The Punisher
It's possible that the Punisher hasn't been in a good movie yet because the character actually isn't that interesting. As someone else pointed out, he's really more of a villain than a character. Divorce him from the rest of the Marvel Universe, and you've got Bernie Goetz wearing Francis' t-shirt from

Wait, wait…
Was I the only one who actually saw Daphne's crutches coming LONG before that last scene? The Brilliance that is Steve Heisler's insight into this show was caught by surprise?

The original Garfield strips
It's worth noting that including the original Garfield strips alongside the altered ones in 'Garfield Minus Garfield' wasn't the idea of the guy who started the site. Either Jim Davis or someone in a legal department forced that on Dan Walsh as part of the condition for publishing the

Peter's Powers
Sure, taking away Peter's abilities is one thing. But I'd rather see his father take away the 'growly face' he's been wearing all season, so Milo Ventimiglia has to pretend Peter has another emotion.

You do indeed know your supermarkets, my good man.

Spotted Dick availability
Actually, I don't know about the others, but I know you can find the canned spotted dick in any Kroger's with an International Foods aisle. A friend of mine got some and tried it once, and hated it.

Meh
Moore's got his moments, but the impression I've always gotten is that dealing with him comes across like that scene in Spaced where Daisy is talking to the performance artist with the vacuum cleaner, who doesn't do anything but snarl and curse and tell her he hates her and she's just loving it because she thinks

I could be wrong…
I vaguely remember hearing somewhere that the second book actually claimed that the first book was all a dream that Jessica or Roger was having, to explain why it doesn't match the movie at all.

"Two years" rule
A rule I've always heard for getting a tattoo is pick a design you like, and wait two years. If, two years later, it still sounds like a good idea, get it.

Ugh…
I went to go see this movie with my girlfriend at the time. As we were too proud to leave a movie we had already paid for early, we instead made out not for the pleasure of making out but just so we wouldn't have to focus on the piece of shit on the screen.

Shepherd Book
"Just to twist the knife a little further, Serenity killed him off with his questions further unaddressed."

Me, personally?
I'd ritually sacrifice someone if it would somehow get Frank Black into this movie. Period. End of sentence.

Rachel Weisz
I'd be more impressed with Rachel Weisz if she would ever take a role that didn't just happen to work with her accent. Even if she'd fake it badly, I at least want to know she can try.

Billy
You know who Billy reminds me of? He makes me think of a guy who just broke up with a girl and spends two hours talking to his friends about moving past her and getting on with his life… interrupting himself every five minutes to ask them if she's said anything about him, because he's so freaking terrified of

It sounds like random noise but if you reverse it it says "It's still alive."

Just for the record, I don't work for AICN. My movie tastes are pretty simple. Unlike a lot of folks, I'm able to enjoy the simple act of watching a movie more than the after-movie hobby of picking it apart and finding reasons to hate it for not meeting a mythical standard that the emo-kid contrarians at my high

I saw the midnight showing…
And I fucking loved it. I daresay it's an experience that transcends the theater and reaches out to your living room at home where you sit with your friends afterwards and try to figure out what that fucking tihng was.

I saw it…
And I'd say the B- was fair. It's a fun little adventure flick that didn't need massive explosions and gun battles for the sake of purely having them. My biggest complaint about the movie is while they maintain that Ben wants to clear his ancestor's name, they don't put a lot of effort into establishing

People like ZMF are the reason why I don't play games like Call of Duty.

Aspberger's
Y'know, I'd like to see somebody actually sit down with a bunch of supposed or self-claimed AS sufferers and see how many of them actually have the condition and how many simply have the symptoms. Because I know plenty of nerds who think they have Aspberger's because it makes them sound 'cooler' than just
