Thank you for helping me convince my wife to see the movie.

I really wasn't trying to "call out" Daredevil. (I didn't make that clear enough but I said I like the show, etc. — what I didn't say is I really do think it's original relative to any other superhero property that's being filmed and distributed.) Basically I was alluding to the stylistic similarities, if not

Agreed. Arrow's aping of Batman is completely transparent. All I really wanted to point out is the (what I believe to be coincidental) visual/stylistic parallel between DD and Arrow, and perhaps the implication that there is a limited way to portray these "mortal," urban, non-firearm-using, vigilantes onscreen.

Given his portrayal in the comics, that's not a completely off-the-mark idea (pun truly not intended — just realized as I typed it). It's just so crazy it could work!

"You do!"
"I don't!"
"You do!"
"I don't!"
"You don't!"
"I DO!!!"

With the caveat that I enjoyed season one and am looking forward to season two, did anyone else feel that they were watching a trailer for a higher-budget, better-produced version of 'Arrow'? I'm not arguing they're ripping Arrow off (I know everything in this trailer is specific to the DD mythos). It's just that

Indiana Jones and the… What Were We Talking About Again?

The A.V. Club commentariat really needs to stop coming up with parody film ideas. At least half of what's being made this year began as a cheap, one-off joke in a comments section.

I know it's passé to complain about trailers "spoiling" movies, but I also think that it's especially true where these "red band" trailers are concerned. I felt like I had already seen all of This Is The End by the time I watched the full thing.

Wait, James Franco's gay? Is this a thing? Should I watch his roast to find out?

When the time comes he'll bring in Dave Franco and Zac Efron to drill through the bedrock to get to the delicious, gooey center.

They cut out an hour and 15 minutes. It'll be available in the super-size stoner snack box edition.

[Hands joint, cough-laughs uncontrollably. Hilarity ensues. Roll credits.]

I thought it was because the main character of the movie is a potty-mouthed sausage. I'm so naive.

Well I'll be fucked! I think he's shitting cracked it! Cock me!

iz r media lurning.

Agreed! My favorite role and performance by him!

We're not talking about a monster who came over here and destroyed an entire city!

Well she has no one to blame but herself for being a single parent. If she wanted someone to talk to, she shouldn't have eaten the father after making the baby.

Didn't these young people learn anything? You put the condom on the banana before you do the fucking and BOOM!, no baby!
