Where Are the Women? Guardians of the Galaxy
Kudos to the film for including more than one token women in its mix. Too bad the (male) CGI cyber-raccoon is more fully realized than any of them are. [This post is not behind the paywall.]

I can’t believe no one has done this already.

Just another rote space adventure. It’s not actively awful, but there isn’t a single damn thing in the least bit surprising or memorable about it.

For an excellent illustration of how The Smurfette Principle guides filmmaking, one need only look at the posters used to sell movies.

Everyone’s been talking about this. There was even a 15-second teaser to get us worked up for the main event. Which is still just an ad for a movie.

The calendar has turned, a new year is here, and it’s a good time to look ahead.
