I thought for a femtosecond that MorrisonCon was a joke. Then I Google'd it.

Eh, I don't agree with Keith's assessment of Curt Connors. Guy's arm is missing and his research shows that it can be grown back by experimenting with lizards. That's good enough pathos for a villain origin story, and Ifans has scenes showing him being other than apathetic or outright evil with success.

It goes further than that. "Studio 60…" and "The Newsroom" aren't even different names.

I miss the Inventory videos. They were most of the time redundant, but seeing AV Club writers provide commentary along with some of the most ludicrous video clips in pop culture helped bring out the comedy (both obvious and subtle) that just watching the video alone could miss. I wish they could return.

Serious question: is this series worth watching all the way through? Sounds like it's grown well into its own beyond the "see what graphic act or sex/violence we come up with this time" air that permeated its earliest episodes. I really didn't think that possible.

Obligatory linking to recent, thorough (and funny) blow-by-blow dissections of the Burton-Schumacher Batman era. Starting with the first one.

I had a similar experience learning that most movies have been filmed in their entirety for one year or longer before release. It made me feel super-duped at the time and less duped as time goes on, but the feeling never goes away.

I haven't seem much Miyazaki, but I hear Howl's Moving Castle was enough for some longtime fans to give up on him completely.

This might be the equivalent of poking a sacred cow, but I did not (nor do I still) like Superman II - to the point that it almost drags the first movie into a hole with it. To my 8-year-old mind, the movie makers were complete imbeciles. Who the fuck makes a movie in which Superman loses his powers? Why are the…

Comparisons with the much less defensible Pokemon anime help carry the original series over the top, but it was never a GREAT show to begin with. And I liked Daisuke/Davis, so there's that.
