Help me out, nerds. Is Ezekiel “Zeke” Sims an evil Spider-Man? Because that’s what this looks like to my haven’t-read-a-comic-in-quite-some-time eyeballs, and I’ll be honest, that looks interesting.

I noticed they recently (?) added Dead Cells to Netflix Games, which was a nice surprise to stumble across. 

I believe the filmmaker was atop a ladder whilst the idea for the movie came to him. Heyyoooooooooo!

Channel Zero’s No End House was really good, but then Butcher’s Block was absolute balls (classic ‘characters acting to further the plot, rather than because it makes narrative sense’, although it starts strong).

I did keep wondering why Cate didn’t just wipe Andre’s mind as soon as he told her what he’d discovered.

Okay, so I watched the trailer and “Not in jeans.” got a good laugh out of me. 

Yes! That one! A deranged mutant turtle Krang meets on a toxic prison planet, because why not. The Archie comics got pretty mental, right? See: Cudley, the disembodied giant cow head!

It consistently boggles my mind just how enduring TMNT are. I still have fond memories of my friends and I trying, sincerely, to learn ninja from a ton of ninja books from the library, back in ‘89.

I lost interest in Supergirl just before it ended and dropped off The Flash when all that Black Flame stuff was happening because they both honestly started to feel boring. Which is nuts, because the majority of the Arrowverse shows were at least entertaining and a bit bananas. I will finish The Flash though, I will!

Fuuuuucccckkkkk. This is awful. He was such an underrated actor, in that I think he got taken for granted to pop up in a movie and do a good job.

The third movie should have them stealing celebrities often considered “national treasures”.

Also, this kind of thing reminds me of a debacle a few years ago in which, surprise, Jeremy Clarkson got in trouble and his defense was “it was a joke.”

When it’s an older gentleman in this kind of situation I always imagine it’s some bawdy “pretends to honk boobs, makes ‘awoogah!’ noises” or a reference to “fine gams.”

Replace his character in the Marvel movies with Krang from TMNT.

...the movie’s version of Bram Stoker’s infamous vampire is neither erotic...”

I popped into my local toyshop just yesterday and they now have an entire aisle crammed with Funko stuff that was never on display before, including a bunch of stuff I never knew existed:
