Justin Long is the sort of guy who's good when he isn't in the lead, because he's got the underrated comedic ability to get out of the way.

Hey, I can't help it if gay sex is more available at freeway rest stops. I'm just responding to market forces.

I'm seeing double, 4 awesome jokes, etc.

Fair points all.

The only gay dude I'M marryin' is a dumb broad with a big veiny rack!

I wouldn't deny the reality of your examples, but I'd add some caveats to them.

I dunno, I definitely think there's an argument to be made that masculinity serves (or maybe served) a legit function in the uncivilized world. If you're talking about life in a modern society, then yeah, the traditional alpha masculinity thing does more damage than good. But if you're talking about a state of…

You need to learn to love to learn!

It's not that weird. The first movie just introduced a bunch of character traits, but didn't necessarily kick a dead horse with them (let's call these elements of the movie 'memes', since that's basically what we're talking about). First movie makes some money, builds some steam, gets a core audience that latches…

First movie is still good fun, with lots of good bits. Second movie, I'm afraid to revisit.

I think it's only 'Mysterious' if you put a little cape on your hand, and maybe keep a fog machine going.

I've decided to love the remake in order to piss off my best friend, for whom Big Trouble is a sacred relic.

I can agree with your latter statement, vis a vis Routh not getting to explore and expand on the character. Bryan Singer has never really made superhero movies that fit into the standard mold, so while I understand and appreciate what he was doing with Returns (making a more elegant movie from a more civilized age),…

I'm a little more charitable. He was part of the best scene in Scott Pilgrim, and has made bank being a ridiculously good-looking jerk. If I had the opportunity to live that life? Not even a question, homes.

Someone call the internet police.

Hey, I love Returns and respect the hell out of what Routh has gone on to do, but his Clark is ultimately just too much of a blank slate. Cain gave the character a sense of personality that was distinct form the Donner films.

How can you hate our greatest living Superman!?

Haven't been able to read it yet, but ooh am I twitching for it.

I stumbled on Leviathan Wakes in a Canadian bookstore about two months ago and bought it on the basis that the cover was cool, and it was thick.

Turns out it was just a zoning issue all along!
