Have yourself a Patrick Swayze Christmas, people.

True that. Arrow is also a prime example of 7 as well, as a good deal of its success is owed to the way the cast has successfully gelled into a compelling group. For all of the awesome things we have seen this year (GRUNDY! DEATHSTROKE! BROTHER BLOOD! THE FLASH!), none of those would be half as compelling without the…

In the Secret Warriors comics, they had a similar reveal, namely that SHIELD had become a HYDRA front company.

Personally, I group all of the DCAU as a single show that goes through various iterations. This prevents me from having to choose between B:TAS, Batman Beyond, Justice League, TAOS, or JLU.

I swear, those aren't tears in my eyes hearing Dave Niehaus exhorting grandma to get out the mustard and rye bread because it's grand salami time...nope, definitely not tears...

That works, too. No shortage of those in the Warcraft universe!

Casting Clancy Brown automatically bumps things up a notch. There's really two types of characters you get Clancy Brown for: Orc warchief (I'm thinking Doomhammer), or human badass (Danath Trollbane, maybe?). Either way, his involvement bodes well.

Having a plan is one thing. Having a good plan is something else entirely.

Harry Dresden, wizard detective. And yes, he's riding a zombie t-rex, because wouldn't you do the same if given the opportunity?

In the first few books, quite a bit, actually.

Maybe not the greatest detective that ever lived, but one of my favorites to read about, certainly!

As soon as Slade Wilson showed up midway through last season, I knew we would be getting something rad. Arrow has managed to not only live up to those expectations, but exceed them.

It's never too early to call the Mariners front office dumb, short-sighted, foolish, unaccountable, etc.

Growing up in Seattle, Edgar Martinez was, and still is, the living personification of what we wanted our professional athletes to be. He was a consummate specialist. He did one thing, and he did it with consistency and excellence. Were it not for Martinez and Griffey, baseball would have left town.

I think part of the reason that comics writers are often not hired to write the adaptation of their work is that the pacing required to make an interesting feature-length film is different from the pacing required to make an interesting comics arc. Plus, good comic writers are often times busy writing, y'know, comics.

The problem is that, no matter how much you try to make it clear that the "Kubrick faked the moon-landing" theory is completely unsupported, by making a film about it, you automatically lend credence to every nut who espouses it. Movies shape the way people view history, and if you muddy the waters by making a movie…

Shh! The reaper might hear you!

Here's the thing, though. A Sinister Six movie could be turned into a really entertaining heist movie, as those particular villains tend to have a fun interplay with one another.

While Taskmaster routinely crosses paths with Deadpool, and often teams up with him, he originally appeared as a villain in the Avengers comics.
