Interesting breakdown. And yes, those three actors (Murray and co.) had amazing chemistry. I don't know the production history behind Ghostbusters, but I would assume it was an organic idea that capitalized off an already established chemistry of three funny dudes. Trying to reproduce this in laboratory conditions (a…

As evidenced when Meatballs II took the country by storm a mere month after the original Ghostbusters was released

Me too. Why not? There's a lot of interesting stuff to explore in an expanded universe that wouldn't necessarily consist of pissing all over the original.

I haven't gotten a look at Loki. Too many books to keep up with. I've been enjoying New Avengers quite a bit, and Moon Knight has been interesting in a low-key way.

I read the first issue of Nightcrawler— I wasn't taken with it. Maybe I needed to stick around longer?

The Fantastic Four has some great villains at their disposal, and they seem not to do much with them. Dr. Doom is like a glorified babysitter at this point, as far as I can tell.

I have been reading FF for about a year now, in an effort to get better-acquainted with some of the characters that I never spent much time with as a kid. It's been a bit of a chore. Not that it's bad, but they don't seem to do all that much— they just fly around and do a lot of arguing.

In retrospect, I guess what's happening in the comics now makes twisted sense: Wolverine dying, Professor X dead, the X-Men team fractured, Cyclops viewed as a villain, etc. Still doesn't explain why there are as many X-books as there are, though. Unless they recognize that X-books sell, and that's the reason.

If they keep putting RDJ in an Iron Man suit, I'm going to keep paying to see the result. End of story.

I forgot about that video. I bet I lost my virginity to that video 30 or 40 times.

This song is wormy. It is in your life and you don't want it to be. It says it's your friend. It says it's all right. It wants to get a little closer. It wants to touch you and you don't want it to but maybe it's okay because it's just so chill and seems sort of cool but before you can say no here come the hands—…

That's what my memory is conjuring. It's like a dark, greasy jungle in there.

My family was Pro-Pizza Hut. I didn't eat "real" pizza probably until college. And then the scales were lifted from my eyes.

I read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in like 5th or 6th grade. Wow, did that spoil me for a while. I could not be satisfied with any of the tripe we were assigned in class. Nonetheless, I too was seen as an avid reader, when in reality I was just picking up and abandoning dozens and dozens of books in the hopes…

I mean….certainly not dry.

Try the new Pizza Hut P'Abomination!

No, not glorious. How would you describe it though? Wet? Pizza-shaped?

Dicking Around My Mansion in a Pair of Cargo Shorts, Parts 1 - 4

When I say "sermonizing," I don't mean that the characters themselves are sermonizing— because you're right, a religious character is bound to act in a religious fashion— but you can often sense the filmmakers' prejudices one way or the other. A "message" that is thinly veiled as an entertainment can be grating and…

It would be a good premise if told objectively and put in the hands of a craftsman who wasn't afraid of ruffling a few feathers. Religious viewers usually aren't going to want to deal with complexity, and secular viewers usually aren't going to tolerate any sermonizing.
