1. Aren't there better things to do in response to this sad news than crap all over a show you clearly don't watch?

Not to distract from this sad news, but Agents of Shield is now one of the top 5-10 shows on TV (granted first couple of seasons were rocky).

Oh, don't know how I could forget the face melting scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark. That was so goddam upsetting to child me.

I saw The Wall when I was like 6 or 7 (an older cousin showed it to me) and the kids falling into the meat grinder definitely made me feel ill (and kind of still does when I think about it), even though I'm sure if I'd first seen it when i was a more appropriate age (like 20 and stoned off my ass) I would have just

I suppose we can add it to all the unpayed off teases the show has had. The gravity guy from season 1 always sticks with me in that regard.

Oh right! I had completely forgotten that.

I thought Nadeer had a speed power? Did he show healing as well? I don't recall that.

Wait, what? The whole point of ward turning evil is that Garret (RIP Bill Paxton) effectively brainwashed him and was *exactly* "pulling his strings".

I'd be perfectly happy if Iain basically takes over Jesse Eisenburg's career. He can pull off the twitchy manic crazy little white guy thing that Eisenburg does, but he can do *so much more*.

I liked them from the beginning (but I seem to have a high tolerance for 'quirk'), but their growths as characters has been astounding. I'd say that goes for Daisy as well (though not to the same heights).

Hmm, I dunno, Murray kind of has a whole "world-weary and wise" thing going on that I don't think works for Trump. Actually who could be cool in such a role is Kevin James.

I suspect that's because when "space, ambience, atmosphere, mood, ambiguity" are *poorly* done, they are absolute death for a movie. Poorly done plot and action is still plot and action, and well, that shit sells (see: well, any number of things, but let's go with Transformers).

Sure – I just think ant man is not the right counter example. If any thing the character has gotten short shrift relative to his importance in the comics.

I was about to defend Jumper, but then I realized I was thinking of Looper…

Your point? Both iterations of ant man are way more fleshed out and interesting than "I'm a bad boy with cajun accent the ladies just can't resist"

Well sure.

It feels like it could be a dumb/funny off-broadway musical.

To the land of sky blue waters?

Hey-o!

Pretty sure I saw Kyle McLaughlin before season 4, and every moment he was on screen was eminently worth watching…
