14 in Germany. Mädchen in Uniform, etc.

15 year old girls do not have fully-formed brains and are therefore incapable of consenting to sex.

It's not really a retcon because practically nothing was known about Magneto's background for the first decade or two of his existence; it wasn't until issues of both UXM and The Avengers that came out at about the same time, in the late seventies/early eighties or so (both drawn by John Byrne), that anyone knew that

In the comics, they've had him doing all kinds of shit, from mind control (via being able to control the blood flow in people's brains due to the iron in hemoglobin) to messing around with the earth's magnetic field. If his power were actually strictly based on magnetism, nothing should have stopped, say, Nightcrawler

Don't forget Jim Gordon of Gotham City becoming the patsy.

It probably doesn't help that the poster and name makes it look like some sort of fightin'-the-terr'rists movie, as opposed to it basically (from the summary above) being a Breaking Bad movie where a studlier version of Hank Schrader is the hero.

And, hand to God, his dream project was to write/direct/star in an Edgar Allen Poe biopic.

Oh, I dunno about that. I mean, I've been looking for an excuse to get a new clock radio.

(One assumes that Jakes, a homophobe of the “It’s not me, it’s Leviticus” variety, doesn’t believe that Hughes was gay.)

Black Good Friday, with Idris Elba as J-Sauce and Louis C.K. as The Man.

Ghostbusters II is sort of a retread of Ghostbusters with a lot of the edges filed down.

Ugh, no. The "Tomato Stomp" from that same movie was funny, but "Puberty Love" just made me want to stab myself in the ears, repeatedly. (And, no, I'm not a tomato.)

Ullman’s failure to attract viewers was never as mysterious as many reviewers wanted to believe; her showy technique, which was often lavished on some very thinly written characters, stuck out in a way that was more impressive than entertaining. She was so much funnier and more appealing when she dropped her mask on

I'm surprised that you didn't mention the Practice/Ally McBeal crossover episodes. It was a decent commentary/self-critique from Kelley about how affected and removed from real law practice the latter series was.

What was wrong with Jeri Ryan? She was one of the better things about the show.

I'd go big and go way back, hide a video camera in a basket of loaves and fishes, and document what a certain Galilean itinerant carpenter-turned-street-preacher really said.

I tend to belittle conspiracy theories because they all ignore the lesson that Watergate, the great political conspiracy of our time, taught us: even the most paranoid, secretive president of the modern era couldn't get away with it. Anyone who has any business breaking into any home or office knows that you keep the

Daphne may be a ginger, but that's close enough to blonde for racial purity. But Velma? A short brunette with glasses? A jüdisches Mädchen, for sure, if not a lesbian.

So, there really isn't anything that hipsters can't ruin, is there?
