yeah, making the Jedi Order front and center in the prequels was a wrong story-point. (at this point, i know there's a lot of arm-chair quarter-backing with the prequels, but we can't help it, i guess. the prequels' stories were just broken and poor.)

i guess after playing Gandalf, all other wizarding roles are like leftovers.

i've been watching Murdoch Mysteries on and off over the years. the turn-of-the-century setting just kinda speaks to me i guess. (though they do get a bit Forrest Gump-y with guest characters. "…and he met THAT famous person! then he met THAT famous person"). also, every time Murdoch cycles to the crime scene/ to…

good a time as any to watch that Ashely Judd movie.

i liked the double fake-out. i thought it was Cavanaugh too coz of the white hand in the photo and bought that it could be the captain when Liv found the original photo in car.

what makes it even better is he is more specifically the books guy rather than the series.

it has to Bats' "post-apocalyptic vision of nightmarish dark-Supermanian future" (or PAVNDSF, for short) coz of the loyal troopers thing. coz you know that's the first thing a dark-Batman would do: create a bunch of soldiers loyal to him.

yeah a Wild West Batman would be pretty awesome! although the Play-Arts Kai figure kinda looks like ass. the hat is pushing it.

taking about copyright infringement suits, the dumbest one i've heard involving Batman is the one where DC/Warner sues Valencia Football Club just coz they have a bat on the club crest. which brings me to this:-

David Mitchell, then Sandi Toksvig (is that how you spell it?)

if Minority Report can get a TV series after all these years, why not Unbreakable?

i still don;t get the water thing. Bruce Willis' and Sam Jackson's characters "react" weirdly to water?

on the matter of M. Night cameos in his films, his drug dealer in Unbreakable? pretty good cover… no one's gonna believe that a dweeby Indian guy is dealing, you have to be some sort of superhero to sniff him out.

the mom in Iron Giant?

Mike Colter would make a fine Terminator.

now i'm just picturing a comedic version of that Bruce Willis/Samuel L. Jackson/ M. Night Shymalan movie.

so, Clarke Peters in John Wick? after leaving the force, he decided to freelance?

i didn't know that. that would have been cool!

i read somewhere that they were actually figuring on where to place the plane stunt and then decided to just burn it pre-credits. which i think is kinda gangsta of Cruise. "yeah, we had to do that stunt 8 times, but fuck it. just roll it before the titles."
