I can't stand Kanye either, but I won't deny he makes good songs once and a while. There are quite a few good tracks on the new album, which I only listened to begrudgingly, and was quite surprised by it.

The speedo bit was definitely lifted from Meet The Parents, a ridiculous bit considering Mordecai usually doesn't wear clothes, so why are swim trunks so important all of a sudden? Still, I thought it was a decent episode.

Thermite paint will make you a goddamn sexual tyrannosaurus

I missed the end credits: who did the voice for Frank? Sounded like Jesse Ventura or Bill Cowher, but I assume it was just a sound-alike?

I thought it was hilarious

I thought Man of Steel was pretty good, not great. Watchmen was so-so. Didn't hate either, but wasn't raving over either. Between the two, Man of Steel was better,

I bought a bootleg VHS copy from a local comic book show.

That bothers me all of the time in the comics. Heck, just recently in the Death of the Family" storyline, Alfred is missing, the Joker is on the rampage, and Batman doesn't think to call in any help from any super powered friends?

A minor quibble, but it always bugged me that they search for Robin for three weeks, and never bother to check out the ruins of the old Arkham building?

I can't wait to use that line at work next time everyone is in a panic over a deadline.

There was an issue of Superman in the late 80s, where he executed an alternate universe Zod and his two minions after they had killed everyone on that alternate Earth. That led to a storyline later where Superman exiled himself from Earth for awhile out of guilt from his actions. This story was referenced later in an…

My experience wasn't quite as bad. We drove up to Chicago to see the show, which was at the Congress Theater (calling it run-down is putting it lightly), and made the mistake of eating at some nightmare burrito place across the street beforehand. I spent the whole show holding back an exploding ass, because there was…

Seconded on Man For All Seasons, makes for a good companion piece to Man Of Steel. Also want to add the 10-issue World's Finest miniseries that came out in the late 90's. Each issue took place a year after the previous one, highlighting Superman's relationship with Batman from post-Crisis up to the continuity at the…

The one part of that story that puzzles me is the very end. When WW gives Superman a replica of Kandor to replace the real one (which had been destroyed maybe?), he moves at super-speed to go hide another bottled Kandor before she sees it. Was that supposed to be the real Kandor, or was the point that he already had a…

Byrne's Man Of Steel reboot is still the definitive Superman for me. I think the only Superman character that got bolloxed in the post-Crisis era was Brainiac, but they ended up fixing that later anyway.

Actually, doesn't the Christopher Reeve Superman kill Zod in Superman 2? He throws Zod against the wall of the fortress, who then falls into a deep trench, never to be seen from again.

Caged Wisdom: There was an article written a while back that spelled out Knowles' history of giving glowing reviews in exchange for free trips, set visits, what have you. You take that into consideration, coupled with the fact that he writes like an eight year old, there's really no reason to ever take his reviews…

Same with wearing sunglasses indoors.

Also, if it were made completely out of diamonds, wouldn't that many diamonds flooding the market all at once decrease their value as precious stones?

Yet the chocolate chip pancakes rob him of his powers
