This was the first episode of this show I ever saw and I liked it a lot. Still not as good as Rashida Jones's version of "Police Squad!", though.

In any case, moving this story from the 1960s requires rent control.

I don't know if that's the case, but that's still pretty different from naming the movie "Spider-Man: Go See Our Competitor's Movies".

This thing is not that thing?

…baseball is…less fascinating

Because she's 51 years old and this Spider-Man is a kid?

He's a photographer in Brooklyn.

It seems like the natural course to take but they're likely worried about people thinking it's part of the under-performing "Amazing" movies. Making it sound like a cruddy graphic novel with a colon in the title doesn't make much more sense, though.

That would be tough to sneak past the C-suite at Sony. There are probably enough powerful people at Sony already who are unhappy at their movie rights being used to promote Disney's more successful franchise.

The West is a sideshow in this in the sense that they armed ISIS to try to overthrow Assad. So, more like the ringmaster.

The scariest thing in the world would be… if all the air in the world… turned into wood!

This article answered the question I had when I saw the trailer to this movie, which was, "Am I supposed to recognize this as the sequel to something?" And I could have found that out as soon as I turned my phone back on, but I didn't.

But what does it take for something to become part of the "real" Batman? It has to be entertaining and memorable to general audiences, that's it. The fans will follow.

IMO you are actually cool for doing that.

It's gonna be absolute death if Time Warner starts listening to the fans and bringing them in to "help". Their problem isn't that they aren't indulging a small and vocal part of their audience, it's that the people they've attached to their projects don't make good movies. (And even that's not much of a problem to…

Yes, in general, but I think it might be nifty if they adapted the original Mad Monk story where Batman first uses a gun (I think). That's not a great story by itself but Batman fighting vampires is perfect for the way movies are marketed today, it frees the writers from the no guns/no killing/etc. fan rules, and…

Just call it Spider-Man, geez. It's not like it will make people confuse it with a movie that Sony doesn't own already, or a movie that no one liked.

Even goofier are the comments about how Batman movies should be "faithful" to the "real" Batman.

Ever since that thing where he dubbed over HAL in "2001: A Space Odyssey" and this Web site came in its pants, I've given up on the idea that just hearing H. Jon Benjamin's voice talking about random shit is at all funny or entertaining.
