By that metric most movies look good. Trailers are expertly crafted to sell the best parts of a movie.

Aggregate critic and audience scores can be useful, but feel too weighted towards our modern desire for quick and easy answers to questions, such as is this a good movie? As the late great Roger Ebert said, a good movie review should explain the movie in a way that the reader will know whether...

Is Disney required to offer DAS? What I'm reading elsewhere is they have to be ADA compliant but any offering like DAS is strictly optional.

How about some people understand what he meant and don't consider it a "gaffe"? A lot of people who get mad at things like this do so because they're told to by people who make a living by riling people up with the outrage of the day, usually manufactured.

So, this looks like another soft reboot where the Dinosaurs are once again relegated to an Island? Feels a lot like the first two films, dealing with dinosaurs set loose in an isolated area. It's not about locusts, so that's a plus. Feels like it will be a generically fun Jurassic movie that...

Of course they don't. It's hilarious when people think they know how much it costs to make a movie based on "feelings". Reshoots could be a relatively minor expense. Depending on their length they're part of the original budget. Special effects are a huge part of this type of movie and those...

People are free to compare the two statements and have thoughts on why they're similar, or not. The thing is, people were quick to jump on Mackie's comments and criticize them. People are pointing out in response to that criticism, the history of the character and other comments made in the...

Mackie is getting a disproportionate amount of criticism than Evans.

Facebook was great in its prime. Everyone I knew was on there and most posted regularly, so it really was a great way to keep up with people. Unfortunately, I think the damage is done. That link you shared seems to work, but most people have left.

Here's a summary of how the character has held onto the same ideals while standing up to those who falter from them. https://origins.osu.edu/milestones/captain-america-changing-conscience-nation From his origins in World War II, Captain America waded into national debates with sometimes blunt...

Taking the actor out of it, a black man taking on the mantle of Captain America would absolutely have some feelings about it. They already addressed this in the Falcon TV series, so it's not a new concept. He's supposed to represent the American ideal, but there are plenty of examples of...

Does anyone remember the time Superman renounced his American citizenship and some people were outraged about that as well? Despite the fact that Superman was born on a completely different planet? Captain America is obviously American but people do get overly worked up over comic book...

Release the pre recut cut?

There's a lot of comments on how much reshoots cost, which I assume are pure speculation? I certainly don't have any inside knowledge so I wonder what the reality is. I will say that major expenses on a Marvel movie are going to be visual effects and cast salary. The cast will be contracted for...

If they were to remove HOP or change the focus from the current POTUS the simple solution is to announce it now. In which case they wouldn't be intentionally shutting out the current POTUS and they don't know who the next will be so there wouldn't be any bias at play.

It's recommended, not mandatory. Honestly though, if one tipped a typical 15-20% on meal value like the real world, in addition to the other tips, $16 is well below what those "real world" costs of tipping would be. Tips are a standard cruise expense, and unless the service is egregiously bad...

Which I agree with. In this case I just feel like they may have gone past homage to direct adaptation. The original Death Star battle was lifted straight from warplane footage. However, they didn't make the X-Wings look exactly like modern airplanes. I don't watch that and immediately think...

It's a culmination of a lot of things actually. Piracy itself is a general enough concept that it will be used in many different genres. The difference, again, is that a character lifted directly from pirate pop culture in our world sticks out. Science Fiction works best if it's their own...

Sure. It's subjective. It's not a huge deal to me either, but it was enough that people noticed it and it's a point of discussion.

Any time you add pop cultural references or homages into a sci-fi or other type of show, it can go so far as to take you out of it. Naming the droid a variation of Smee is fine because it's subtle and you might not even notice it unless pointed out. For me, a peg legged pirate droid is blatant...
