Saul's kinda biblical….As is Jesse. Not Walter though, so whew!

It's the spacing and lack of punctuation, ruthperez325, that makes this truly Found Poetry.
I like the font too. B+.

I'm not the one who came up with the idea of Michael Jai White as Luke Cage (someone on AVC mentioned it months back) but I can't get it out of my mind.
But… I want a Cage that starts in the 70s and I want a funk soundtrack and I want him to wear that damn yellow silk shirt. I want the ghetto-themed bad guys from the

I like that Spielberg pushed on through — in Easy Riders, Raging Bulls, Peter Biskind's really good book, Spielberg talks about the set of his first big tv job, a Night Gallery episode (one of the stories that made up the pilot, in case you're wondering). He says that not only was the average age of the crew around

mbs - Iiked The Terminal too. A lot. It was the first time I realized (belatedly— I'd already seen him in a LOT of things) what a good actor Tom Hanks could be.

I mentioned the swinging monkeys above — my GOD that was stupid. I mean, even zoologically stupid — if you're in a tree for some reason with monkeys, and there's gunfire or explosions in the distance, which fucking direction will the monkeys go? Nope, apparently they and you can go swinging blithely TOWARD the

I don't hate Spielberg. I hate many of his movies that I'm apparently supposed to love, or like. Saving Private Ryan for instance. Schindler's List — hated the final train station scene so much that it colored my opinion of the rest of it. Lincoln bored me (despite very good acting for the most part) as did Tintin.

I heard Michael Crichton interviewed, right after the book had been optioned by Spielberg. I'd read the book (and it's good, by the way) and was interested in what kind of movie it could make. Crichton answered this by telling the interviewer: "I asked Steven how he was going to do the dinosaurs, and he said 'it's

I approve of the Thor/Loki teamup, which happened frequently in the comic - Loki always had unlterior motives, but Thor was always: "well, we're brothers, I'll trust you this one time…"

I didn't know Gaiman's family had anything to do with Scientology…! I hope he's not involved too, because … yuck. I would have to start searching Sandman for Xenu references.

Hopefully not Smoke and Mirrors, which includes Shoggoth's Old Peculiar - one of my favorite stories by anyone.

I stopped watching Arrow after about 5 episodes (didn't hate it, liked it pretty much, but just sort of lost track). But.. it's streaming somewhere, I'm pretty sure, so I plan on catching up; not juist due to your recommendation, Arnie Linson (i've heard from friends that I quit the show just before it started

I like that, day to day. I like it a lot, SPOILER FOR DECADES-OLD COMICS REVELATION:
'Member when, for several issues in the Avengers, the Vision was having troubles? Notably that he wouldn't go into the water to rescue {somebody, don't remember who]? And then it was revealed gradually that his body had been the

Swear to god, if I had bumper sticker skills, I would put out a "Never Forget" one with a silhouette of a devastated New York skyline, maybe with a ruin of one of those Chitauri flying whale things on the ground, and a SHIELD logo.
Too busy? Okay, then, just the logo and the flattened New York. I could make DOZENS of

I loved that glimpse of Professor Horton's artificial man in the Captain America movie (and loved the whole damn movie, I'm a Cap fan from way back). The only tough part about these little glimpses into the larger Marvel world (in the movies and in this show) is explaining my little gasps of recognition to my wife or

I kinda expected, when Mae told him to take off his shirt, that he would be a cyborg from the neck down (not Deathlok-style, but certainly some metal and glowy things). And I'm sure I was supposed to expect that. It is a little odd that, even in a firefight, or even in hand-to-hand combat, Coulson is always in a

See, i know literally nothing about her - haven't knowingly heard her or that band she's in. I did listen to the song, and it's pretty good. Never read very much Judy Blume but I liked the little one-line distillations in the lyrics, and the emotion seems honest.
So there.

And with that phrase, Whovian, you've got me dreaming of Clark Gregg playing H.P. Lovecraft…

Well, given the Whedon-show propensity for killing off main characters, I was kinda sort almost fooled, in this episode, into thinking she would die. Which I'm pretty sure was the intent.
Hey, maybe next episode!
(I don't want her to die, I like the actress whoever she is and the character. But she IS the one to

Well. It is working with him in the lead, I think — but they'd be wise to not feature him too awful much - they've got a potentially powerful ensemble to use.
I can't help it, I like him. He's cool here, and in the Marvel movies, and he saved Sports Night.
