I'm late to this, but would like to chime in here.  I've never met Amy Poehler, probably never will, but two friends of mine have met and worked with her, and…. sorry, clevermembername, apparently she really IS nice, and fun to be with.

If Kirby had only done Captain America and the FF, I would love him — as this article beautifully makes clear, he did a ton more.

Jeez.  Not sure what that picture would have done to me if I was a parent with a son overseas during WW2.  Or any time.

Yes, but my objection is (and I suppose it's a little bit fanboy) they could have easily (and most probably did) write a scene wherein Kirby is introduced and talks about the project.  Two things this would do:  give Kirby a little credit, and give Michael Parks something to do.  (Tarantino, in one of his many…

Um.  I'm pretty sure that George Lucas didn't know the word "archetype" until some over-zealous critics began referencing Joseph Campbell.  Who I'm pretty sure George Lucas never read.

For serious injury, try to do a Liefield pose.  Bring your own 90 pound ray gun.

If the dog doesn't have to talk he can be the one from the Thin Man movies, freeing up crossword puzzle editors to confuse us:  you'll THINK "small clue-sniffer" is Asta, but it's Arya.

Okay, but here's the deal we'll strike up.  I don't have cable, so until netflix streams the last episodes, you can ONLY write about up to Gliding Over All, nothing past that.  Thanks.

He'd spank her right in half. Ulron's kinda strong.

Nah, it'll happen more inadvertantly.  Jarvis and Ultron will be emailing, like robot intelligences do, and Jarvis will let slip that it felt pretty cool to be controlling a bunch of machinery….

Ultron is the only being I could accept getting turned on by car crashes, actually.  Metal on metal.

God, Hallett makes me so sad.  I was a latecomer to Angel (in fact only watched the show recently on netflix) and stumbled on the years-old news of his death while checking out what the actors on the show had been up to.  I wanted so much to find out that he'd gone on to other shows I could check out…
Jeez.  Everyone…

Thanks for mentioning the Kirby/Argo connection.  Michael Parks is in the movie, for a blink, credited as Jack Kirby.  Makes me wonder if there's a scene or two on the cutting room floor.

Double takes (especially with that head-rolling action) always remind me of Spanky McFarland, from Our Gang.  He could do those when he was three.

So wait, "dumb as a bag of power drills" would still be smarter than a sack of hammers, wouldn't it?

Jesus, Manipulator.  That was funny, and great.

Well, at least it's not a re-remake of the Jim Thompson novel, which for some reason has never been done right (how the fuck hard could it be?).  I wouldn't be seeing it in any case, but this really seems.. I don't know, stupid. 
Could it have been improved if the passenger was Julie Delpy, and they just drove around…

"not like if he had to go put on a king hat and start shouting about rain."

I read the headline and there I was thinking "how the holy fuck can Steve Earle fit in with Game of Thrones?  I mean.. there's some iffy accents on that show, but his would be the only Tennessee/Texas one on there.
So whew.

This was really good, Scott Kaufman!  I like this kind of stuff - it helps me realize (belatedly, in the case of Godfather II) why particular scenes so compelling.
