Scott Pilgrim should not have been adapted into a different medium the first time.

Comic Book Sold Based On Nostalgia For Event That Pre-Dates Buyer's Birth

Yeah, let's halt this obscure metaphor in its tracks so we make it always mean what it meant recently.

The easiest way to explain "Millennials" is, I was considered part of the "baby boomerang", then "Generation Y", then a "Millennial", then "Millennial" came quickly to mean a demographic younger than me, leaving me unexplained by a catchy marketing term and officially dead.

H.P. Lovecraft, I've read a lot of his stuff, and he's interesting for his time, but he's no great shakes as a writer. Around him sprung up a fan fiction community that at one point included Robert Howard, who thought up Conan the Barbarian. The result of this community was to keep Lovecraft's ideas alive through

Batman's first appearance is cover-dated 1939, as it happens.

World of Warcraft is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game released in 2004 by Blizzard Entertainment.

Funny how Batman reps a symbol on his chest that's meant to invoke fear of a flying predator and that's how fascist movements represent themselves. Also the United States government, by sheer coincidence I'm sure.

Oh my god no. "Don't get in bed with me," says this.

I couldn't believe how bad the theater trailer was for this movie. This review still makes the movie sound better than that trailer.

The HARDAC copies of Batman's friends climbing up the walls like spiders with their heads rotating 360°. Or that HARDAC copy that thinks it's Bruce Wayne and walks into Wayne Mansion with a giant hole in itself, begging Alfred to "help me".

Yeah, I missed that because I thought "future teenage Spider-Man" was a dumb gimmick for Batman when I was a kid & I had gotten sick of extreme laser versions of everything, but I ended up watching watching some of it when I was weeded in college, and it turns out it's pretty much just a few extra seasons of Batman:

That cartoon seems fun but tends toward the unwatchable side for anyone over eight.

A lot of people don't remember the show.

I think the only reason that Superman worked at all as a character on that show is that they selectively dialed back his super-powers to Golden Age levels when necessary.

You're gonna give that speech holding the Infinity Gauntlet and you're gonna believe every word you say. You're gonna do it because you're Thanos, and that's what you do. Just like Iron Man does what he does, and Black Widow, and the guy who throws the shield. You're gonna do it because the picture has worth, and you
