Take a wild stab at how many Reys are available in this aisle, or how many women altogether. I hate to break it to you, but Rey is not a role model for little girls. The Force Awakens has been out all of a few days now, and already I’m over hearing this. “Oh, she’s…
This was shown in Morning Spoilers earlier today, but I think the fact that the Supergirl TV series has made a supercut of all the people Kara has saved over the course of the show’s eight episodes, because I don’t know what purpose it serves ther than as a reminder of all the people her…
Earlier this week, Rich Juzwiak published a deeply-researched history of director Quentin Tarantino’s love affair with the word “nigger,” a word he has always used liberally in his screenplays. Juzwiak unearthed and examined twenty years worth of Tarantino’s varied and contradictory defenses of his use of the word. He also produced this video, a supercut…
Courtesy of Disney/Lucasfilm Start Article Post Content ROME – Amid a chorus of overwhelmingly stellar reviews around the planet for “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” Vatican daily L’Osservatore Romano begs to differ, calling the film “confused and hazy” and, even worse, opining that it “fails most spectacularly” in its representation of evil.

In truth, QT has the visual dexterity to create some of the most memorable film images of the past 25 years. Each of his films contains brilliant camerawork, from…
by Jamal Igle Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a juggernaut. Critically acclaimed and the current holder of the title of “biggest film opening of all time.” It’s an engaging film that engrosses the viewer and harkens back to the early days of franchise. As it is with all things pop culture, particularly in the…
Let me clarify: I don’t actually hate Star Wars: The Force Awakens. I watched the movie three times in four days, and will surely see at least twice more before it leaves theaters. But even though I love the movie, there is one major aspect of it that distresses me immensely. Major spoilers ahead… Because…
