Doom Patrol is without a doubt the one you have to get if they're not offering Animal Man. It's messy and not quite successful by the end, but it's also what puts the Doom Patrol's total output as a concept a smidge above all the Marvel character teams to which they're often compared. Be prepared for better concepts…

Sorkin does suck, though. He has one character, a smart-mouthed white dude, and then a bunch of half-ideas of people who would make that guy look intelligent in comparison.

If they both have the same problems, why not ignore both instead of picking sides and gleefully playing pot & kettle? This was a terrible book, a gross white male cartoon of racial and sexual politics told in scratchy, hurried art, and I'm stunned anyone wants a TV show made out of it.

No glad-handing poseur has yet upvoted my comment, proving that it's not only metal, but maybe the most metal comment on this whole article.

Why does everyone always repeat this ad nauseam? Sometimes, yes, sometimes, no. We've all sat through dismal pictures that used "not showing the monster" to try to gin up fake credibility for a boring story or one too ambitious for the filmmaker's talent or budget or both. On the other hand, showing the monster works…

BU$H

I'm concerned about taking my kids to see this picture, so I want to ask: do any of these actors voice the cars in the Cars movies? If not, they're going to raise heck.

It's possible you've gotten old. There are a ton of recent franchise monsters that are recognizable on sight to, by the numbers, a lot of people.

I liked things here and there about the movie when I saw it in the theater, but wasn't sold on it until the scene at the very end, which proceeds convincingly like a nightmare intruding into real life. At the time, it was the sort of scene you'd see fifteen minutes into a big-release horror movie, not the end of it.

It kicks in?

intermittently coherent, depressingly ugly, awkwardly paced, and pretentious

Poltergeist isn't very frightening.

This sounds harrowing.

"The Ghost Dimension"? Are you 100%, completely, totally sure this wasn't a Mr. Show sketch you saw?

I just want to kill babies, and it seems like the best opportunity.

GWAR are funny and talented and their schtick got old before I could legally buy cigarettes.

The McPoyles can't carry their own series, man.

I didn't know that show was still on the air and I figure it must suck by now, is that metal enough? The answer is yes.

You heard it here first: the Jews aren't behind this movie.

I never get to meet these cool people
