It's still not, really, IMO. Even the most conservative leaders of the Conservative Party we've ever had haven't been inclined to even allow in-party debate of the subject. Yes, there are Conservative MPs who'd try to re-open the issue if it were allowed (hell, I'd wager there are Liberal...

That suggests they have any regard at all for how ordinary citizens feel; which they don't. Corvus said it; they're psychopaths, pure and simple. They sleep very soundly because they're wealthy and, by the rules of the society they've helped create, untouchable.

I'm kind of shocked these giant studios don't build clauses into their contracts with celebrities signing onto huge tentpole franchises about public behavior that might reflect badly on the studio. But even if there is no such clause, WB should just pay them off and tell them to hug the hug...

What a terrible way to release the film. I'd have much preferred to buy it on 4K.

A new, highly-detailed diecast model of the original U.S.S. Enterprise is currently being crowdfunded by Prestige Select/TOMY International. At 1/350 scale, it comes in at 34 inches long and will weigh more than 20lbs. It features full electronic lights and the primary/secondary hulls can...

Don't worry. If Quebec is even a little bit like Ontario, most people won't even be aware there's an election going on until it's over. This week, Ontario had an election that featured the lowest voter turnout in history with under 44% of eligible voters bothering to show up. The result was the...

I didn't cite it as an example of that. But in the time period the majority of the episode takes place in, the world was a much less subtle place in that regard, so it doesn't come across as especially hamfisted. What it did do a much better job at than more modern Star Trek's idea of...

In that regard, unfortunately, even the later "Prime" Trek kind of falls in closer to Discovery territory. While Voyager and Enterprise both featured episodes ranging from abysmal to excellent, I can think of none even among their best that are likely be remembered as "iconic" television moments...

Can you show me where I explicitly mentioned TOS? Anyway, as Kal said, it's often just the difference between commentary and preaching. If I feel something is demanding I feel a certain way... even if it's the way I already feel... I'm going to find it inherently off-putting because of the...

Star Trek has always had politics, but the difference between the writers of various iterations is the level of subtlety with which they weave it into their stories. I haven't seen any of SNW yet, but Discovery and Picard have been about as subtle as being hit in the face with a neutron star...

I wonder if the weapons are going to combine.

With the inflation we've got going now, coupled with the pre-existing and always increasing weath gap, we've only seen the tip of the iceberg as far as surges in crime go.

Maybe Agatha just wasn't interested in the Multiverse. There are probably spells in there to do with numerous other things, and not everyone is tempted by the same things.

Because its contemporaries have done such a better job in their attitudes toward women? Religion as a whole is a crock of jive. A few of the ancient ones are at least a bit of fun, since their gods acknowledged being assholes. Of course. Because, no matter what they say in their speeches or...

Oh, they'll be able to afford the car. There's always some crook out there willing to indulge a fool in financing their car over a 96 or 108 month term. That's how so many of the people (especially younger people) you see driving around today are in Teslas, Audis, BMWs and the like. The question...

From 42:38 in RedLetterMedia's most recent Picard review, to about 46:22 about sums about Star Trek: Picard.

We all know the answer to that. Sony has absolutely no idea what they want to do with any of these characters. All they know is that they want to make money with them and create their own pocket-universe MCU, but they have no clue whatsoever how to do so.

Co-productions, yes... but creatively all three Spider-Man films were 100% Marvel and Kevin Feige. I actually really appreciate how well all three "Home" films flowed together, giving Spider-Man a unique origin tied in to Iron Man, but by the end of the trilogy, he's become the more traditional...

Although he may be from another universe/continuity, Dafoe's Green Goblin is now right up there among the best (and vying for the title of downright scariest) MCU villain. I also really appreciate how the film tweaked Electro, restoring his physical body and a degree of sanity, upon absorbing...
