Hooray! Someone on side with me about Robin Hood: Men in Tights! I am always amazed how many people say that not only didn't they think it was terrible, but they actually *liked* it. I'm guessing they probably saw it when they were younger (I'm 43 and I was in college when it came out - 12 year old me probably would…

Holy christ. Thread over. You win. Unless someone somehow saw Manos: Hands of Fate in the theatre.

Oh yeah? I saw it 3 times because I couldn't accept that it was terrible. It all came crashing down on me about halfway through the 3rd watching (though I stuck around to see the lightsaber battle, which I still legitimately enjoy as a cool looking action setpiece in its own right). Also II was worse.

My wife cried like a baby when Mater got to ride in the helicopter.

Ooh, League is a good one. There does seem to be a pattern of things for which you might have had expectations (I had read the comic, and even absent that the *idea* certainly sounds cool in a vacuum).

Man, most of the AV Club writers have seen fewer bad movies in the theatre than I would have suspected. Watchmen? Really? I mean, flawed, sure, but the *worst*?

Oh man, I totally did not remember that was Brolin (though to be fair I probably haven't thought of that show in 20+ years).

Yeah, this looks like a distinctly different look and feel from Guardians to me.

/me checks if Brian Blessed is still alive.

I think the ones that go for a distinct tone are the ones that work best. I very much liked Ant Man for this reason, and obviously Guardians kind of pioneered this. I hope it keeps this kind of thunder-domey aesthetic.

So not the point I know, but have you ever tried to read a teleprompter. It does take a fair amount of getting used to. (Source: I was a broadcasting major).

Also, it seems *possible* that Melanie Bird's powers are temperature related, with the fire in the pool (even though we never see her in the room) and Oliver's Cryogenic state. Just a theory of course.

Whatever drugs Jamie Kennedy takes are a hell of a drug.

Yeah, I assumed that she just has a lot of experience communicating with a telepath (since while we never see Oliver use powers we are told that he is "like David"). She also implores David to read Clark's mind, implying that is not something she is capable of.

I kind of reject the premise then. There has never been more good TV available than now. That's not to say there's not bad TV - there's tons of it, but the sheer volume of stuff has certainly raised the amount of good stuff to the point where I literally don't have time to watch all the things I want to see.

(It was a joke). I…just don't think he looks all that much like him. However, looking at that picture of Jamie Kennedy I realize how I for years thought Seth Green was in Scream.

So we're just going to make fun of people for using completely normal conversational devices now?

But she's got grit! And spunk! And plot armor/competence!

He's both in episode one and episode 6 in Clockworks.

I agree with that. I understand why they needed to have a bit more exposition in 7 and 8, but it leaned a little heavily into "telling not showing" in a way that the show had very deftly avoided to that point. I mean, I'd still call it a B+ to the rest of the series A. Also the opening with Clark's rehabilitation was…
