Is the song in the mini-series? I always imagined Larry Underwood sounding like Michael McDonald.

Shit, I had successfully blocked "Man of the Year" out of my memory until now. I guess the AV Club writers did too because it really belongs on this list.

I would totally play The World even knowing there's a good chance I'll slip into a coma and my consciousness will be trapped inside.

Don = Godzilla
Sally = Minya
Peggy = Mothra
Ginsberg = Mechagodzilla
Megan = Jet Jaguar
Pete = Gigan

What about the cartoon devil on the box of Red Hots that so troubled Ned Flanders?

I don't know how the show was perceived back then but I don't think Megan's presumptions about it were that implausible. It's not like it was The Bold and the Beautiful until a vampire showed up and completely changed the tone. Dark Shadows had always been a gothic soap opera. There were even supernatural elements

And he was just talking about Battle Angel Alita a couple of weeks ago while he was doing press for Titanic 3D. He said he planned on making it after Avatar 3. It actually got my hopes up.

I'm pulling for Full frontal Fat Belding.

Maybe they're holding out until the 10 hour cut of Greed is finally unearthed?

Case Closed has run for well over 600 episodes and is still ongoing in Japan. Adult Swim dropped it after less than 50 episodes because of low ratings. It was a poor fit for the network as it's quite obviously a children's show, but one that can't be marketed to kids in America since it's filled with murder. Fox

I remember when it came out most people seemed to think it was either good or just OK. It didn't become the "worst superhero movie ever" until a little later when everyone got together and decided Ben Affleck was the "worst actor ever".

Your memory serves you wrong. Nightwing Dick is a complete tool. He ignores Batman and Batgirl's warnings of teaming up with Catwoman and this is after the episode where he warns Batgirl of the dangers of teaming up with Catwoman.

She was great as Titania in Gargoyles, part of the endless parade of Star Trek actors who voiced characters on that show.

When it happened I thought he did just make an unfortunate mistake. Maybe he said it on purpose knowing he could get away with it by blaming it on his poor English, which, based on the rest of the episode, isn't that poor.

Peggy tells Megan "This is as good as this job gets" yet she's clearly not as happy as Peggy thinks she should be. Later her father tells her she's given up on doing what she wanted to do. Megan came to New York to become an actress and maybe now she's realizing being in the ad business is a poor substitute.

Marsupilami is Belgian but it must be pretty popular in France too, seeing as how they're producing a live action movie based on it.

Yes Bane really suffers in adaptations. I think Oliver really hit the nail in the head that people can't buy a character who's both cunning and physically powerful.

@Jay_Z:disqus It wasn't that he talked about living in the country that surprised me. What surprised me is that he brought up his past at all. It's not as though he's risking his secret being exposed, but he's usually completely closed off in general.
