The THIRD one is pretty good, though; but ROTLD3 throws away the comedy and plays it straight- it really should be considered totally separate from the first two. 
 Mindy Clarke gives a great performance as a punkette slowly turning into a zombie; you may know her as MELINDA Clarke, aka "Heather the dominatrix" from CSI

(And admit it- Arnold would KILL as The Beast. "I have the Big-Feets! "

well, there was the slight chance it might improve things… and little chance it could make it any worse.

The change in name (allegedly because the studio held out hope that Clint might do a sequel)  helped a LOT to differentiate the two in people's minds, I think.
  I suspect most people don't know about the direct connection between the two, and just think of MCCLOUD as "that show that ripped off it's idea from a movie",…

Mudderway, the list isn't about tv shows that are BETTER than their movies, it's about shows that ECLIPSED their movies- became more well-known than their source material.   So, yeah, if PARENTHOOD runs long enough, it probably WILL eclipse the movie, which really isn't THAT well-known (it was a hit, but not a BIG…

WE DO NOT DISRESPECT LEE VAN CLEEF IN THIS HOUSE, young man.

There's MATALO, which was actually intended to be done completely without dialogue, until the producers got could feet and made them add some narration and a couple of scenes of people talking:  http://www.youtube.com/watc…

It was like we'd said "Hey, we all agree this movie sucks, right?"and everyone laughed in agreement. There wasn't any more shout-outs, but a lot of whispers and giggling for the rest of the film.

Not at all: http://www.youtube.com/watc…

I saw that in a theatre. During the scene where Nick Nolte finally figures things out (about a half-hour after the audience), there's a long, drawn-out close-up of him with his "serious thinkin'time" face going on. I said out loud "Dental Plan!", and someone nearby responded, Marco Polo-style, with "Lisa needs braces!"
…

I mentioned it above.Yeah, I'd love to see Baker go back and redraw those without the rush, in the style of one of his more recent graphic novels.

The Dick Tracy of the comics didn't do much detecting, either. Early on, Chester Gould did plot out actual mysteries, but realised that, being a newspaper strip, readers didn't remember the clues he planted weeks or months later when the story actually wrapped up. so he started just making it up as he went along.

There was a tie-in comic that expanded on the film very well- the art was sub-par (a horrible rush job by Kyle Baker, a good artist but wrong for this), but the script fleshed things out by adding two issues of prologue inspired by old Gould stories. It was written by John Francis Moore, who was Howard Chaykin's…

You know, I think there WAS a point in the 1980s where he felt that way. He spent several years in developement hell on a couple of film projects… and I think he came out of that a little bitter- but eventually, even MORE appreciative of the gig he has.
It's like the SOUTH PARK guys finally realised the power of doing…

Actually re-read any Bloom County lately? The years have NOT been kind.
  (And I say that as a big fan back in the day.)

I guarantee you, Trudeau is more in touch with things than anybody who posts snark on a website's comment section.
  Of course, you might know that if you weren't trying so hard to be The Comics Curmedgeon.
