I like it better that he's just frustrated about not being able to loosen the lug nuts. "I … can't … get … these … loose … RARRRARRRRHHHH!"

Ah: somehow I missed your comment. Isn't that weird? Of all the things to make him Hulk out … God, I loved that show.

It occurs to me only now - though I watched the Hulk obsessively as a boy - that in the opening credits, angry Hulk in rain results from Banner not being able to change a tire. Is that right? He tries to change a tire in the rain and gets so pissed (perhaps he hurts himself with the tire iron?) that he Hulks up and

I did enjoy that his death resonated with his first death: only half his body crumbled to ash, leaving the other half intact, suggesting his lateral bifurcation via dimensional door. A much more dramatic death, but one that worked, in that this death resulted from his being used, unknowingly, by Bell. I kinda liked

@avclub-00b5f80238003a864880fe7d05293d64:disqus : I'm in Hillcrest. Keep up the good work, brother.

@avclub-00b5f80238003a864880fe7d05293d64:disqus : are you a San Diegian or just a SoCaler? I was recently bummed that the M Ward show at Belly Up sold out so quickly - too quickly for me to get tickets. 

My favorite line, "now im just waiting for something to happen and i have no idea what it will be. " Because I just hate when a story builds up suspense and I don't know what's next. Nothing's worse, eh?

@avclub-fbca7c48c185890bd31f538b91ba5fbb:disqus : I think that game actually involves stealing bread from the mouth of decadence. Or was it Dead can Dance? Oh shit. I remember a friend who actually considered DcD his favorite band. Chicks loved him.

If you're curious about Kirby as a creator - and a scholarly treatment of his process and contribution to Marvel, this new book, my by pal Charles Hatfield, Kirby scholar extraordinaire, is definitely (and defiantly!) worth checking out:

@OhthePossibilities:disqus handled your lame comment pretty well, but I can't help but add an amen: he didn't say no one watched it, just that "every other person in the world" (hyperbole, I imagine, for people with goddamn sense) refuses to watch it NOW. Because it sucks. And because they know it sucks because

The names in the film are hilarious: Dr Cocteau, Simon Phoenix (har har: tho he's reborn in ice  not fire, get it?), Lenina Huxley, even John Spartan … the film's obviously calling attention to its cheesiness and ironic indictment of the genres to which it belongs. I've loved this movie since it first came out.

I hope they're not trying to suggest that Carol is into Daryl's abuse because she's, like, into abuse … because the look she gave him as he was laying into her really seemed to shout, "Please hit me … if you do, I'll love you forever and bear children for you to sexually abuse … please … please… make me beg!"

Funny: psychological shock doesn't cause any of the symptoms she's having, unless the poor girl is suffering a complete psychotic break:

I'm always looking for late, late night Netflix Instant series to watch: is Survivors actually kinda interesting? That is, is it watchable? Because of late I've been reduced to watching season one of 24, a low to which I once swore I'd never sink.

I think that we might be seeing a Blue/Amber collision, just as I think that Peter is mistaken about being in a different universe, that he can get "back home." I think he is home: home's just changed. The episode implied that his presence may be changing it back. (Olivia didn't seem the only one getting blue selves

I wondered if - in addition to the other allusions and references in the episode - the director was summoning Carpenter. The image of the crazy, muttering dude holding what I first thought was a head but would turned out to be a weird, bloody doll or something, reminded me a great deal of JC, but especially of Wes

The scene in which they keep driving out of town only to find themselves driving back in reminded me - both in style and content - of John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness. I kept expecting to see a weird boy/old man hybrid riding a bike with a playing card stuck in the spokes. Definitely one of the more evocative

Regarding the despecialized editions: Lucas is the worst thing to happen to the series. I humbly submit that Lucas was just plain lucky with the first one: he worked with great people, at a great time, and ended up, against all odds, making a great film (I mean, really, read those old screen plays he wrote: fucking

I think you mean, "Do not want!"
