I dropped out from the show after three episodes or so, way too generic despite Titus Welliver. I do remember the books as solid crime stories though, although a far cry from the masters of the genre.

As strongly as he is associated with Spider-Man and Marvel in general these days, he also has some really fun Batman stuff under his belt. Arkham Asylum: Living Hell is one of the great underrated Batmans stories.

That final, mirroring panel of the newly named Alcazaropolis is indeed dark as hell. Political satire might not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of Tintin, but when Hergé went there he really went there.

Not to mention the absolute shitfest of a power struggle that must have resulted from the emperor suddenly croaking like that. It's a pretty massive thread to leave dangling at the end of a movie, especially one where power politics played such a prominent role.

Really? I remember most of the aliens in Star Trek Beyond looking A LOT like regular people in flabby rubber masks.

2 Fast 2 Furious, complete with people giggling their asses off every time Tyrese said "Dayum!" How that series turned into blockbuster status and kinda sorta critical darling is miles beyond me.

Steve Bannon looks like a sun dried tomato.

What makes 5 so different/much better from/than the others? /Alan, who dropped out of the series after having sat through the aggressively awful 2 Fast 2 Furious in the cinema.

IMO, going through someone's browser history is only acceptable if you have fairly solid suspicions about him/her being a serial killer. Before that, you leave that shit alone.

That line reading is awesome, and a perfect thing to say when you finally get something over anyone who's been an annoyance for too long in any context. His delivery of "Bollocks" in his final scene is in the same category too.

It as, and apparently of stuff that they claim inspired them, which unfortunately includes some pretty taboo stuff for a hyper commercial white synthpop band like Public Enemy, Dylan, Sly & the Family Stone and Temptations. Still, I've heard people claim that it's actually a strong record that's better for taking…

For what it's worth, Thank You is supposed to be underrated/misunderstood, but I haven't listened to it myself.

So Lemire's run was a failure then? I don't follow the X-Men titles, but I remember thinking he was an interesting choice to handle that franchise when he got the gig a year or so ago.

It's a Marvel Studios joint and he's the villain, so probably the absolute minimum amount to make it a coherent story.

My theory is that Avi Arad saw how many action figures Venom was selling back when his company Toy Biz had ownership of Marvel in the 90's, and then swore a blood oath that he would someday make a Venom movie, even if he'd have to will it into existence by sheer force of mental fortitude, arrogance idiocy.

I'd love for him to come back in any capacity, but that whole situation is a prime example of pride and stubbornness getting in the way of a solution from which everybody would gain.

You can kind of see that the script had a more serious tone at one time in those scenes, like Travolta being HIGHLY uncomfortable at the grave of the real Archer's son.

*Spouts fake latin chants* Isn't THIS religious?

I'm slowly getting into and forming an opinion on Depeche Mode's new album Spirit. So far it's not as strong as I had hoped, although it does have a nice, cohesive flow throughout and takes on themes like devolution and determinism in the age of reactionary (and worse) forces celebrating triumph after triumph. It's…
