As Carlos said earlier: Superman doesn't kill. It's as simple as that. Yes, I know other stories have shown him killing someone, but frankly I'm not a fan of those either.

Hey, at least it's not being written by Mike D'Angelo. Subsequently, I have high hopes.

Sure he was, he whispered it on TV and I presume he had the decency to do it in the privacy of his own home, or - failing that - in the changing rooms at the nearest TJ Maxx.

People still have imaginations. It's just that those with the power to get movies made have no faith in imagination. Brand recognition isn't guaranteed box office success, but it's a safer bet than something new and original.

So does he really kill Zod? If so, no thanks.

I still get excited for some superhero movies. Just not ones that are directed by Zack Snyder.

Mark Hamill in "Empire Strikes Back" is kinda the gold standard of "noooooos!"

Are you talking about the first year of Valiant in the early 90s, up to and including "Unity?" Because if so, then you are one correct doctor.

Sally Draper Patricide Watch: THREAT LEVEL MIDNIGHT

Shooter had plenty of faults, but the man was some kind of comic book savant. "Marvel Comics: The Untold Story" is full of instances of him alienating people and making increasingly myopic editorial decisions interspersed with instances of him displaying sheer genius when it came to storytelling, character, and… well,…

Superhero trials are almost always kind of a letdown for me. They're an attempt to bring the very foundation of realistic society into a fantasy/allegorical world, but any realistic result would involve every non-government sanctioned hero on this list going to jail. So inevitably there's some last minute twist that…

#137 leaped to my mind as well, but is it really a trial when a bird-haired woman declares you guilty and sentences you to death in the first two pages?

That superb Prometheus video was obviously the inspiration for the format my rant took. With both films, it's very frustrating to really WANT to like a movie to the point where you're willing to overlook a few leaps in logic/character here or there, but both movies just kept throwing them at the audience at such a…

The Twilight Zone's "Nick of Time" is the single best, most succinct argument against divination, fate, destiny, fortune telling, god's divine plan, whatever-you-wanna-call-it. Its genius is that it doesn't try to disprove fate, but instead argues that "fate" is irrelevant. If it were up to me, I'd show it to every…

Nah, he's a cool guy. Maybe on paper some of the stuff he says can sound dick-ish, but he mostly is just amused by fame/celebrity/whatever and likes to shoot the shit in a fun kinda way.

At least "What's Up" and a few others had beats that kinda half-assedly tried to match the rhythms of the original song. For my money, the worst offender was a horrible techno version of "Don't Speak" that literally sounded like someone was playing the original tune and some completely unrelated bland dance jam…

They're ok, I guess.

I'd take a shot of Whiskey, that's for sure.

My Ween Story:

Even worse, it's one of the first rock-ballady songs (if memory serves) that got the "hardcore techno remix" in the 90s. Ugh. No amount of goofy He-Man YouTube fun can overcome the base awfulness.
