When we were wee youngins, we were told that if a flag was ever filthified by touching the floor, it would have to be burnt, because as Americans, impure things offended our sensibilities. And then it suddenly was bad because some Iranians or whatever burned them to get on TV. Getting on TV is what Americans do! So…

Eh, not a Christian, but that never stopped any member of my family from getting sloppy drunk at Christmas!

Eh, it needed a shitload of work. And probably a much larger budget (once again, like the latest Star Trek, Earth has only one ship or something). There were OK ideas (though the idea that they were *still* working on a bioweapon after they were revealed to be kinda easy to kill after all probably wasn't salvageable),…

Because she's a hooker?

Sunburnt Swedes; they look Mexican on camera.

I was lead the believe that the reason it was OK that bands made 50 cents per CD sale is that they made their real money touring. If that's not true, how have bands existed for this long - all available information says management and label exist solely to steal from them, and only the bass player gets any money off…

These never made any sense to me. What kind of idiot thinks that humans can survive on human poop?

Well, they mentioned pogs, so that's like sort of Alf-related. Especially if it refers to Alf being missing for some time, but later, being back.

Eh, I guess. It just seems like off-the-shelf "instant characterization" for a character that was never necessary in the first place beyond "DC has a fast guy, so we should, too!"

Every generation must rediscover timeworn cliches on its own, unfortunately.

I'm sorry; look at his hair. No one with hair like that can be liked, much less loved.

That's what separates stars from us little people. I Hustler wanted to make a porn about anything I was involved in, that would be awesome! If I were a star, I'd instead have a sad.

I haven't really read comics since the mid-80s, but Quicksilver always seemed like a D-lister that the editors inexplicably loved for reasons they could never manage to put on the page. He was like an unusually-unlikeable douchebag Flash (yay?), had a silly haircut and was always vaguely related to weird Inhuman/High…

He's also explicitly Canadian, which trumps minor issues like sexuality, age, species or criminal record. OTOH, didn't he have a sexy twin sister?

Can he be in a bear suit?

The problem is peasants are usually unattractive and dull, so watching them fight isn't very interesting. You need sexy, charismatic people for that, and those don't work for $15/hour.

OK, but wouldn't the bottom three leave? It's not like "not being fire" is gonna put you on the management track if you're already officially labeled as "not quite bad enough to fire on national TV, but very close…".

Some Cs are because it has really awesome parts mixed in with nearly unbearable crap. Maybe it's good until the last 10 minutes, or the female lead's abrasiveness makes you question your own sexuality but otherwise it's really funny. So it averages. Other Cs are just kinda "eh" all the way through.

No one knows how I feel!
