Between her and Jenny McCarthy, I’m beginning to lose faith in the academic component of the Playmate of the Year voting.

Love Iron Man 3. Arguably the first instance of proper directorial flair coming through the MCU and I thought the Mandarin stuff was quite clever. I can see why it’s divisive, but personally it’s one of my favourite entries.

This movie got a lot a crap from the Mandarin twist, but people forget Mandarin always kinda sucked as a character.  He had about one good story (Extremis).

If you want to get really cynical, Tony Stark having significant character development and status quo shakeups in his solo series only for all of it to get completely shat on by some other writer who just wants to make a big dumb crossover event, is actually peak Marvel Comics.

Boy, what a joyous testament to the evergreen memories of our youth this is turning out to be.

It was shaping up to be the Godfather Part II of cartoon basketball sequels.

Well this is definitely the last film I would have thought might be impacted by competing corporate product-placements and endorsements.

Alas, ‘twas not Hellboy’s dick, but a dick on a giant he was fighting. Hellboy wears pants the whole time. 

But neither Neil Marshall nor David Harbour are awful. 

Seems like Marshall looked at Del Toro’s filmography and said “well in one film he has a monster penis so that’s what people want”.

Let us not forget when the hero classically outwits the snobby villain.

Right. It’s a cute take, but it’s not like there weren’t a million other snobs-vs-slobs movies before and after Sandler’s hits. Spoiler: the snobs aren’t the heroes in those movies, either.

That’s not some rhetorical leap, though. Monster movies of the 50s were largely reflecting a climate of nuclear paranoia, among other context-specific anxieties and concerns. That doesn’t mean every filmmaker was consciously driven by this, but it was certainly a background influence that colored the films.

I love how Hulk stops beating Loki into the floor for a minute to look at him, determine whether or not he’s dead, and then continues to beat him into the floor.

The thing I remember is, our audience didn’t even hear the words, “puny god”.  Everyone was so busy laughing at Loki being throttled, it completely drowned out the words!

And then he saves Stark! Then wakes him up by bellowing loud as shit and scaring the hell out of him! MVmotherfuckingP. What a great intro for Hulk and Ruffalo alike.

Funny, Black Widow didn’t seem broken at all in Avengers. First, she’s in complete control while her victims think she’s the one their interrogating. Next she approaches Bruce Banner with nothing but a gun. She gets Loki to spill the beans on his plan. She gets Hawkeye to snap out of his trance by beating the snot out…

You didn’t like the airport battle in Civil War?  That was the equivalent of an entire issue composed of double-page spreads.

It is incredible how cool, charming and handsome Travolta looked when he was younger. Seeing him now is like watching an alien impersonating a human being, the kind of aliens the regular scientologist might believe in. I don’t know exactly when that transformation happened, in Pulp Fiction he was still cool. His…

Tell me less.
