I remember I was so bored during Shoot ‘Em Up that I whispered to my friend, “This better get stupid real fast.” That was right before the sex scene, so I got that wish at least. Still didn’t redeem it. The only thing I remember fondly is Owen’s rant about people not using their turn signals.

“I know words” really should have been, “I write books.” I know Mick deliberately hides his light under a bushel, but how can they all forgot how much he can do?

For me Black Lightning would have remained excellent if they could have kept Jill Scott for more episodes. Her villain turn was the highlight of the first season and I was so happy to have her back last year that I forgave that season quite a bit of nonsense.

In my dreams, there’s a Mary, Jen, Thea show, maybe Alex could guest, but Sarah Lance is too good for them. Berlanti et. al. can’t write love interests for love nor money, but their sisters are consistently awesome.

They actually started selling me on Painkiller last week. But that’s because I have spent the last six months or so realizing and codifying what I like best in drama, and it’s being able to root for a villain without worrying some annoying goody-two-shoes hero will take them out. Once it hit me that Painkiller was

Never heard of this before, and now I need to see this. I never imagined there would be a more kick-ass librarian than Jet Li in Black Mask but they’ve managed it. Leave it to Michelle Yeoh to beat him.

Emphatically seconded! I’ve been hoping making Lee the star was the direction they would go.

True, I was just counting on stage. There is clearly a history of slaughter.
But as an avowed fan of the Henry VI plays, my first reaction is that R & J doesn’t touch them for cousin slaughter.

It takes place in Italy. They didn’t even get close to killing off half their cousins. They only killed off five, maybe six if I’m forgetting one, people in the whole play. That’s not a tenth of my cousins.

I lean toward letting them punch the Scientology lawyers in the balls myself.

Just about every lime candy disappeared around the same time and I have no clue why. My sister loves lime, and still wishes she could find lime pixie sticks or sour balls. I sent her this article, even though she’s never been into skittles. It’s better than nothing.

My nephew calls porcini risotto Stinky Mushroom Risotto. My poor brother loves mushrooms as much as I do and is stuck with a wife and child who just aren’t having it.

He got Michigan right by going with cherries. We have other great produce, but I don’t really care. Cherries will always be #1.

That’s consistent for DC, though. Back in the Eighties there was one editor who owned Constantine and you couldn’t put him in your book without her say-so. Can’t recall her name and can’t be arsed to look it up. She turned down Morrison so he created Willoughby Chase to be as close as possible. Then some others did

Well, the Tom Baker episode Seeds of Doom (one of my personal favorites) spent about half it’s run-time ripping off  The Thing. But I’m pretty sure that was based on the Fifties version, not the John Carpenter one. Still, similar DNA.

Don’t give Lucas any ideas!

I saw the first one before I read them, so only fantasy cast roles that didn’t appear in the first film.

Michigan has none. There would probably be a fight over whether to go with Detroit style pizzas or pasties for the U.P. I would hope our state dessert would be Bumpy Cake, but cherry pie is also a strong contender.

Bit embarrassed to admit I would watch a cheerleading heist movie in a second.

I really need to get around to it. My sister raved about it decades ago and I’ve just kept putting it off.
