How can anyone who ever read even a few Batman comics not be immensely annoyed and frustrated to the point of wanting to throw things at the TV? Screwing with comic continuity is pretty much what comic books do, I understand that - but when all of that can be so easily fixed simply by removing Bruce Wayne from the…

Then who the fuck did Ichabod behead in the pilot? Was that just a flat mislead?

Perhaps someone can explain this to me, because for some reason I have no recollection of how or why this is the case: How is the headless horseman Abraham? Wasn't, in the pilot, the horseman just this Hessian who died in battle next to Ichabod? When the hell did it suddenly become his old, whiny friend?

So I guess at this point it isn't worth mentioning how during the course of episodes they continue to fuck up timelines and basic canons of various soon-to-be-members of the rogue's gallery so bad it makes any comic fan's head explode? Roman (Not RICHARD, thank you) Sionis would, at best be in his early 20s. Another…

When this started, I knew it would stray from the book, but got my hopes up a little when I heard the first season was short. It could have easily just been like those mediocre-awful King mini-series from '90s. But it won't stop! And it just deviates in worse and worse ways.

That kind of manic energy just can't be contained in one person forever. So sad.

The end of the final episode totally pissed me off. It, stolen or not, was stunning. Then they had Cohle implicitly turn to God which was horseshit.

Towne's other Chinatown script did see the light of day, in a way. It's called Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

"I just remembered I got a date two barstools down."
"You mean that little redhead?"
"Mmmhmm."

I grew up in Tucson, Arizona, so there's always Get Back! which feels appropriate in the wrong way.  I'd have to say Ray Charles and Clint Eastwood's duet from Any Which Way You Can, "Beers To You" for fresh, old time country Americana.

I caught this at Fantasia earlier this month and couldn't have been more satisfied.  Swanberg was there to talk about it (friendly fellow).  I like to look at it as a grisly, realistic version of Home Alone that quells playground debate about the physics of the traps set  with an axe to the face.

Don't you mean Kuffs' Leon Rippy?  The hitman with the shirt with his picture on it?  Because that's clearly his most memorable turn.

I don't know…
the reference to the end of the Simpsons, but I found it to be uncharacteristically sweet of the show…something that hasn't been seen in so long. It harkened back to the end of Lisa's Substitute (and other episodes that damn near had me in tears) only not remotely as good. Still, it felt nice to know…
