Killabunga has to be one of the fakes. Liefeld could never think of something that fun.

God, I loved those "Supreme" books. For my money, they did the same thing "All Star Superman" did, only better and a decade earlier.

You're probably right. Either way, "banana dick" and "your girl go apeshit" is brilliant

Righteous anger aside, my favorite lyric so far has to be:
"I got a banana dick/
'cause your girl go apeshit when she hit it"

"Focus Tested: The Movie"

They're mostly ad executives, and the rest are lawyers or agents (but not Hollywood agents; they're literary agents, because that's classier.) And every single goddamned one of them needs to learn to spend more time with their kids.

I don't use the word "hero" very often, but you are the greatest hero in American History.

I'm torn on this episode. I just saw it for the first time about ten days after the election, and to say that it struck a nerve is an understatement. So much of what they addressed with Waldo's bland, nondescript, anti-everything (except the voters, of course) feeds right into Trump's playbook (right down to the

The election certainly gives the episode some merit thematically, as it's almost impossible to watch after Nov 8, but it's still not great in its execution. If anything, its poorly thought-out cartoon character being successful is more of a ding on how awful Trump is rather than Trump's success being a retroactive

I will reluctantly diss Hard Target. It wants to be a great John Woo movie SO BAD, and I can mostly get on board with its monumental, self-aware ridiculousness (something it has in common with Road House, btw), but it just doesn't come together overall.

Monique. She was great in Beerfest

It's not literally shot-for-shot, but it's still clearly a film whose prime purpose is to remind the viewer of a previous film:

It's not just the box office dollars, either. For decades, Disney has had a financial stake in ensuring that as many public domain stories as possible are seen as unofficial Disney properties. This ensures that each generation equate "fairy tale" with "Disney," and it keeps a pseudo-legal barrier between said

I didn't get the impression that Felix was being forced to do much, if anything. The other guy may have been acting stupid by agreeing to alter her attributes, but he'd also just recently been threatened by her with a scalpel. So, that was surely on his mind when she started making demands, perhaps even more so than

A fair point, but at least MMOs give you what they're promising

I got a kick out of the issues of Super Dinosaur I ran across a few years ago. Is he still writing that?

There's gotta be some kind of term for Stockholm Syndrome as applied to serialized entertainment. I got out of this show early, but stuck around with many others long after they'd declined considerably in quality (How I Met Your Mother, Homeland, Downton Abbey, etc) not to mention plenty of comic book series

"Roger and Me" is terrific, a genuinely engaging look into the death of a town and what happens to its citizens.

"But Hugh Jackman's Wolverine!"

Roger Ebert's review of "Aliens" is possibly my single favorite review of his. It's not an eloquent love letter, nor is it a fun takedown (both of which he was great at.) It's simply a great example of him approaching a movie on its own terms while also acknowledging his own personality's response to it. It's
