Batman isn't the only good DC character, he's just the one that's easiest to write for.

Making Ma and Pa Kent spout pseudo-objectivist nonsense about Superman using his powers is one of the most bizarre things Snyder has ever done.

If you didn't like Man of Steel or Snyder, you probably won't like this.

While detractors like to say that people only like superhero films for their childlike escapism - which is appallingly condescending and an entirely stupid thing to criticize spectacle filmmaking for - their success has been mostly in being movies that are purely watchable with characters that audiences really…

I've found that people seem to neglect to see the difference between withholding narrative payoff and leaving things open for the future when it comes to these sorts of films.

I really don't understand why people think that if Super Hero movies went away everything would be so much better.

Spidey was monthly somewhere before issue 6.

the Moby Grape debut is the best thing to come out of the San Francisco psychedelic scene and I will fist fight anyone who disagrees with my objectively correct opinion

The Monkees being trapped as dandruff in Victor Mature's hair in a commercial and Mature getting upset with The Monkees and changing channels seem to fit that central theme fairly well.

It's like if Head were on the nose and also boring.

I have to mention Micky's Shorty Blackwell, the song my parents named my cat after.

I will forever go to bat for Head as a surprisingly coherent deconstruction(?) of The Monkees' manufactured nature and the public's response to it - down to weirdly specific things, like Micky blowing up the vending machine full of "manufactured pop," The Monkees main adversary being Victor Mature/the RCA Victor…

Didn't read the article but I'd like to congratulate Judi Dench on being hired as the director of Bond 25!

Yep, and I also remember Cyclops appearing long enough to get killed off in X3.

I do remember the Quicksilver scene, and a few of the memorable action beats, but I couldn't tell you the general plot thrust of any of them beyond DOFP and First Class.

I wish I liked this show more than I do, but sometimes it always feels like the funnier sketches are too short and the less good ones go on for too long. Maybe I just want it to be a full-on sketch show. It does have one of my favorite jokes ever in it, though:

I'm an unabashed fan of most comic book movies (I'm not a crazy person who says BvS is good); I have seen every single X-Men film, and I couldn't tell you a single thing that happened in any of them.

They started designing the new suits a while ago and it looks like they never stopped.

I have to give a mention to my favorite episode of the entire show: "Spoiler Alert: Owen Gets A Perm."

IIRC, the only Sony person initially attached as a producer to the reboot was Amy Pascal, who seemed supportive of Feige's involvement in the leaked e-mails from way back when. The rest of the producers are all mainstay Marvel guys.
