A lot of it can be explained away by the fact that he gets his powers in the episode and thus doesn't really know how they work.  That doesn't excuse all the episode's faults, but I could see him easily not quite understanding how he makes unlimited amounts of stuff and just making himself the antidote instead. 

@avclub-5dedb42b34e50082065a783265ce28a8:disqus , Yvette already is typecast as the sassy black woman.  Haven't you seen her work on such —er… fine shows as Drake & Josh on Nickelodeon?

Hi-ooooo!  Tip your waitresses, folks.

The catch is that even if they like the movies, they may not know the books exist.  I watched Batman: TAS long before I ever picked up a Batman comic, and while I knew who Batman was (thanks to all the advertisement for Burton's Batman), I didn't really know where he came from.

Yeah, that's exactly it.  Season 1 is alright, I guess, but it is painfully slow in parts.  I think part of it is because they were trying to simultaneously write superhero stories while also giving character moments to the League members that the audience didn't know (i.e. everyone but Superman and Bats) .  Once…

I'll grant you that.  But for a totally personal anecdote, the final nail in the coffin for Jack & Jill for me was hearing my parents say that it looked terrible.  These are the same parents that are the only reason I saw Just Go With It.  My dad, who I had to talk out of renting fucking Zookeeper over Thanksgiving,…

I guess so.  "You're all horrible" probably is the best approach to take.

I guess so.  I was thinking primarily of network shows, plus I keep up with comedies more than drama so I pay more attention to their release.  In retrospect, that was probably a misinformed post!  Oh wellll…

I don't know, to me, a large portion of your list seems like cashgrabs.  Sure, somebody down the line thought it might be great (if nothing else, the screenwriters have to love it, right?) but nobody makes Battle LA or an entry into the Twilight saga expecting them to be critical darlings.  They (with the exception of…

Yeah, but compare how many comedies get shoved out on TV (good or not) as opposed to dramas.  Specifically, how many come out per year (I call this the "Mad Men is ineligible for this argument" rule).

I'd say almost all those movies are better if only because they're bad, but they're exactly what they advertised themselves to be.  Battle LA was always going to be a stupid action movie, Sucker Punch was everything "awesome" on the internet distilled into a terrible movie, Change-Up was a body-switch movie, and…

A while ago, I would have argued for Nic Cage, but yeah, Sandler's probably taken the cake ever since he's decided to stop just acting in shit movies, but thanks to Happy Madison, he can bankroll all the terrible ideas he has!

Hangover 2 was a lazy, disappointing cashgrab, but it definitely wasn't terrible enough to be on a "worst of 2011" list.

Cage does two things: mediocre and bad.  He just didn't make enough bad ones this year.  Maybe if it were the top 50.  Don't worry though, Ghost Rider 2 is coming out soon, so he'll be right up at the top next year.

I'd argue the opposite, because while Pacino may have been over the top (haven't seen it), those little kids in Go With It were kind of funny, and I got to watch Brooklyn Decker run in slow motion.  So that pushes it over J&J in my book.

You know, I liked Captain America, so obviously, my views are different, but I can see where people wouldn't.  One of my friends laughed outright at some action parts for being a little too over-the-top, and I'm okay with that.

"David Cross complains about entertainment industry" — Film at 11

Apparently, the film was supposed to be more about Noonan and the other caddies, but when Chase/Dangerfield/Murray got involved, they ended up taking over so much of the movie that the original main characters got pushed into a sub plot.

"You know there's a point of diminishing returns on sexy, right?"

Yeah, there's an episode where he goes and hangs out with a couple of other GLs (including his dead comic-book wife, Katma Tui) and she scolds him for being so uncreative.
