Liked for the sheer ferocity of this post. Most opinions I see re Sucker Punch are indifferent, but you remind of a young me re 300. Rock on!

@avclub-0b1a0c03bef95f346791038e145e252a:disqus Oh I was salivating for the X-Men NES release, and when it got delayed I got my my mom to buy the Tengen Shinobi release instead. And the fact that was the better choice is all that needs to be said about the subject (other than that the LJN programmers can rot in hell).
Oh yes, while I like some of 90's X-Men just out of nostalgia while dissing it in general, AoA holds up as one of the all-time greats. My best friend (who only liked the cartoon and trading cards) was deeply sorry when after she lent my collection to her boss and she had to tell me he lost the two book-ends, that's…
@Qbert Colon You win.Not even being sarcastic, this is the one time I'll admit to watching MSNBC that night.
@avclub-d6a67a3808af66a2c60a8d8cb41468db:disqus Belated response -
I tried to think of a Modern Doctor Who story, but the British audience is so jaded/progressive and the American audience so behind all I can think of is that some Americans thought the Eccelston Doctor referring to Rose and Mickey's drama as "keep the domestics outside the TARDIS" as racist, when it was a…
I'm certain there was a general "TEH SPNGBOB IS MAKIN UR KIDS GAYZ!!!" controversy, but I can't remember any specific episode it was attached to. Though I wouldn't be shocked if it included the one where Squidward teaches him to make sculptures and Spongebob does a flipbook about how them playing leapfrog with…
Yeah, I never cared Dice (give me Kinison in spite of his many problems any day), but the controversy was everywhere. It even worked it's way into the only episode of Night Court I disliked, because I was like "Yeah, Dice sucks, but this is just too preachy and oh how funny, the stand-in thinks Dan is gay because even…
The Tiny Toons episode was One Beer, and it's clear the writers were revolting (see Dini & Timm hanging Buster & Babs in effigy in the Mad Love comic - the BTS stories about the show were the first hint to me that Spielberg was kind of stuck in the past). Buster offers Plucky and Hamton the titular beer, they note…
Wow, I watched that with my dad. According to Wiki it was that and low ratings.
There's also the controversy over Derpy's original voice and depiction.
A better Who pick would be Deadly Assassin, due to the violence in the third part and the cliffhanger being having the villain trying to drown the Doctor. The BBC removed producer Phillip Hinchcliffe after that season and the offending scene was cut out for years (I think it was even cut from the VHS). In the…
I was the only one in class who liked Of Mice & Men, but I stand by my rant to the teachers that Red Badge of Courage is boring.
@avclub-84ca205fe6bc691c41c3bfe5a2820a15:disqus It won't happen for a long time if ever because of rights, but a movie version of his first team-up with Captain America where they had to save kid Black Widow from a Nazi cult would be equally awesome. Just make it Widow's grandma instead.
@Rocketpilot:disqus Yeah, it pretty much seemed if you were British and male your name was at least passed around. Eccelston was on the list, and all he'd done up till then was Shallow Grave and the first series of Cracker.
Reportedly one of Moffat's first pieces of advice to Capaldi was "Don't go on Twitter"
Prophetic Alien Hillbillies is more Syfy's style, anyway.
@JMP Yeah, the only poor Q TNG episode was his second one, and that was Season 1. They even had the good sense to not force him into Season 5, where he was going to be that little girl's not-so-imaginary friend. And to be fair his first Voyager appearance wasn't bad, it's after that…
It's also being done on Whose Line, like the celeb guests weren't bad enough.
People used to laugh more then. There were concerts in the park…
