    It's frustrating that Manimal (and others) think we…

    I've said it before; I'll say it again: Letterman was FEARLESS.

    and wasted a good director

    That was my reaction to Mad Max: Fury Road. It was good and all, but after seeing the CONSTANT praise and references to it, it was (relatively!) underwhelming.

    I was with you until the last one. Bejar is too mercurial; Newman's output is consistent and stellar.

    The thought did occur to me, but I think they could age him up a bit with makeup. That way he could be convincing in the flashbacks and the current day.

    It has to be someone believable as a) a genius, b) a guy who could conceivably do the physical feats Ozy was capable of, and c) someone the audience would implicitly trust so that his betrayal comes as a complete shock.

    I never played 6, but I thought 5 was a lot of fun, and I thought the story was a decent way of tying together a lot of the previous dangling threads. Was it silly? Of course. Was it fun and awesome. Hell yes… you got to punch the crap out of a boulder!

    It's hard to believe now, but Homer Simpson was originally set up as the put-upon straight man dealing with his wacky family.

    Frontline started out well, but the ending is one of the most (justified) derided scenes in comics — the reporter harangues Captain America for not knowing what MySpace is.

    I always wondered why Marvel got so much crap for 'whitewashing' an extremely minor and offensive Dr. Strange character, but Nolan/DC get a pass for 'whitewashing' a prominent and well-developed Batman villain.

    No. We mustn't let symbols of American patriotism to be the exclusive domain of the right. Wear that shirt. Be proud. Although I may suggest augmenting your shirt with an accessory that make your intentions clear. A "Make Russia Great Again" hat, or some such.

    I have never seen a picture of Barron where he looks anything other than miserable.

    I was unable to get Radiohead tickets.

    Upon further reflection, I think we're both right. Famine created a diet substance which would shrink you to skin and bones no matter how much you ate.

    She's as skinny as the next person. It's just that, in civilian mode, she has her tail hidden in her pants which makes her butt look big. And that turned into some big empowering thing somehow, because apparently *faking* a big butt is just like *having* a big butt.

    The idea of Famine was really clever as well — he became the CEO of a food company whose products were so empty of worth that people were dying of malnutrition while simultaneously growing obese.

    He's a very popular former-governor and current-senator of Virginia. Virginia was a very close state. Without Kaine, Clinton might have lost Virginia, and all this talk about "How Democrats Lost the Rust Belt" wouldn't even matter.

    You DARE besmirch the artistry of Jack The Giant Slayer!?!??
