It's a shame that Nightwing doesn't get a bigger profile. I love the character, and keep hoping for better for him, but it won't happen with the New 52 standard of mediocrity.

Okay. Obviously, I missed that one completely.

A few years ago, after a record collecting friend of a friend died, I took possesion of part of a major cache of CDs, and was told that in return for helping catalog and sell them, I could keep pretty much anything I wanted. This guy had a fairly large collection of Belle and Sebastian. I was familiar with If You're…

Spider-Man's continuity is jam-packed with excreable storylines. I disliked a lot of Gerry Conway's long run, which gave us the original Clone Saga, but in the 90's, Howard Mackie and Co. doubled down and made matters even worse. All I remember was a bunch of shitty stories wrapped in prismatic, 3D- lenticular covers…

It's funny how some terrible plotlines are discarded, and willed out of existence (like the notorious semi-rape of Ms. Marvel in Avengers years ago), and how others (Hank Pym's wife-beating and general instability) never seem to go away.

I just saw the first segment of the short, but, yeah, it was attention-getting. I'd like to see if they could expand on it.

Marvel seems to want us to like Spencer, but they're not giving him the push they're giving to other new writers, like Dennis Hopeless and Cullen Bunn. They brought him on a few years ago, based on his indie titles, but his time seems to be running out there, based on the who-cares nature of the projects he's getting.

By associating the book with the current Superior Stupidity in other Spidey titles, Marvel seems to be acknowledging that the book will be a finite prospect, though.

I started watching the first one last night, but stopped to watch the season premiere of the Newsroom. Kind of like the North and South Pole of Awful.

One one hand, I feel the topic of the risk female reporters take in covering their stories has gone underexplored, even by Lara Logan herself (understandably). I wouldn't mind seeing it addressed.

I remember how the Occupy movement started, and it was far from the cliche that commenters are characterizing them as now. In the New York area, those hairy, unwashed, drum-circling kids were accompanied by workaday people, middle-aged people, nurses and cops. After the uprising against Scott Walker in Minnesota,…

But then we would've missed the point! Will newly kissing conservative ass to redeem his Taliban remarks. And Mackenzie impotently trying to get Will to do as she says. The subtlety and nuance of Aaron Sorkin!

Hell, even David Spade should be saying "Fuck no!" at this point.But I think for Rock, it's just a paid vacation to go and hang out with friends. How much effort could be involved to make this garbage?

Those kind of bodily functions might endanger the PG-13 rating. Gotta have a PG-13.

Sometimes I wonder, if would-be Rockford Files spin-off, Richie Brockleman: PI, had caught on during the 70's, would Dennis Dugan still feel the need to prostitute himself cranking out offal for Adam Sandler?

Before the OP took that turn into the Purge movie, or whatever, he had a good point. As we see more and more these days, the power structure not only doesn't give a shit about the people they represent, they don't even represent them.

All right, fanboys. Pick up your torches on the left, pitchforks on the right.

Yeah! Anger Management needs a lead-in show!

Sure, White House Down is too damn long. But it probably feels like a Pixar short compared to the Lone Ranger.

Well, let's take some things into account, just based on episode 1: First, it appears that Sonya is working a graveyard shift from the beginning, where interaction with the public wouldn't necessarily be a major issue.
