Movie Notes: Fantasic Four: First Steps

I take notes when I watch movies and after the movies, I post those notes on the internet. These are my notes for Fantastic Four: First Steps. Notes made after the movie are made in <<>>'s. 

Waaay more crowded than Superman.

Missed a preview with LCDR Pelia.<<Caught Stealing, maybe?>>

Running Man - Why give the water gun part away in the trailer?

Operation Hail Mary - This trailer gets less tolerable with each rewatch. Doctorate in Molecular Biology…not many cells in a sun. You can't deny the soundtrack though. <<YES, I KNOW THE SUN GOT SICK IN THE MOVIE AND THERE WERE OTHER REASONS! I JUST DON'T LIKE THE TRAILER!>>

Wicked Ever After - I did this one already.

The Roses - Okay.

Predator Badlands - "First hunt." I don't get this. I get that it has tons of cliches and you can't hate a Predator movie for that. Whatever.

Avatar 3 - So, it's an Avatar movie.

Star Trek Blog, Supplemental: Actually, It's Gonna Bug Me if I Don't

Picking up from last week's post:

So the pithy thought is, "Why can't we cure the Vidiians with the transporters," and it only takes me about a minute to put more thought into this than the original poster.

In Star Trek, the transporter is not a replicator. I know there's an entire farm of people braying, "suicide machine," about the transporter when it demonstrably isn't. It converts the patterns of humans into energy and beams that energy somewhere else in such a way that it reintegrates as matter.

Consciousness is even maintained (TNG: "Realm of Fear"). More tellingly, none of the people using it, who know how it works, gives one jot about using it. Except Leonard McCoy, who gets the heebie jeebies from it. He's the guy in Star Trek who declares things dead and he never identifies it as a "suicide machine."

I don't recall this ever happening.

Canons Reloaded

"I heard a rapper once say there's a message in everything."
-Piebald, "Sex Sells and (Unfortunately) I'm Buying"

So canon isn't just the technical body of work creators reference when making new work. It's also the blobby circle of that work which the public draws from when referencing it.

 

Behold. A canon.

What these things mean–Star Trek, Christianity, The Boys–is determined by how it's discussed and treated by us. And also a few hundred thousand bots run by marketing companies and hate campaigns.

But let's pretend we're engaging in an internet that's only terminal and not dead yet. An internet where people read things that other people want to read (I've got personal stock in that premise).
