Not only do I have a soft spot for Mr. Irons in this movie, I have a soft spot for each and every one of the first three Die Hard movies.  Yeah, no shit!

Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman.

@Nick Slaughter To be fair, I think Asians would be more likely to say "Wercome to Elf".

Jaden Smith is very troubled about this:

So, do we have The Pursuit of Happyness to blame for goddamn Jaden-goddamn-Smith's permanently arched brow?  Or is it the fact that he's constantly worried that he may, in fact, be an even bigger douche than his father is?  

'Tis the one, though I read it as I was re-reading, lo, these many years later, The Tenacity of the Cockroach.

Don't know if'n anyone's mentioned this yet, but:  I just re-read his interview with ("the Onion") A.V. Club last goddamn evening, and it can best be summed up as:  "Get Offa My LAWN, the Interview".

One of my favorites:  28 Days Later - the zombies aren't the real monsters.  I know many, MANY people who were sorely let down because it wasn't just another humans-chased-by-zombies-for-90-minutes movie; and that, of course, is the very reason I love it as much as I do.

The first couple or three episodes were actually pretty damn strong, and then the Tsarnaev brothers inserted themselves into the national dialogue, NBC/Bryan Fuller (sort of understandably) got cold feet, and they decided not to air an episode.  Which then made it absolutely necessary that I stop watching the show…

Of course, being a goddamn Gen X-er, most of mine were mentioned up top.  A few that weren't, however?

Travel (which is sort of like the Food Network, minus all the annoying on air "talent"; and yes, I know the Cooking Channel is a thing, but still)

That's what I took away from the scene as well.

But there’s more pot-stirring that needs to happen first, and if you’re
looking for epic shit, you’re going to have to be satisfied by the
awesome wall-climbing sequences this week (which were pretty darn
satisfying).

Let's not forget, though, that pretty much all cops' starting position is "dick", and they only get worse from there.

Chronologically:  Charles M. Schulz's Peanuts, via the Peanuts Parade books; C.S. Lewis' The Chronicles of Narnia; Stephen King's The Stand, Different Seasons, Night Shift, and Skeleton Crew; Alan Moore's Watchmen and Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns and Batman: Year One, because I read all three in quick…

What, no mention of Mr. Jaws?  LAME!

For robbing me of my "Night on Disco Mountain" reference, @avclub-9349e20458f64c9bfb83b5221e145937:disqus, I SWEAR (::pant, pant::), *SWEAR* to YOU that I shall watch as you're consumed to naught but ASHES in a DISCO INFERNO!

I, as a wee lad, used to own the very album pictured up top.  What I remember most about it was that it used to skip something goddamn awful, right out of the wrapper and no matter *how* you tried to alleviate it.  But it didn't skip as bad as the lead track on KISS's breathtakingly-awesome-to-my-ten-year-old-ears…

Half man, *FULL* biscuit, muh-fuhs!

It's "little person", you silly billy!
