Granted I also thought Tintin worked for the same reason (but on the other side of the coin) - the world was cartoonish and different enough that I didn’t feel I was comparing it to reality.

It’s funny you say that - I felt the complete opposite. After just a few seconds I found I got over the weirdness of the CGI, and then I was totally fine. I think one of the keys in overcoming the uncanny valley is allowing the viewer to not have to subconsciously compare reality to what’s on the screen. Here it’s…

“The problem with the new Lion King is that the animals just aren’t expressive enough”

So, there were *two* petty individuals involved in the fight.

I am sure there is a literary or mythological precedent, but when I hear trading sons, I immediately thought of the New Gods.

Pretty strange this thread is shitty to him. Alan Moore is the Orson Welles and Stanley Kubrick of comics. Someone who both absolutely changed everything about the medium, both in popular and artistic scope, and wrote some of the most compelling, interesting, and most popular stories of all time.

“It is intentionally not “literary” because it is something that works only in comic books”

Those aren’t all from his early life. And he treated it respectfully. “Rape-dependant is not how I would characterize it. Also, there was only attempted rape in Watchmen. Kid Miracleman was raped in the orphanage or wherever it was and that was the last draw before letting out the evil doppleganger.

He referenced Millar, not Moore. 

Well, and he was rightly concerned of plagarism, because the end of Watchmen IS a total rip-off of that Outer Limits episode which Moore continues to deny even though it's pretty obvious.

He was the best writer the medium has seen.  

I think you misread Millar for Moore but...

Think you misread his comment.

*shrug*

To me she stole the Justified finale (one of the all-time great tv show finales) as Loretta despite barely having any lines, too. I am a fan. Raylan should be proud of his surrogate daughter, who is as much of a rulebreaker as he is 

She was great in the best season of Justified, and yeah she’s way too good for a Tim Allen sitcom.

Considering Viacom and CBS have been considering a merger, it seems unlikely that they’d license their back catalogue to Netflix.

how about that there seemingly isn’t a single normal impossible mission in the whole goddamn Mission: Impossible series. The series STARTS with the team being taken out. (like they’ve come close a few times but it’s like every installation, similar to having to explain why cellphones don’t work in a horror movie,…

I mean, you’re technically right, but she was a kid in that movie. Lashana Lynch played Maria, Monica’s mom. Your casting could still happen!

Nicolas Cage as Dirk Anger?
