famous for ripping TLJ to shreds liked this. The overall sense I'm getting is that it's an above average heist movie containing Star Wars things...there's very little that's blatantly garbage, very little that's truly great. Maybe it'll be one of those...

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    You made the decision to go to a giant nerd fest years in the making on opening night. What did you expect?

    Venom (2018)

    He definitely wasn't just an evil Spiderman. He was one of the more layered villains in the comics, particularly when considering the background of Brock and the symbiote and their relationship with Parker/Spiderman. This just looks like a very vanilla take on the character.

    Venom (2018)

    I agree with this. A lot of the reason for Venom working as an interesting character ties directly into the way he initially spun off of Parker/Spiderman. Without that in the mix, I just don't see him being nearly as effective as a compelling character. Instead we have yet another lab-coated...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    That being true and this movie being bad are not mutually exclusive.

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    If this movie does indeed turn out to not be total dogshit, they need to have a creepy CGI'd young Harrison Ford show up at the end and assume this goofy testicle's identity.

    I still have that game. It came with this:

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    It's hard to get excited for a Han Solo movie when the worst thing about it looks to be Han Solo.

    Roseanne

    It's a live audience, not a track, so it's at least slightly less grating. And Roseanne was decidedly progressive in the old shows and in reality. I don't think that's changed much. You can fall almost anywhere on the political spectrum and still love/hate Trump depending on what bits of his...

    Roseanne

    While it was slightly clunky at first, I was expecting far worse. They got the past the awkwardness quickly and settled into the old show brilliantly. I'm looking forward to watching more. And John Goodman deserves heaps of praise for his performance. He's come across as knocking on death's...

    Won't You Be My Neighbor? (2018)

    I'm pretty confident that Betty Aberlin was responsible for my first pre-adolescent boner. She was a total knock-out when she was younger and managed to hang in there pretty well for a while.

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    It's not just you. Someone just took the original trailer and ran it through frame interpolation software, which always results in various levels of garbage.

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)

    I finally got around to this. I kept my expectations moderately tempered and ended up enjoying it. There were a few too many clunky one-liners, and a few too many immediate tonal shifts from SERIOUS BUSINESS to the writers realizing it'd been more than 8 seconds since something silly happened...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Wrong. This movie was bad, but at least Luke was being true to form. He was a whiney shit in the first two movies and golly-gee'd his way through a lot tough stuff with help from the Force and a dead guy. My theory is after Vader lopped off his hand, Luke bitched out and flew to his lonely...

    lol Just wait until the kid is born. What's an "opening night"?

    The Walking Dead

    Haven't watched it yet, but I'm hoping this happens. She's been hanging in there with this snoozefest, but some cracks were starting to form last season, so maybe I'll get lucky.

    Black Panther (2018)

    Two blacks on the same hockey team? I don't buy it.

    Black Panther (2018)

    Yeah, but that doesn't make the topic any less boring. And scores of God awful movies have raked in piles of money, and even more great movies have been box office bombs. Shitty sports teams almost never go all the way.

    Black Panther (2018)

    I will never understand the obsession people who work outside of the movie industry have with ticket sales. It may be one of the single most uninteresting topics on the planet relative to the amount it's discussed.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I just don't understand these people. How do they not realize that statements like that just provide nourishment to the frenzied dorks who see SJWs in their bowls of breakfast cereal each morning? Edit: Shit, I fell for the stupid clickbait title and comment by Blakkheim. I'm an idiot. His...

    Sure. Maybe I'll even do it again, in edited form this time.

    Black Panther (2018)

    It sure is heartwarming to see this being played out over the last several pages right here.

    Black Panther (2018)

    All of the nonsense swirling around this movie from all sides brings into depressing focus everything that I can't stand about modern humanity. This planet is stupid.

    Venom (2018)

    I didn't expect Venom to be shown in the first teaser, but I also didn't expect it to be completely uninteresting. That was about as generic a series of trailer shots as could be strung together.

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    That's just saying that the players that have been questionable are all in. The Eagles are still missing several key players that were hit with season-enders months ago. It's pretty remarkable that they still have a reasonable chance of winning the Superbowl.

    Misunderstood pro football player donates an Xbox to a cancer ward

    You manage an upper echelon sales force of 50 people and only make $100k? Do you sell circa 1998 Vikings memorabilia?

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I rewatched Rogue One recently and really enjoyed it. It's not without its flaws, and it's frustrating just how much better it could have been with a few relatively moderate tweaks, but as a "side" Star Wars story it's still pretty great. I definitely prefer it to 7 and 8.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Reaching into my prequel memory banks isn't easy, but doesn't Yoda smuggly call him Darth Sidious to his face before their CG battle fest? Also, Disney is a public company. If they set expectations at $10 billion in profits and deliver $9.999 billion, almighty Wall Street will still punish them.

    Yes, you're wrong. They jumped to hyperspace in between.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Oh, shut the fuck up. The score for TFA was too tame, and probably ths most low key of his Star Wars efforts, but it was by no means bad. TLJ's score was great. It may be the single best part of the film. Disconnect your nerd ragings for a few minutes and give it a fair listen. I went through...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I certainly seem to have enjoyed this more than the majority here, but in looking back it's pretty clear that repeat viewings will not do this movie any favors. I thought the direction they took Luke was mostly fine. It was one of the few subversive elements that worked well for me. Whether...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    In all seriousness, I really like Adam Driver in these. If only he could be swapped in for Anakin in the prequels I might not have to go into a meditative state before I watch the OT to ensure I don't accidentaly picture Hayden in the Vader suit.
