Oh, God, now I can't breathe…

I think so.

The twist is that the whole movie takes place in the same universe as the Twilight Zone's "Eye of the Beholder" episode.

Plus it's Tarantino, so it's likely that all happened in a completely different chronology anyway.

And gets every Jeopardy answer wrong.

I coud be reading this wrong, but I think he's saying it's the best of the shitty teen comedies.

Pfft. Screw the Victory End, everyone knows the UFO Endings are the best endings.

You know what? Yeah.
And come on, I feel like you have to give credit to any movie that decides to copy the more outré aspects of Annie Hall (the sequence where Freddie Prinze Jr.'s girlfriend literally walks him through the Miami party where she met the Real World star she's dumping him for).

It does? I'll have to re-watch it, see if I pick it up this time.

I know! They even give him a big climactic chase scene and everything! That's commitment to your misdirection.

Huh… I'm genuinely surprised by that. Then again, DC was actually doing pretty well until they decided to reboot the universe. (A phrase I will never get tired of)

I hadn't planned on reading past Brubaker's exit, but thanks for confirming my suspicions.

That's funny. Any idea what issue (of what comic) that's in?

They released Volume 1 (which contains Selina's Big Score, the "Trail of the Catwoman" backups, as well as Brubaker's first arc of Brubaker's run) in January of last year.

@avclub-79f87276253209015fd9d4755ecee399:disqus If I'm reading this trade correctly, it looks like the "Trail of the Catwoman" backups in Detective Comics came after Selina's Big Score as a way to transition Selina from that standalone graphic novel into her (then) newly relaunched solo title.

I didn't realize he went back that far. So… I guess not? I don't have a very good grasp on comics history.

I'd give the edge to working for The Riddler, if only because I imagine with the Penguin you have a guy who's constantly trying to prove that he's better than everyone else, which pretty much guarantees you'll wind up in a toxic work environment.

I love Selina's Big Score, and the fact that it's basically a Parker novel from before Darwyn Cook actually started adapting Parker novels into comics form. I'd love to see that as a movie, animated or live action.

Man, some of those hinted at future plot lines… I'd really like to see them play out, because some of them sound a little iffy on paper, but I have a feeling Fuller would have made them work somehow.
