Yeah, they definitely ran him and AndrAIa through the "90s comic book" machine. He became a grizzled super-warrior like Cable and she turned into AquaBabe.

Das 2t

I suspect Matt Damon would have had a much less successful career if he had the same kind of obvious good looks as his buddy Ben.

I take issue with their inclusion of Point Break in their cavalcade of mediocrity. That one's a ludicrous classic.

The fact that Cleese hates it makes it funnier, if anything.

That Mitchell & Webb look had some funny material.

"… who's decided to take a little 'Clifford Baines' time."

I'm sure she's a lovely person and she probably has a lot of great points not represented here, but this quote just comes across as absolutely silly.

I need to remember that phrase for casual conversation, regardless of subject.

I read a lot of Spider-Man comics when I was very young so took it for granted that Aunt May looked and acted like an "old person".

I agree but that's probably coloured by the fact that I was a 13-year-old boy at the time.

Also, if you saw a drawing of Peter Parker devoid of context and in normal clothes, I bet most people wouldn't be able to say, "Hey, that's Spider-Man's secret identity." He just looks like a teenager/twenty-something with brown hair and maybe a camera.

How rich was Veronica supposed to be, anyway? She had a butler and a mansion and a pool, but they could never seem to decide between "richer than her small-town neighbors" and "Daddy Warbucks".

Got it in one. Also, Jason Momoa stars in a recurring role as Mr. Weatherbee.

Huh. Much obliged.

A weird one for me is The Godfather, on Xbox and then Xbox 360. Sort of a GTA knockoff but I swear that I've extracted more fun from that game while taking over New York than the developers possibly could have included to begin with.

In a weird way I think that Trump's election might actually be good for Dan. He just seems so depressed and in the dumps lately that a tangible force to dread and revile might help to get his feet back under him.

Just listened to that episode. Apparently when you say "overnight" you ain't kidding: Modi made an unscheduled announcement at 7 pm that went into effect at midnight. Fucking madness.

I'm curious: what was the TWIST? I only ever heard the ads.

Hodgman's reaction to his pilot not being picked up—"It's show business. These things happen."—was really endearing to me. I know if I ever wrote a pilot that I was proud of I'd probably take it as a personal affront if people weren't falling over each other to produce it.
