Aw, that makes me feel bad for Liza Minelli for some reason

You're crazy, Merchant-Ivory are like the definition of middlebrow- boring Oscarbait that hides a lack of anything to say with gloss and prestige

Doesn't hetero, for the Hulk, require only that he sleep with non-Hulks

I think that's one of the remarkable things about the DCAU, really- with very few exceptions, I think of absolutely everyone featured in it fondly, even as they went waaay out of their way to include Bat Lash or Apache Chief or whoever. It gives you the feeling of an endlessly inventive universe, with interesting…

I like to imagine she's buying Magic the Gathering cards

@avclub-146bc30c345d31f3468fec764a1970e1:disqus The living statues thing is pretty clearly not true of the DCAU Flash, given that his nightmare looked like that in the John Dee episode (and was clearly meant to be a departure from his normal way of seeing.)

"Again?" said in Rocky's voice was one of the go-to riffs on MST3k, because cult game recognizes cult game

Hunter's Moon was always my least favorite, in part because I happened upon it without knowing Hawkgirl's backstory the first time, and in part because it's pretty dumb. Chaos at the Earth's Core is fun, though- it has Gamera! For no reason!

It's bad for JLU, but less boring than some of the first season JL (the low point of the core DCAU, imo.)

They're, uh, not great characters, though. Particularly because apparently Ditko continually made it so that Dove was just whiny and ineffectual (for the whole two issues he was involved with the book) and the whole conception is kind of lazy.

He also did a brief stint as a marriage counselor in Orange County

AfterMASH was pretty different, basically a hospital based sitcom

Can he turn out to be Badger's father

That's pretty much 90% of Italian Westerns anyway

There has never been a better movie title than "Every Man for Himself, and God Against All"

He did the voice of Unicron in an attempt to get The Other Side of the Wind finished, though. Like, whatever else is true of Welles, he never stopped trying to get movies he wanted made at tremendous personal cost. I don't think that's true of Burton, and it seems injust to imply an equivalency on that front.

yeah, but it's not funny-haha

i dunno, if you cut all the movies that are racist, homophobic, sexist, or otherwise stomping on the little guy, you wind up with like… well, a bunch of really good movies, actually. but still.

nah, that was all niyazov. niyazov was a pretty ok leader for the first ten years or so of his reign- guaranteeing power and water to all of the people, keeping some of the soviet era reforms, that sort of thing- and then around 2001 went batshit crazy and started doing things like demanding that everyone sick come to…

I suspect Adams was a writer like PG Wodehouse, where a lot of what made him special came out through reworking and polish rather than original inspiration
