Add LMD Agent Coulson to that once distinguished but suddenly rapidly growing list!

I don’t know about the love triangle but they’re already doing the old Arrowverse chestnut of the object of our hero’s affection being already attached. (Flash, Arrow, and Batwoman come to mind.) Which of course will be null and void by the close of the 1st season most likely. Possibly by Jordan accidentally causing,…

Yes! This! He’s also continuously praised musicals and even directed one (a bizarre almost existential one, but still). And musicals at the time were never considered high art! They were always basically just blockbuster fluff. But again, because HE loves them and saw them when he was young, those are different? Yeah,…

Thank you! When I saw that scene in the theater, opening night (as in Thursday preview, not Friday), the whole room went pin-drop silent. Excepting a few small gasps. I can count on one hand the amount of movies I’ve seen that inspired THAT reaction. It was only after when detractors started retroactively claiming how…

I kind of have a feeling that this was how the original season finale was supposed to be. Before COVID put an early stop to things and Ruby took off. Like maybe that was going to be the real cliffhanger. Just a gut feeling really.

Goldeneye and The World is Not Enough. He plays Bond's Russian frenemy.

I think Lawrence Kasdan's script had a lot to do with that too. Certainly in the character relations and the romance angle at least.

Exactly! I call this Dirty Dancing Syndrome! (Cause you KNOW that's what happened after that movie!)

Anybody else feel like this movie feels more like the era it was shot in more than the era it takes place in. (Or maybe early 70s?) The clothes, the music arrangements, the whole vibe. I always have to remind myself that it takes place 10 years before and not, say, 5. (Though I suppose could work just as well too.)…

Real rich of him to talk about all the characters being stolen when he wrote a whole series based exclusively on other writers’ old characters from literature. Not to mention his weird little “well-known young female characters" porn books.

Caroline’s “once a month YouTube watch” is the Time of My Life sequence. Mine is the Statue of Liberty opening to the animated G.I. Joe movie. Our beloved 1987 chestnuts are obviously very different! 😄

I actually think both Millie and Cindy were perfectly cast. Millie always struck me as the girl who seemed awkward and not particularly self-confident who you would run across 5 or 6 years after high school and be like “Whoa! You look amazing!” (And I knew a ton of those in my circle.) Cindy I thought was attractive…

Rumours. That oh so quiet running guitar that flat out jumps into the beat of Second Hand News is the perfect jolt into that album’s arguably bounciest track. (Pun definitely intended!)

One of the things I love about Mad Dog and Glory is that if you told me, blind going in, that there was a movie about a poor schlub who saves a gangster’s life, causing said gangster to lend the schlub his girlfriend and then get jealous that they’re growing too close, and that it stars Robert De Niro and Bill Murray,…

Anybody else get a serious Smallville vibe from that cold open? The football game. The coach who runs into trouble. I swear 90% of that show’s 1st couple seasons had a similar beginning!

Ok, can I just point out how NO window in television or movies ever has screens? This has always been one of those silly Hollywood conventions but it was especially egregious in this episode. Particularly when Yolanda climbed up the hospital and just walked in through the window? Even if a hospital DID keep its…

Btw, there was an episode of Happy Days where a guy LITERALLY jumped over a shark, and it was awesome!

Excellent point about superhero movies, even bad ones, no longer being so bad they stick out. What was the last truly atrocious big-budget superhero movie? (As opposed to just mediocre or generically bad.)Hmm. I’m going with The Spirit! That thing was unwatchable.

Every straight young male from the 80s had a thing for Cheetara. But, to be fair, she looked less like a cat woman and more like a cool punk chick with makeup and a form-fitting leotard. (Damn. Scarlett. Firestar. Teela. 80s were all ABOUT those form-fitting leotards, weren’t they?)
