She becomes a superhero after eating a chicken and absorbing its power.

Having Prepon depart in season two is probably the best course of action for the show dramatically.

I don't love everything Dowd has written but there is nothing wrong with this review. He touches on the foundational problems drawn from Miller's work just briefly, and then moves to focus on the fairly numerous flaws specific to the film for the remainder of the piece.

Just going to reiterate what others have said in regard to both study groups and if possible with your major and finances, study abroad.

That sort of situation is the worst, getting involved in another family's business is always touchy and with particularly dickish parents you're just inviting more hardship on the kid later if you get involved, but none of that feels very satisfying (or right) in the moment.

Unquestionably, these are the faces and bodies of the master race.

Raiders of the Lost Ark is certainly up there, it's hard to beat the classic truck chase. Outside of that, T2, Jurassic Park, Commando for 80s Arnie movies, probably many others that will come to me throughout the day.

Almost nothing ages a post-war movie or book more comically than having Japan as the Big Bad or looming threat.

Excuse me, but a Wyrm is a dragon of Maedieval myth. Fuckin' jocks.

And most importantly, not stretched over hundreds of pages.

I just realized now that everytime I've read these recaps I've been incorrectly envisioning Kojak rather than Columbo.

There's only one thing I want to hear less than adults haughtily discussing stocks, and that is children haughtily discussing stocks.

I blame the last decade's proliferation of zombie shite.

This gave me flashbacks to the infamous internet video "Shake That Bear".

Yeah that whole scene is wonderfully awkward, the insights about Jiro's preparation methods the critic talks about are actually interesting, but the man's right there in the room!

I suppose it depends on the circumstances behind the deletion. In the case of Scott's Kingdom of Heaven, studio interference cut out huge swaths of the film that hurt its overall coherence quite a bit.

Although Byzantium sounds great on its own merits, I will never not be disappointed when I see the title and automatically think for a split-second that it might be about the Byzantine Empire.

And thus, the Ghostbusters incident of our time was born.

This is the number one thing that puts me off from the works of Korine and particularly Clark.
