Ultimate Thor had a goatee and a slight costume redesign, but otherwise he wasn't that different from the regular 616 version. Ultimate Cap was a big blond guy who looked nothing like Chris Evans (more like a young Dolph Lundgren with a bad haircut).

I don't see Captain America when I look at Chris Evans. Anyway, carry on.

I know the feeling. I shouldn't speak ill of the dead, but my dad spent a lot of his time talking about how much his childhood sucked, how much he hated being in the Army (stateside) during 'Nam or acting bitter because his kids had it better than he did. It turned me into a total mama's boy because at least my mom

Now if I could just get Trump to say he hates my fantasy novel "Crosses and Runes"…

Conservative Christian Fox News addicts are beyond simple things like logic and connections that would make sense to people who don't get their "news" from Greg Gutfeld rants.

I'm still trying to figure out why the humans worshiped Greek gods.

The "All Along the Watchtower" thing really pissed me off and I pretty much stopped watching after Colonel Tigh and the other people started quoting it to each other in that one scene. So when I saw the finale because I needed to know how it ended, pretty much everything about it annoyed me. Playing an air piano

Apparently God influenced that casting decision as a sign for the faithful.

Indeed. And I got to listen to allegedly sane people talk about how that was proof that Obama was the antichrist for the rest of his time in office.

Thanks to old AV Club articles, I know that there are a whole bunch of alternate takes featuring Kate McKinnon ad libs that range from sucky to funnier than stuff that made it in. The money spent shooting all that footage probably took years off Aykroyd's life.

The one where she is Australian for no good reason?

I got curious and checked some stuff on IMDB. Sandra Kerns was only in 38 of the 104 episodes they made with the new family. She did appear in a movie in 1989, but that doesn't really explain why she was hardly ever around or why she wasn't in more episodes in the last season.

I basically only like him in the first Transporter and The Bank Job, so I kind of get what you're saying.

Is that a Meat Loaf lyric?

That first episode with the new family was so weird. "Sorry, Charles. We never got around to telling you we sold the house and you'll never see us again. But the new family moving in needs a live-in nanny, so if you want the job you don't have to move. How does that sound?"

Exactly.

IIRC that was an Epiphone SG.

Radio shack was originally a nautical term for the room where they kept all the communication gear on a ship. So, the term is associated with the U.S. Navy. It can also describe the room where a ham radio enthusiast keeps all his gear. Since the founders were trying to appeal to sailors and ham radio operators,

I found a version hosted by Elvira, Mistress of the Dark on Amazon Prime that is even worse than the regular version because they added in some Pop Up Video-type stuff (bad jokes and snarky comments allegedly written by Elvira) and occasionally she shows up during a scene doing bad physical comedy or something. So,

I hate everything about Swift's music so I should be on Team Katy because at least the three songs I know don't make me want to rupture my eardrums to make the torture stop. But then Perry seems like a terrible person in general—to the point that she made Russell Brand look much better by comparison in that
