Sitting on the passenger seat of a pizza delivery driver will give the box that special zing of pot smoke and stale farts!

It's raining men!

I'd rather see John Krasinski play Goldenface in a Michael Scott-produced Amazon series

I'm definitely fed up with dark, dark, dark all the time (it's basically why I couldn't make it through Jessica Jones). But at the same time, I'm unable to visualize what a very optimistic, inspiration Superman story — one that I would respond to — would even look like. This probably sounds terrible, but when I think…

Hmm…I obviously can't know what my outlook would have been if I'd been around in 1938. It's possible I would have felt just as doomed as I do today. The threats we're facing today seem insurmountable to me.

Well, I'm not against positive stories in general…for instance, I like the optimistic vision of Star Trek. But then, that's a story set in the future, so it speaks to my hope that things could change for the better at some point. Whereas Superman movies, being set in the present day, tend to just remind me of how…

Well tbh if I were around in those days, I'd be kind of depressed by Superman then, too!

That's what I mean…it's hard to feel uplifted by a Superman movie with the awareness that Superman is a fictional character but Lex Luthor is all too real.

Personally…I'm not sure I could resonate with a positive, optimistic Superman movie.

Saving the world from Solomon Grundy…

That's something I've always found fascinating about the character: in order to maintain his…

Bustiers for some, pre-modern sexual repression for others!

Tangentially, the day they stopped including the little plastic toys in boxes of Botan rice candy is when my joie de vivre began to shrivel and die.

Or they could just wait a few months until the Trump administration takes office, and they can make it a reality series!

I don't like the idea of this movie and would prefer the project die a quiet death. But on behalf of Alzheimer's sufferers, not the Reagan family.

Bitter snark aside, I don't think Reagan's [surviving] family should be held morally accountable for his reprehensible inaction on the AIDS epidemic. (Nancy has my eternal contempt for ignoring a dying Rock Hudson's plea for help.) However, I can't help but feel annoyed at their self-righteousness regarding…
