Clearly, this is objective proof of Dr. Emmet Brown's thesis that, in the future, things will be heavier.

Oh, dang, that was really something special! *sniff*

Cool! (Yes, I am an American who has heard of and even read Asterix.) Now someone should do a study on the effects of all those bricks Ignatz threw at Krazy Kat's head.

I think another pertinent question is, when does a spoiler stop being a spoiler? What's a reasonable "statute of limitations" on discussing an ending or plot twist? After all, any work of fiction is always going to be new to someone. Heck, I still remember the considerable flak good ol' Charlie Schultz got when he…

Hadn't even thought about it until I read this thread, but mine seems to have disappeared completely, I can't even find it anymore!

Goes great with Glagnar's Human Rinds, though!

Got it. You know, I can't even think about Russell Crowe anymore without remembering that "South Park" episode where he has the TV show that's basically just him boating around the world just to kick the crap out of people.

Yeah, who needs an octopus lamp to illuminate your soul when you've got a birdhouse in it?

Yeah, I probably should've explained that by "interesting" I meant, "Oh, hell, no!!"

Russell Crowe as Jor-El? That's... interesting.

Everything needs more Zoidberg.

Figured as much.

Electra—she had definite daddy issues.

To be honest, there are only three things I remember about it: the Gibson cameo (which was actually pretty cool), Jim Belushi, and that damn rhinoceros. It just disappointed me (especially since I'd just finished reading Neuromancer).

If someone hadn't posted it already I was going to—I figured Kolchak would be one of the first ones mentioned!

@Captain_Tripps: Granted, but I wasn't talking about Nosferatu or the creepy vampires of, for example, 30 Days of Night. I meant the ones who look just like everyone else until they're ready to bite, whereupon they turn into mutant moray eels. It just reeks of, "Look at my kewl FX, Ma!!"

You know what always bugged me, even as a kid? Exactly what was so special about yellow dwarf sunlight as opposed to (presumably) the red giant variety? Do Kryptonian cells become living solar batteries only at a specific wavelength of light? If this was ever addressed in the comics I missed it, and I would love to…

Just curious: anyone else see the name "Wang Kang" and immediately imagine a very naughty Avengers time-travel adventure?

Wait, wait, Brad Bird's directing and Simon Pegg's in it?? I—I may have to care about this...

Point well taken. The iconic images of Superman are all physical things like lifting cars, breaking chains and smashing through walls. (Well, and flying, of course.) I thought Byrne's take was interesting for wrapping everything up in a neat ball, but you're right, Supes is too much the archetypical "strong guy" for…
