I can’t wait for his 10 essays on the films of Godfrey Ho that are clearly each just paragraphs from the same 3 articles and a piece of erotic fan fiction mixed together in a random order.

Yeah, it makes perfect sense as a comic book, and as movie parody of comic books (ignoring the weird direction), it just seems a little strange in the context of the movies at the time. It’s sort of like if you adapted Watchmen at a time when every superhero movie was what if superheroes but gritty and realistic.

I assume the theory is that you don’t need to spend much on marketing stuff that isn’t going to bring in new subscribers, because the algorithm recommending them to you when you open Netflix is going to be way more effective at getting you to watch. Unfortunately, this makes it impossible to find/know about new stuff…

Donkey Kong Jr. had to come from somewhere

In retrospect, it is so bizarre that Mystery Men came out in 1999, when the sum total of the genre it was parodying was basically batman 3 and 4 (a style of movie which would then almost completely disappear until we were well into the mcu)

That’s also the climax of Donkey Kong.

*Posts “look you just can’t legislate evil” on like 50 Facebook posts, while smugly ignoring that many laws are doing exactly this*

The MCUs asthetic has very consciously been “these feel like superhero comics” (as opposed to the early x-men movies for instance). They aren’t necessarily very good comics, but even lesser entries like the first two Thors feel like comic books.

Only if he has a cute kid and a lazy sibling who help him set the federal funds rate every couple of weeks. Maybe the board could meet at a wacky bar where his goofy Australian friend works.

#BringBackBenAndKate

By setting a strict reservation policy like this, you are guaranteeing you are going to take money from people who end up having bad experiences. I don’t think the restaurant needs to refund people’s money if its clearly stated on their website, but they also should expect (and maybe deserve) some bad reviews. 

Amazon’s new strategy of spending unreal amounts of money rebooting niche properties (that have already existed as TV shows/movies) seems odd.

Excited for the return of that show where the rock finds the next great American hero by making people run obstacle courses and then get voted on by the audience for some reason

I generally think Bendis’s spider-man stuff is fine-good. But yeah, this stuff all felt so half-baked. I never felt like I really understood why anyone was fighting in 2-Spiders-2-men, or why Bendis thought that this was going to be a satisfying reveal.

I watched a lot of that pokemon cartoon as a child, and I can safely say that Pikachu is neither kind nor polite.

New52 superman literally never existed now (he was somehow always old superman because of Watchmen or something), which makes a bunch of characters back stories very confusing.

Why does the CW keep on ordering pilots for shows that aren’t based on comic books. They must know that even if they pick these up they are going to have to push these off the schedule to make room for like “Captain Atom (this is a different guy from the Iron man guy from Arrow),” “Etrigan: the Rapping Demon” and “Ace…

TLJ was the highest grossing movie of 2017, although who knows what that means relative to Disney’s expectations.

Well syfy gave 12 monkeys a 4th season order after they decided to burn off season 3, so who knows what their renewal decisions are based on.

Will he live in a small town fully of quirky people who have a bunch of really melodramatic problems. Is Berlanti finally returning to his roots and bringing us more shows like “Everwood” and “Dead Guy and Kid President”? (On paper I guess Riverdale is this, but it sure doesn’t feel like it)
