@avclub-4e4ab643907180059a3ca192314f182b:disqus : at the risk of being fished in, I'd say that the problem with the a2a scene was all the creeps gathered around them, cheering them on. It wasn't as if they got together for tea and cookies and one of them pulled a double dong out of her bag and giggled about how she…

Even his successes have had that problem, I think; his original script for Blues Brothers was way longer and had a ton of stuff cut from it, and even Ghostbusters had a scene that didn't make it (there's a vestige of it in the film, as the dream sequence in which Aykroyd is in a Napoleonic uniform and gets a beej from…

How is that not written by Peter Travers? I'm confused.

I think that it's very likely to be 50% less shitty than LiLo's thing, unless HBC has a hidden propensity to trash trailers and flip a coin to decide whether she's going to show up to the set that day or not.

I'd like to be a baroness, please, if a tight leather catsuit is involved.

There's this thing called Foursquare, see.

I find myself having the same reaction to Johns' work; when I first discovered his JSA run, I bought the first several TPBs, but eventually I just sort of lost interest in the whole thing, and when I go back and look at them, I sort of wonder why I bothered. (There are still a few bits that work, like anything to do…

Speaking of "gloriously overstuffed" and "lengthy prose bits", I just picked The Black Dossier back up for the first time in a while, and hoo boy… I forgot how much of it I skimmed or skipped over the first time (especially the faux-Kerouac stuff). I may need to clear the decks and spend some serious time with it and…

The point is that (and I'll admit that I just skimmed over the Moloch comic, so I may have missed something), in the Moloch book, he's depicted as being ugly and misshapen, and that having this big effect on who he turned out to be, when originally he totally wasn't. And I really didn't need an explanation for why he…

@avclub-e129a878f7b0e5aa9ac09e0282f64ea6:disqus : You actually checked? Whoa, I'm flattered.

I think that the bit that review that cites Barry's "rare ability to recall the sensations of childhood" gets it right. Most cartoonists, good and bad, tend to write children the way that they wish their own childhood had been (i.e. almost always precocious); I've never gotten that from Barry's work.

I'm never sure as to whether I should hate TMZ for extending Tila Tequila's wholly undeserved semidemihemicelebrityhood, or appreciate them for exposing her as a drama queen. Maybe both?

I don't remember that detail. (I do remember the one that strongly suggested that Downs had used the neck of a bottle of Southern Comfort to pleasure herself.) Probably I've forgotten it after having seen a talk show (I think it might have been Sally Jessie Raphael) that had both Rule and Downs on (Downs via satellite…

@avclub-ca6cb47da12090ffd2470daf51f71be1:disqus : wouldn't that be cunnilupus?

Ron Moore wrote "We've Got Tonight"? I had no idea.

Nite Owl's looking rather good, I must say.
