I swear to god that movie has been scrubbed from the face of the Earth. I was one of…what, three people who saw that in theatres as a kid (It had Captain Picard, man! He'd never let me down, right?) and since then I've never heard anyone mention it, ever. They never show it on cable. I had to poke around online a few…

I love that comic collecting is a beer money based economy. More things should be

Hey, thanks, @coatituesday:disqus. I really appreciate that. And I totally agree about Reservoir Dogs taking the idea about the separate robbers; though, as you said, it probably went Thomas Crown Affair —> City on Fire —> Reservoir Dogs

Ohhhh yes. Run don't walk. You could even give Ashes To Ashes a spin, if you're feeling froggy (and into slightly diminishing returns)

Awww… I was fine with Jason O'Mara until you said this, and it got me thinking: Infinity Serum-enhanced Dum-Dum Duggan as the Director would have been brilliant. Plus, he would have been someone Coulson would have worshipped as a kid…which could create some excellent tension when he's revealed to be a little…

That's true…I think it's the accent that's holding him back. It flattens his ability to emote

…Now you're not even playing fair.

Oh, Captain Positive, you lovable pollyanna

And Sting covering "Windmills of Your Mind!"

Exactly. And everything — from his clothes to his walk to his actions — betray the idea that he's uncomfortable with where he is, and uses his heists as an outlet for his ruthless intelligence. He falls for Dunaway for exactly this reason: she's just as clever as he is — and she's also kind of a sociopath. He is cool…
