I refuse to refer to black people as a whole as "African American." I realized how meaningless the term is when, more than once, and from different people, I started hearing the phrase "Egyptian American." Now the phrase just annoys me in general for a lot of reasons.

Aside from Bane being one of my favorite Batman villains (he didn't just lumber over to Batman and give him a backbreaker, he planned and strategized and calculated. He figured out who Batman really is), how is Nolan the guy who "almost" got Batman to the Oscars? A cinematography nomination for...

Looking ahead is still good, depending on how far ahead you look. An adaptation of "At the Mountains of Madness" written and directed by Guillermo Del Toro is on the way.
