Still better than Rex Reed. "The whole episode stunk even though I only watched part of the first segment."

I had him for a class once. I'm not surprised his Simpsons posts displayed the same lack of humor he showed in class.

Well to be fair, it's not like Neeson didn't know that wouldn't be the case going into the film.

It's a good point in that there were comic book options available, perhaps, but in the end, I have no issue with there not always being another way. I think the fact that it clearly troubles and haunts him to do it is enough.

Well he was certainly well-intentioned - I think it was more about trying to preserve the secret for as long as possible.

I'm genuinely curious - do you mean the way it was staged, the way that they set up the dilemma, the way it all went down, all of the above, or something I missed?

Ok I think you  may be taking your Man of Steel hate over the top.

That's an interesting leap of logic.

As always, Mann knocked it out of the park with his commentary track on this film. 

He doesn't - nobody at Wharton had ever heard of him.

hi-ooooo

in the immortal words of jed bartlett, give me the next 10 words

He did - I remember being slightly confused by why they let the sound linger in that scene for a split second just to hear the shower start up.

My favorite version of that very sound piece of advice (which my dad also gave me): Never dip your pen in the company ink.

Look, in the end, most ads aren't trying to get you to buy anything, and it's not about buying stuff you don't need.

the seaward was apparently good and ready to go home

The original cut was NC-17, but they put together a "softer" (hehe) cut to get it down to an R for general release.

I always wonder what Hurwitz actually writes in the script for GOB's stammering. Does he literally write out the way it should go, or just put in a few words and says GOB needs to stammer through them?

And that's the line they should've used in The Incredibles

I think it served its purpose in the first season and it still being around is just a nice little callback. It was an instrument for strife between Trudy and Pete that ended up with him not having the power at home he must've thought he had. I thought it tied the bow on the gun fairly nicely.
