Jesus Christ, could you guys stop with the puns?

Have we worried before now about the CW casting bad actors? Because that would be a lot of worrying.

And how dare they cast a sighted non-lawyer as Matt Murdock!

I was hoping someone would mention Them, which was also the first place I’d heard of Jones. He comes across as a complete tool there, but it also helped make his name, so....

No kidding. Can you imagine a world where people who actually are important, like the president, acted and thought this way?

The Sixth Sense. I was visiting a friend in Detroit opening weekend. We had to kill some time between his haircut and a social event. I said, “hey, there’s this new horror movie that’s getting some good reviews.”

Trog, a low-budget SF film from 1970 starring, incredibly, Joan Crawford. Someone took their protohuman costume home, and....

“he didn’t want them showing up in cheap B-movies for the next 20 years”

Just Kinja, as it turns out.

Counteracted its magical ability (to quote Sean Patrick Reiley) to hold twelve toolsheds worth of equipment.

The brother and sister who get their power-on by touching each other? Given nearly everything else they’ve done with their DC properties, I can’t imagine why Warner hasn’t already announced a movie for them yet.

He gets about five seconds, I assume to set up the Legion of Doom for a hypothetical sequel.

Right, but given that Marvel’s imitation Darkseid, Thanos, is due to appear this year, why not just one-up them and use Thanos right away, if they wanted to do the New Gods.

Who was it that said that people who need everyone to know what’s on their minds often have so little?

Wait, that was you?

Yes. Killmonger is a serious villain with credible motives to which many people would be sympathetic. Klaue makes for an entertaining opening act. His motives that aren’t sympathetic, but they’re very familiar.

You know, ours is a cold country.

I (see avatar) am visiting friends in Detroit this weekend (I’m from north of the border), and I was thrilled they got tickets to see Black Panther Saturday.

And, unfortunately, elevating it to public office.

I think it’s less that Wakanda isn’t real and more that Wakanda is an inspiring bit of wish fulfillment. How dare it be exactly like the underlying premise of every superhero.
