    Yeah, maybe, and I’m not trying to say it’s wrong to like the film (or book.)

    Rita Hayworth in "Gilda" would like a word with you. 

    I never understood the affection for The Name of the Rose. He’s fine in it, I guess, but it’s a dull film and insufferable book.

    Ah, my apologies if I missed that (though my assessment still stands) 

    That’s a low bar. Beyond “holy shit, that was Julie Andrews??” there was nothing crazy about Aquaman.

    I have as much animosity towards McFarland as anyone who wasn’t directly conned by him could/should, but jesus christ... solitary confinement? Can’t a judge just issue some kind of injunction against him giving interviews that could be used for profitable enterprises?

    Moore probably wrote fewer than 100 total pages for the DC superhero universe, and Johns is determined to strip-mine those stories down to their bones, and always in the least-interesting way possible. 

    Dennis Quato

    I'd watch the shit out of that Avatar 3

    Avatar is the favorite sci-fi film for people whose favorite drama is Forrest Gump. 

    I dunno, there’s tons of good stuff in those last few episodes, and I love the even darker tone it had (they must’ve known it was the end.) But yeah, they don’t really "sing" the same way those first episodes did. 

    It got a DVD release maybe a decade (or more) ago, but they must have stopped after printing about twelve copies. 

    Now playing

    Sounds (and even looks) like a spiritual cousin of “Action!” the show about Hollywood that should have been on HBO instead of Fox. (it’s also the reason whenever anykne shits on Jay Mohr, some part of me goes, “yeah, but he was perfect on this one show...”)

    I wouldn’t say I can’t stand it, but I don’t see what the big deal is.

    Or the Miller/Romita Jr Daredevil miniseries “Man Without Fear," in which Matt Murdoch is fresh out of law school, young and inexperienced. 

    On its own, if you just stumbled across it on YouTube or something, it’s corny and exceedingly earnest.

    The Future always had a wildly defiant ”buckle-up” tone, but I played it a lot shortly after the 2016 election, and it's since gained a strain of true dread. 

    Because Johns is a fucking hack. His entire career is basically two things: this sort of “what if what you know about this character is actually... the opposite!?" and" what throwaway line from an Alan Moore comic can I turn into a year-long event?"

    Didn’t they make a Snickers commercial out of this idea?

    Ha, "if"
