Here's my full list of everything Superman Returns got right: it looked cool when he got shot in the eye.

Wait, there are people who don't like watching Chico play the piano? Why do you hate joy?
Yes, O'Neal is indeed the Goldilocks of snark.
What's wrong with being sexy?
I wouldn't want to read a website where every review was written by a superfan. That would be exhausting, and every review would be positive.
You know it's a good episode when it results in a long apology on Dan's blog.
The Count would be fantastic on Doug Loves Movies. Just putting that out there.
That's how I see that scene, as well. It doesn't matter whether he makes it out of that diner. We know that he's not going to change his life, we know that he can't truly protect himself… this is what his life will be, until he's shot like Bobby, or winds up in a coma like Silvio, or gets cancer like Jackie, or has a…
When I used to come across Dinner and a Movie 10 years ago, I was always a little embarrassed that I actually thought it was funny. I definitely did not expect that that dude would make me cry on a regular basis a decade later.
It's a fine framework to hang something interesting on, but it's not interesting on its own. And I was responding to @avclub-ad45e11f2e88b8963920c79cd1d8755e:disqus - it's the Batman analogue of his example of dull Superman stories.
I haven't seen Man of Steel, but I'll forgive those problems in Iron Man 3, because it had sense of humor and charm, and was light and breezy. Man of Steel looks like a dour slog.
There are plenty of dumb Batman stories as well. Villain steals a thing and kidnaps a girl. Batman lurks in some dark place, beats some information out of someone we've never seen before, fills up some story time playing with the bat-computer, then beats down the main villain.
I already like the guy, but I thought he was particularly good on this. His delivery was hilarious.
I'm going to call that scene a Dave Anthony cameo, even though its more likely a "Dave Anthony takes a bit part because it's a part" scene.
If you go off the strip, Vegas has some incredible food. Jonathan Gold calls Lotus of Siam the best Thai restaurant in North America, and if you stay away from their giant wine list, it's also damn affordable. Everyone should go there when they're in Vegas.
Whenever I'm cooking red meat, I always picture him screaming "You do NOT serve undercooked steak to a COWBOY!"
My dream is that someone make a Silver Age Superman movie, with a million interlocking subplots, Guy Ritchie style. Just cram in as much of that as will fit into 120 minutes.
I generally like TMBG, but this song is particularly striking. Nice!
As they say on Children's Hospital, he's totes Liottes.
