Agree 100%

To the third power… And yes I may be oldest of all.

The graphic novel places the emphasis squarely on Enid & Becky, which I prefer personally. But the movie is still worthwhile in its own right. Like many film adaptations, it's a distinct piece of work.

This scene was the too close to the type of racial stereotyping you'd see in "Family Affair" or some other MOR late-60s, early 70s sitcom that would accompany the appearance of any Asian character with the sound of a gong. People should know better than to do this in the 21st century.
Hilarious side note: An ad for

Man…I guess I didn't get the memo. No list yet, but my top two are Black Sabbath's 13 and Patty Griffin's American Kid. That's what I get for growing old (and never really seeing the appeal of Fall Out Boy.)

Can't disagree there. "The Return Of Barry Allen" was a pivotal story in Wally's development back in the day and a high point in Waid's run IMHO. I was also a big fan of Messner-Loeb's Wally stories.

No DC Silver Age without Barry Allen as breakout star, meaning no Wally West and no Arrow.

Philip Hinchcliffe (74-77). His era gave us all the classic scary Tom Baker episodes. Forgive me, I'm very old. Between RTD and Moffat, it's a toss-up for me although Moffat was smart to cast the very talented Matt Smith.

The Middle shows a different class stratum than usually pops up in sitcoms.

You're not alone.

Norma Shearer's Lady Of The Night is one of the all-time great movies, silent or otherwise. I'll always be grateful to TCM for exposing me to that long-lost silent classic.

Classic Keaton is classic Keaton. People who don't like it are just plain wrong!

I've always felt that John's music was his true "better half," with songs like Imagine representing what he aspired toward, not where he actually was. Remember, he said he was a "dreamer" and was pretty open about his flaws when interviewed in depth.

Next week's show looks bad … unless it really is Katharine and Stefan together. That would be awesome …

I dunno, "the vigilante" always worked for The Vigilante

The opening and closing scenes were cool enough to put up with the Procedure-By-Numbers plot. I also liked the bit with Shaw at the Book Club and the concept of a POI Star Chamber. I'd give it a B.

There was also a 70s horror movie called "The Thing With Two Heads" where an African American man's head is grafted onto the body of a white racist … which I presume is where Futurama nicked the premise itself.

Line of the night, Juliette's "No. She did not win. She came in second."

Aside from the Super Bowl Shuffle parody, I liked the fact that the East's rap was decidedly old-school East Coast style a la The Sugarhill Gang while the West Coast was closer to 90s gangsta style a la West Coast's Death Row records. Subtle snd brilliant

Nice to see AV Club's snark used in the service of good rather than evil …
