Okay... I may be in a very tiny minority, but.. “Dial H for Hero” has been my personal Grail series and concept since I was a kid. I even remember drawing and sending in my own hero ideas, namely “Molecule Mole” and “Tornado Tommy,” back when the eighties series was up and running and soliciting readers to send in…

No one is addressing that, and that was my first question, too. I thought Marvel had the TV rights to Spider-Man projects, but maybe they only have the rights to Peter Parker proper?  Like, did anyone bother to nail down Spider-Ham rights ten years ago, or new characters like Mikes and Gwen?  Miles is a secondary…

As the kids say: Nah, fam.

I hate Eddie Redmayne. I love Eddie Redmayne’s performance in Jupiter Ass-Ending.

I disagree heartily. I thought Redmayne was delightful in the nonsensical bombast of Jupiter Ascending and utterly unbearable in everything else I’ve seen him in. Especially Fantastic Beasts, ugh.

It’s like the Wachowskis set out to make something like Lynch’s Dune, and by that I mean a mess of a movie that was a beautiful mess. 

As I’m one of five people in the entire world who loved that movie, I thought his performance suited the character. 

They had no choice, in his British accent he kept calling everyone “Whoms.”

I like this idea. It also sets up a nice conflict where Carol eventually learns her mentor is a Kree zealot. Like you said, Starforce are mostly considered villains, and we know how Ronin and Korath end up being in the MCU.

There’s also levels and nuance to the amount of fear.

“It never hits the anti-humor heights of the TV show, which had one episode that was entirely dedicated to learning about how renting property works”

Yeah, to me the best ones just have fun with it, tell you some good fun stories, and have fun with the whole deal. I caught my brother watching the ones for Star Wars at points, and it was just too technical. I listened to the one for The Matrix, and way too technical. (Also, despite having Carrie Anne Moss(?…

However, collaboration is not inherently (or even ideally) corporate, and romanticizing the lone artist/writer should not be at the expense of the many non-corporate collaborators and their personal works.

Rat Race had one of my favorite DVD extras. Instead of commentary track, apparently they couldn’t think of anything interesting or funny to say, so instead they spent time phoning up the cast out of the blue to talk about the movie. Especially when they catch Jon Lovitz driving home, and he’s trying to get off the…

“Wait — you have a Herkimer battle jitney? That’s the finest non-lethal military vehicle ever made!”

Mystery Men remains my favorite super hero movie, even after all these years. Maybe it’s just nostalgia, but there are certain lines and scenes in it that I absolutely adore.

“Lorraine, god gave me a gift... I shovel well, I shovel very well.”

“Honey, you shovel better than any man I’ve ever known. You’re a good…

I’m not a boomer, but I really dislike any generation painting any other generation with one, broad, brushstroke. Millennials aren’t horrible, lazy people. Boomers are not old, misguided, Fox news robots. There are horrible and great people in every generation. Example: boomers fought for the end of segregation. The…

The Strauss Howe theory breaks the generations down in an interesting manner, their theory is that whatever name you give them, it’s just the same 4 archetypes repeating in order. I wouldn’t worry about all the bullshit about lazy and entitled, boomers don’t complain about that because you’re specifically a…

The idea of a generation is inherently false. It’s only used to duscuss living generations so we can assess their worth. (And often to criticize them.) It’s completely abandoned once generations age out and we start discussing them in even more generic terms like era, age, or empire defined.

Well, sure. I guess I’m just nitpicking, really.
