"Screw stories about PEOPLE, man! More violence! More action! Screw all that boring crap that makes you actually interested in the characters that might allow these shows to keep anyones attention for more than a season. That stuff's lame!!" All that "boring" stuff is the only thing that makes Walking Dead worthy of being a multiple season series as apposed to an 87 minute straight to DVD monster movie. As for the alleged fascism in Terra Nova...until they get an actually civilization up and thriving and expanding, things being run the way they are is about all that could possible keep people and the dream alive.

I see actual political speechifying in movies and tv shows all the time, it jumps right out at you. But in the case it genuinely seems the writer was desperate for something to bitch about.

I don't like the show (I did actually watch it for a while for the music) and I don't agree with a lot of the themes but you can't deny (or maybe you can if you're hateful enough) that the messages the writer alludes to... the ones about racism, sexism, bullying, etc... are good messages. Your "lockstep" comment is just troll-spew. You're a behaving the fool. And as for the anti-conservative messages (which are NOT the ones she used as examples) they have had plenty of attention from other people. This particular issue is one that is close to her...and myself and many others...so this is the one she sought to address. She has a wonderful adopted baby to raise, she doesn't have time to hang around hating EVERYTHING, that's why we have trolls like you.

The first few lines told me all I needed to know. You're not talking about MODERN adoption, you're talking about the way adoption USED to be. Hello and welcome to the present. Don't lay YOUR baggage on us. If you choose to focus on the grief, that's your pathetic choice. Don't piss on other people's happiness because you're weak.

In modern adoption it is very very very rare for birth parents to be able to take the child back after a certain period. I would say these days the only way that could likely happen is if the adoption were illegal in the first place. People have responded to the LA Times article with stories of their adopted teens worrying their birth parents could come to take them away. This show making this seem like a common possibility doesn't help anyone. Why is it "silly" (to use noncompous' term) to want to ease those fears as well as the fears of those thinking about adopting and those thinking about adoption as a future for children they can't take care of. It's not about hating Glee or wanting them to stop the story. It's simply about trying to get them to say "Hey, this is just a fictional drama, for more information on the truth about adoption in your state contact your local blah, blah, blah...."

WTH do you people want out of a movie these days? Maybe if you weren't so wrapped up in you cape of conservatism and wielding your sword of reviewer snark maybe someday you can see a movie with good solid American characters and massages and at least admit it instead of comparing it to some imaginary perfect rightwing blockbuster in your head. I went in to is expecting to be disappointed, this was the most important comic book movie to me, but was pleasantly surprised but most of the reviewers around here seem to have gone into it looking for something to gripe about and whether your vision was so filtered by that or you just couldn't bear to NOT trash it and so you just stretched minor weaknesses into huge faults to serve your purpose, you got what you wanted.

He laid it on pretty thick about how they were adding this character to give the conservative, traditional part of their audience a character to identify with. I thought, wow, maybe someone in Whoreywood is finally getting it. Nope. It's just another way to slap us in the face while smiling and telling us they love us.

Rick and his wife, his cop partner, etc. It takes place in Georgia, there will be a lotta southerners of all stripes. And it's pretty standard to create conflict in these survival stories (drives me nut too... why didn't they throw that jerk off the ship on Stargate Universe before he could kill people?!?!) by throwing together "decent folks" with wife beaters and perverts and racists... because they're a part of society and reflect the culture at large to some degree. And you can jump right in to the conflict without spending three episodes building the backstory between people... or worse spending one episode jamming it in at the cost of any kind of real storytelling. For a show that's got a "season" of only handful of episodes, this seems like a logical path to take.

If there was ever a poster child for "just not getting it" this is it. OF COURSE it was over the top! It's the frikkin' A-Team for cryin' out loud! It pushes right up to the edge of cartoonish and that's its fun... there's one spot of action that actually reminded me of something from one of the Spider-Man flicks. You've seen the trailers, right? They show them in a tank that's dropping on parachutes from an exploding cargo plane and Face pops out the top and starts firing on the drones that are attacking them! You expected maybe Platoon or something?!? The comparison to The Losers is an appropriate one because Losers essentially tried to be The A-Team and beat them to the punch. But I think you got your script flipped... Losers was kind of all over the place with some pretty generic "cool stuff" I've seen before. The characters were okay but I can't say I cared a lick what happened to any of them. The characters in A-Team were fun and likable and actually felt like a team and, while way over the top, it had "cool stuff" moments I've never seen. The small mid-day mid-week audience I saw the A-Team with had plenty of laughs and several "WHOA!" and "OH, HECK YEAH!" moments of action enjoyment. The romance wasn't intended to be a romance, it was meant to be a little romantic tension and a little bit of friction. An actual full-blown romance subplot would have felt so shoehorned in. Biel, while very nice to look at, is almost never someone I want to watch act and I thought she did quite well here. She played the strong woman without playing the "man with boobs" we too often see from strong female characters. So, I say if you want a fun summer movie with wild action and likable characters this IS one to see.

The way people drooled over it's "daring social commentary" was almost offensive.

I waited for a long time to see it because I wasn't in the mood for a horror movie or psychological thriller. That's what the title and trailers led me to believe it was. Was so glad when I finally watched it, a thousand times better than what I thought it was going to be.

I wonderful film with meaning and heart, to rare these days. As I watched I reached for a pad and pen I keep nearby and made a note to look up more of Brittany's movies and add them to my Netflix list. Her performance was so moving.

The time and manpower spent dealing with all those frivolous complaints was staggering. I believe it was for the good of the state as well as the good of her family that she chose to step down. And stepping down allowed her to to step up in an even bigger way.

Been watching another BBC show called Primeval lately and the leads have all been replaced by I think maybe 15 shows in. It's nice in a way, you can never think things will turn out for the good because the lead can't die. :D Wed, 15 Jul 2009 01:42:23 +0000 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/lscott/2009/07/14/torchwood-pro-american-tvfrom-the-bbc/#IDComment27302282 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/lscott/2009/07/14/torchwood-pro-american-tvfrom-the-bbc/#IDComment27302065 Interesting.

The letters from DOCTOR WHO being rearranged to form the word TORCHWOOD as a decoy name for schedules, equipment, tapes, etc during production of the first season of the "new" Doctor Who. Then it sounded so cool they decided to use the name within the show and then spun it off on it's own. (At least that's the story I got from some behind the scenes show somewhere.)
