They skip Batman entirely and just call up Lucius Fox, who apparently is also in this movie, and have him build whatever they need to retake the White House. Perfect movie.

Is he at least President Harvey Dent?

OK, but specifically targeting civilians to great terror and call attention to yourself and your struggle SHOULD be called terror. Whether it happens in the theater of WWII, if done under those conditions, should be called terrorism. In that particular case it's generally argued that the US was aiming for a military

Ugh, this thing is finally here so it can get cancelled and I can stop seeing those creepy medical kink posters for it on the subway. 

I think we can distinguish things a bit further. There are accidental civilian casualties, or casualties that occur when you aren't really sure who's a civilian or not, and then there are people who specifically seek to kill civilians for the shock value. It puts the terror in terrorism.

"But that is the nature of political violence and if you are wiling to
accept that political violence has any kind of usefulness (as is done
here), you're agreeing to the fact there are circumstances where your
methods will be achieved with the death of innocents."

I watched The Battle of Algiers in a graduate course in Post-Colonial Literature, and the class was very easily swayed by the film and not at all put off by the methods used by the FLN. Not that the French methods were better, which was probably the point we were supposed to take away or whatever, but the discussion

Hookahs actually smell pretty good, if you're sitting next to someone who actually knows how to smoke one. He's smoking and you're not bothered by it like you would be with a cigarette or a cigar. Good fr hookahs. As for how they taste, I can't say, but it's gotta be better than the other smoking options.

Because it was totally made up, and everyone who's lived in it since has been just fine.

Presumably not on the list is Richard Gere's "Red Corner," a movie about the corruption and censorship in the Chinese legal system.

You obviously haven't seen the Dragonball Z movie.

Yvgeny being alive and doing well was a big plus for me. Also apparently without his mask, Jon is ADORABLE.

Wait, people are nude on Broadway all the time. Cynthia Nixon went full frontal like last year. What's the big deal?

Until this moment I did not know Terrence Howard and Cuba Gooding Junior were different people.

I remember being a kid and not understanding this cartoon AT ALL.

There's one issue where he goes to Tibet (which looks like any wooded area of America as conceived by an American comic book artist) and fights an evil lama. It was featured in the "Tibet in Comics" exhibit in the Rubin Museum of Art. It dates way back, I think, to when they were just doing whatever they could throw

They had good Rifftrax.

I want to know what the writing process was for using the Mandarin in a film.
"So if he's Chinese, the Chinese will be offended, right? We can't use Asian markets?"
"Yeah, he won't be Chinese. But he can't be white so - what's the guy who played Gandhi. British?"
"I think he's Indian."
"Great. Tell him not to out in the

At the time I thought that was the most insane thing [Adult Swim] could ever do. How wrong I was.

I thought the ending of Avengers made it pretty clear Stark was dating the Hulk?
