America being a real-life version of Gotham City, a place caught in an
endless cycle of political extremes. Those claiming to be heroes end up
breeding villains whose viewpoints are as overzealous as their own

Remaking this movie in 2015 would require a lot of attention to context to bring its message up to speed with the type of imperialism practiced nowadays. I didn't have much faith that Roth would succeed with that, or even bother trying.

"Secret Success": agreed.

It's important what goes in those blanks, though. Auto-tune has a place in the world.

There's no magic kingdom in the near future where we can all stop caring and things will take care of themselves. Maybe not your favorite answer, but there it is.

I love the suggestion that she should go to Oni for a little bit to get her ready for Marvel, as Oni's output tends to be about ten to a hundred times more mature and impressive than the lookalike dross put out by Marvel and DC.

They mean the part where Nick Fury had a son that we never heard about who looks just like Ultimate Nick Fury and movie Nick Fury. That's the Samuel L. Jackson-looking Nick Fury that's been in most recent Marvel comic books.

Why do you care so much? Plague of false sexual harassment claims going on in your head or something?

Every year it's still around.

I haven't played any of those games yet, and if that's true, that sucks. I was promised an ordeal. Why make them easier? Fill a niche.

Really? I thought that was Robert Redford! Man, I must be the laughingstock of the salad dressing club.

Greg Horn, different dude, but I wouldn't sweat it because you cannot be blamed for the underlying problem that makes them easy to confuse.

I almost wish he'd taken more liberties. "Iron Man 3" wouldn't be called that in the era of the mock poster. It would be something like "Iron Man's Last Battle" instead.

Do you know which character I relate to in these movies? Nebula, as played by Karen Gillan, an actress I had never laid eyes on before I saw her in Guardians of the Galaxy. Why do I relate?
