But did we really ignore Trump, though? I don't think a single day of 2016 went by which didn't feature at least one news-story on every major outlet. The thing about ignoring something to make it go away is to actually ignore it and we definitely didn't do that for any of the various hate groups that have sprung up

I'm gonna have to go with Twin Peaks, it's basically the Tilted Kilt uniform sans the little half-sweater.

I'm fairly certain that the actress who plays Bobby could do a passable Luanne.

Wishing no disrespect to the man, who I find to be a decent actor and just a generally nice guy, I'm fairly certain you could tell Brian O'Hallaran to dance like a chicken and pitch a handful of quarters at him and he would comply.

Ha ha, that's ridiculous, everyone knows that lesbians hail from Greek island of Lesbos.

Oh yeah: also Swamp Thing, Animal Man, and Red Lanterns. In fairness I read none of the major DC superhero books at the time.

No but they did all have ending chapters, though All-Star Western was the only one that got to take its time and end on its own term. And yeah, the writers who followed Cliff Chiang wrote the worst Wonder Woman series since the dumb JMS series from the '00s when she got that outfit that made her look like a suburban

Wonder Woman, All-Star Western, Demon Knights, Gotham by Midnight and Gotham Academy. Unsurprisingly only two of those books are still being published and only one of them hasn't been rebooted.

That version of John Constantine is the only one I'll accept as canon ever again.

It was super violent, Jack was just always lucky in finding that any being he chopped up was secretly a robot. Though replacing blood with oil barely concealed how absurdly violent it was as this clip shows https://www.youtube.com/wat….

Dust. Wind. Dude.

I hear a lot of hate for the third but it's the closest to a legitimate movie. It's kind of a prototype for The Walking Dead that unfortunately turns into a Resident Evil movie in the third act. But the opening, the scene with the crows, and the big Law Vegas scene are all great.

Oh, please go into the Stygian knot of Ju-On/The Grudge, I've been trying to unwind that one for forever.

If nothing else Freddy vs. Jason somehow makes both series not only seem like a cohesive mythology in and of themselves but as a combined mythology. They make Freddy and Jason feel like characters who have had actual though put into them and then have them clash in entertaining ways.

Resident Evil - Kinda creepy and interesting, but horribly wrongheaded and dumb
Apocalypse - Stupid, dull, disorienting, tonally off
Extinction - Almost legitimately good, but mired in trying to remain in continuity with the last 2
Afterlife - Fully self-aware but not goofy, embraces its flaws to become entertaining gold

I disagree with you only because the second movie is so irredeemably terrible, but otherwise I think you're spot on, unless you consider Resident Evil's few gasps of brilliance to be an even deeper condemnation of all its worse qualities.

Ehh, it was even more blatant and lazy than most kids movies. Like, even other Illumination Entertainment films are more challenging than this one though the "everything goes wrong" moment at the end of the second act was a lot more devastating than I expected. There are some good jokes, the voice cast is pretty

It was also a barrage of lazy song covers, overdone uplifting schmaltz, and leans heavily on a mediocre running gag where an old lady's glass eye keeps falling out. It was a much better movie than I was expecting, but let's not get carried away here.

That's gonna be pretty hard considering they used most of the marquee annoying songs. They're gonna have to dust off some 90s bubblegum hits to really reach that level of obnoxiousness twice.

I liked Last Man Standing and Undisputed is an underrated gem. Also I'm not comfortable blaming any part of Supernova on him, especially not the finished product. Bullet in the Head was no great film but I'm willing to let a director be a little rusty after being out of the business for over a decade. It wasn't
