I think that they think going post-modern or deconstructionist is "smarter". They're comic books, guys. Kids got hooked on Spider-Man or Superman from their straight ahead heroism. "Watchmen" is all fine and good, but it's not going to pull in the masses. Diana doesn't have a tortured backstory, and it seems like the

For my money, they could have shaved 5 minutes from the Ares fight for more "Diana experiences the modern world" stuff.

More wordplay than jokes, but:
-Gunfire erupted from a window high above them, but it was only a bass player getting shot for playing the wrong riff three times in a row, and bass players are two a penny in Han Dold City.
- The storm had now definitely abated, and what thunder there was now grumbled over more distant

The list of things that made the Blues Brothers great (Belushi, the music, the car chases, the stacked cast, the band) does include Aykroyd, but he's hardly the lynchpin.
Spies Like Us is worth a watch; it's not a classic, but it's funny.

Blues Brothers 2000 is way worse than the Ghostbusters reboot. I rather liked the latter; the former makes me want to give Thanos a hand destroying the multiverse so that no one else has to suffer through it.

WW: Because you two are serious downers. Smile once in a while.

Break through the studio wall into another production; it was good enough for the finale of Blazing Saddles.

Depp is Azor Ahai? Cooooooool.

13 episodes isn't a lot of time to wrap up the story via the army of Lyanna Mormont clones v. white walkers, and set up the "Magical Misadventures of Hot Pie".

a) Wonder Woman is good
b) I hope the Predators can make this a series (it has been two good games so far)

I know the darkness helps with the CGI, and then I remember Civil War's airport scene. I'm a bit worried that's going to be a DCEU trademark, especially with Darkseid to come, but right now I'm cool with a DC movie that I flat out enjoyed as a comic book fan. They can do it, so Justice League has a higher bar to reach.

Just got back from watching it; liked it a lot. I am with you on your final point: there was no reason to fake out the audience by implying that Diana did not hear what Steve said; the end result would have been the same.
I still dug it, though. It was a good job giving some motivation and personality to her "team" in

Saruman: Oooh, that's a bingo! Is that the way you say it? 'That's a bingo'?
Gandalf: You just say 'bingo'.
Saruman: Bingo! How fun!

"That really was a Hattori Hanzo sword." Kill Bill 1 is high on my list of films that do not suffer from a repeat viewings; the fight in the House of Blue Leaves is so damn good.

I listened to way, way, way too much Dr. Demento as a child, and any episode with a McKenzie Brothers bit was just heaven.

Some folks have been educated far, far beyond their intelligence level.

But…but… big-ass dinosaurs! Chris Pratt! Cute kid and surly teenager! That's a hit movie, right?
Nah, it was mediocre, sound and fury, signifying nothing, attempting to cash in on nostalgia without capturing what was so good about the original. And it made no use of Judy Greer. Two redheads. Two! And they made a

Andorians and Tellarites* and Vulcans, oh my!
*Pig people, Gene? You're better than that.

I like "The Enterprise Incident", but after that I'm out.

"Tribbles" may not be great in a meaningful way, but it's goofiness done right, and about as Trek as Trek can get (space stations! Klingons! jackass authority figure! deadpan Spock!) and utterly enjoyable TV.
