Maybe Monster A Go-Go.

It's like being the only one in a movie theater, or one of the people that consistently votes Libertarian and/or Green. You're doing your part, and it doesn't matter. Like usual.

Hey man, I saw Snakes On A Plane on its opening weekend! I'm not the problem, I'm the solution! Or maybe the opposite; hey, I'm not a philospher.

Wow; killed by a bike accident 18 years later. Must've been a nasty-ass spill.

Stereotypes are easier to write for. Maybe not easier to write well for, but when the script is hackery that the lead is expected to float through sheer personality (and is the sort of person whose exactly what the show is advertised to be), you're going to keep things simple. So, no inversions, no consistencies in

He wanted to be paid in actual money?

I rememeb hearing a Def Leppard in a bar and telling my friend that as mean as it sounds, he was really terrible drumming with one harm. He repsonded that he wasn't that good with two, so it made more sense why they kept him around.

I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go

Hell, they could keep ghost Lori forever!

Maybe it's that comic figures seem to have parellel exiustences; those in the oublic eye where they're largely inactive representations, and in the comic world where they do stuff. But the former is largely static (Joe Blow sees Superman as a mishmash of Christopher Reeve, George Reeves and Superfriends - mullet-guy,

I wonder if having the biggest show on TV (Sunday NFL) a fall-only thing, when you normally launch and establish new shows, makes them gunshy about putting alpha quality there. So during the season you have dross, and then later, people don't expect anything really good to be a mid-season replacement so they don't

Well, to be everything to everyone, you pretty much have to be essentially faceless. Satan can be hammy, sinister, sarcastic, tired, whatever. But Jesus is pretty much always a supporting character in his own story, lest you offend by specifics. Maybe Islam accidentally got it right by banning representation of

Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex: The Movie!

Sometimes I think maybe I chould write for a living, but then I realize my name isn't ricidulous enough, and I have too much self-awareness to make up one I'd stick with. Plus, you know, the writing thing.

I asked for that.

Yeah, but don't his movies cost like eight bucks to film? Pure proft, baby!

Hey, the agreement was tight t-shirts! I paid $30 bucks for this online, baby; what's the deal?

Nothing a young woman likes to see more than a shiny, shiny head. The reflection makes you feel pretty!

I'd like to believe that I, having made zero movies, worked zero hours in the movie business and having no friends who have, could crank out something that could average $1K/screen. How hard could it be? That's like 100 people per screen over a weekend, so 30-something per day. Divided up over, say, four showings per

Except for Batman, I find that with most DC (and a few Marvel as well, such as Hulk and Captain America) heroes. Wonder Woman, The Flash, Aquaman (for all the wrong reasons) and the B-Listers; they have a kind of pop-culture presense, but if ask any non-hardcore comicker why or what stories they're best in or their
