If Dark Knight Returns was a gay porn manga, that would be the greatest book in the history of the world. 

Surely Wayne/Gordon is the finest of all Batman slash pairings.

But look at her options.  The lady is truly faced with a sophie's choice of douchebaggery in that film.  If I were her I would just stick my head in an oven.

Does "you fucking whore" count as a "neg"?

Welcome to Chang's Sex Cave!  We suggest you start with the wonton soup, followed by some light bondage.

I think it's because Meg Ryan had such a ditzy persona - like a scatterbrained little-girl style of acting.  That shit just looks stupid coming from an older woman.  I think the actresses with the most staying power are the ones with a bit more dignity.  Also, she kept doing crap romcoms like "Kate and Leopold". 

Poor Bourne, that's the only way he knows to get a date.

As long as he just borrowed her it's cool.  It's only when people start getting encircled that I take issue.

Also, the art up there makes it look like he's about to take a big, crazy bite out of her ass.

It was filmed in my hometown, so my friends and I were super excited to see it.  We were much less excited by about half an hour into the movie.

Thanks, but I'm just going to keep pretending hentai doesn't exist, if that's okay.

I knew this would be a good article as soon as I saw the terrible "7 Brides for 7 Brothers" artwork.  Haha, kidnapping is so jolly!  I have to take issue with their aliterative captions though - some of those are just weak.  "Dan Decoyed Liza"? No, try again.  How about "Dan Degraded Liza"?  That works better.
Seriously

Overboard is completely horrifying.  For some reason it seemed to play on TV on a constant loop when I was growing up - even as a child I thought it was completely fucked up.  I remember puzzling over whether Kurt Russel's character was basically a rapist.  Older me's answer: yes, pretty much.

That guy on the Awesome Cone episode was insufferable.  He really thought that letting someone work in his shitty basement was just as good as paying them, and he clearly thought his precious ironic hipster persona was charming as fuck. Don't bother meeting this guy for a peace cone, Hodgman.  You're better than that.

Good point.  Thinking about it from that perspective, I think part of my disliking the book might be personal.  I was raised in a similarly (though less horrible)hardcore Christian family and I strongly rejected that belief system in my teens.  Became an atheist and never looked back.  By contrast, Craig Thompson is

I wish I'd liked Blankets more than I did.  I can appreciate that it's really well drawn - Craig Thompson's obviously a great artist and he does a lot of interesting things with page layouts and montages - but it just didn't do it for me.

I can think of several F words that would count as obscene, so I think it should be called "The Other Other F Word, No Not That One, No Not That One Either".

Wow.  Is there anything I'm less interested in than punk dads desperately trying to assure everyone they're still totally bad ass?  Checking….  Nope. 

I'm so glad I didn't dream that.
