Discovery is not a bad show; but it is not Star Trek. Do you wanna know how I know? I just realized we are in the third season and I still dont know almost any of the bridge crews names. Any character other than Michael, Saru, Tilly and Stamets might as well be extras; they are a little more than window dressing. A ST show lives and dies by the uality of its crew. Viewers fall in love with the vastly different and well written characters, their overall dynamic, little moments between them, and the feeling of family. Just think of TNG, DS9, or even ST:Enterprise… Such a great difference from Discovery. Discovery on the other hand is the story of Michael Burnham, anyone else is just supporting characters that are as important to the story as their relative distance to Michael. Her universe hopping pseudo-mom, her foster brother, her Vulcan dad, her Klingon boyfriend, her funny roommate etc… They are not characters on themselves, they are just story elements to support Michaels journey. And that is why Discovery is not a Star Trek show.

I was crazy for these Fantoma movies when I was in elementery school. Our one and only state-run tv channel used to show these over and over again every Sunday morning.
If Sacha Baron Cohen has a hatred of Russian people and want to ridicule them by using Russian stereotypes, he should at least have enough balls to actually make the movie about Russian people. He should not use the country of Kazakhstan, which is not Slavic but Asian Turkic people, as a convinient proxy just because he knows Kazakhstan is a country unknown in West and he will not get backlash. This is racism; and it is disgusting.
This movie devistated me. I am a grown ass man and I could not stop crying whole day after watching this movie.
Why is the title of this movie in this weird script? It is neither the original Turkish title (Masumiyet), nor the English translation(Innocence). Why is it in a third language that has nothing to do with this movie?
After two seasons of mediocre writing and terrible characters and overexcessive use of lens flares, I am really conflicted if I should give this series a one last chance or not.
Believe it or not, this 1996 movie is the first time Othello was ever played by a black actor in a movie, instead of a white actor with blackface.
Possibly one of the best pirate movies ever made. Walter Matthau as one of the greatest pirate captain performances in Hollywood. Real full sized galleons and brigs on open sea (not water tanks). The pacing, the thrills, the humour it is all top notch. I wish Polanski had made a Treasure İsland movie with the same cast and crew.
Possibly one of the best historical dramas ever filmed. An absolute classic.
I know it is a modern classic of the New Wave; and I appreciate it objectively. But I really can not bring myself to like this movie.
This movie devistated me when I first watched it. Such a tragic life. A powerhouse performance by Isabelle Adjani. Must watch.
Racist Chinese propoganda in expense of Turkic peoples of Central Asia. And not even a good movie.
This movie is a masterpiece. I dont know why it is not mentioned as one of the greatest historical movies. It has this sense of brutal honesty and realism, you usually dont see in historic fiction genre.
I love Chow Yun-Fat and it is nice to see him in a dramatic role, but still, this movie is a piece of orientalist garbage. The whole story it is based on is pure b.s.
Possibly the best Lovecraftian movie ever made, though it is not based on any particular work of Lovecraft.
I first watched it as a kid and fell in love. I believe I was 10. Since then every time I watched this movie I am mesmerised.
This show was ahead of its time. It was like Seinfeld with superheroes. It had a lot potential, and very smart writing. It could have been a big hit if it was just aired 10-15 years later.
Ask yourself: do you wanna watch Marlon Brando sing and dance? You know you do. ;)
An underappreciated classic. Possibly one of the first and best political action thrillers ever.
It is a really good solid detective movie. Sinatra suprised me with his acting chops. He kinda plays against type in this movie; instead of the hardboiled wiseguy detective trope he is known for, he plays a smart, calm, charming older gentleman detective with real emotions and inner struggle which reminded me of Morgan Freeman in Seven.
Not every superhero movie has to be a ground shaking, record breaking masterpiece. It was a good solid movie with great acting.
A milestone in the new media history. The original webseries that made online media mainstream. A labour of love by the genious Felicia Day and a really talented cast. This is literal tv history. Costumes and props used in this show are in The Smithsonian Museum right now.
First few episodes were too teenage drama for me, but this show is starting to get real good.
A masterpiece of black comedy. Proof that real life is always much more absurd than fiction ever dares to be.
It was a great show about an art form we rarely see in the mainstream and the creative process. I wish it was still on.
This movie is the main reason why Capoeira became a relatively widely practised martial art in my country.
Such a stupid cheesy B movie, but I used to love it as a kid. Still fun though…
Seems like a very original and interesting dark comedy. Some links would be nice :/
I was a big fan of the original show as a kid in the 80s and I loved every second of this. Just like Teen Titans Go did not ruin Teen Titans, this does not ruin the original Thundercats series.
Funny yet easily forgettable. Charlize Theron should do more comedy, she really has talent for it.

People who are familiar with Jim Jarmuschs style will enjoy this movie. People who have no idea will find it very confusing. One thing to remember is, despite the marketing, THIS IS NOT A ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE ACTION FLICK.
It is a mixed bag, but worthy a watch even just to see the powerhouse performance of Elizabeth Moss
What a movie! I almost got a heart attack watching it. Instant classic.
Why the hell everything has to be about Burnham and her emotional journey? Why does every episode have to be a prolonged therapy session for Burnham, even a sensitive diplomatic mission must turn into one? I cant take it anymore. I am a completionist by nature but I am really struggling to finish this season.
