Who do you see as Stardust the Super Wizard in the crossover film?

Woof. I'd heard about them introducing the new Fury, but that's just a lot of work to go to for not much payoff.

Although it did begin with an awful lot of DCU characters, which is a road this show has chosen not to take. The character development of icons (Clark and Lex) whom we only know as adults is an interesting premise by itself and can sustain attention without cameos. Agents May and Fitz, et al only have themselves to…

"not least Coulson and Fury?" When did Coulson show up in the comics?

Yeah, Astro City (which is fantastic), is written in self-contained arcs that would be much more appropriate for a six-episode British series. You couldn't just drop something like Tarnished Angel in the middle of a 20+ episode season, or change the entire cast every few months. And in my opinion, if you can't do…

It's like, dude, you're running an omelet bar. You're not allowed to just say "We decided not to serve eggs."

So, again, if I just choose not to spend another moment of my life contemplating the art of Sylvester Stallone, let alone taking the time to write a six paragraph essay on it, solely because someone on the internet says "Oh, yeah?" then what do you imagine happens? They suddenly become good? You win an argument…

P.S. People are right, Clark Gregg was quite good tonight. At this point though, I'd rather they just speed things up, make him an LMD and then move on to the question of why someone would program an LMD to be an idealistic anti-authoritarian, thereby setting up the Nick Fury vs. S.H.I.E.L.D. story they probably…

The last few minutes were better than anything I've seen on this show for a while.

Hmm. Suppose I decline? Suppose I point out that no one has actually taken the position that they're any good, they've just said, "you're not allowed to criticize art until you've had a show in St. Petersburg?" Suppose I say that the burden of proof is on the people who think his art is good and that kicking a rich…

"If the painting behind Stallone was a Pollock instead of a Stallone, would that painting be 'good'?"
No.
No, it wouldn't.
Also, the entire, "Only Charlie Trotter (RIP) is allowed to say that the KFC Double Down is gross" line of reasoning is self-refuting.

"…from the conservatives’ core base of tough old stools."
Slow clap.

I thought the Growlers all died in a minivan crash and only came back the one time to help Chris Monsanto learn the meaning of the Blues.

When I read Snow Crash, I briefly thought that I might be witnessing the birth of biopunk, as there's a character in there who skewers cyberpunk tropes by achieving miraculous futuristic results using stone-age technology. AFAIK, no one ever called it "biopunk," though, except me, in my head. Now I have to find…

I haven't tried peanut butter m&m's, but Oompas (thank you, Valery) certainly had a different chocolate recipe than M&M/Mars, and I'd guess a different peanut butter recipe. They're probably close, but not quite the same.

Was it?? I always thought it was based on Goldschlager or whatever that booze was that had scraps of gold leaf floating in it for some insane reason.

A thousand years ago, not long after E.T. introduced Reese's Pieces to the world, there was a candy brand that was actually called Willy Wonka. They made something that was about the size and shape of a peanut M&M, but there was no peanut. Just one hemisphere of chocolate and one hemisphere of peanut butter, in a…

The way you describe "I Want Candy" suddenly puts me in mind of that lollipop song that Serge Gainsbourg did with France Gall, I think, back when she was just a kid. I think it was called "Les Sucettes," but even during the height of my ye-ye period, my French sucked, so that might be wrong.
