There was a Jet Li movie that turned a variation of this idea into a cheesy but reasonably enjoyable action movie.

I cannot sanction this buffoonery.

My favorite Nicole Kidman line was when she was asked on the Tonight Show, I think, what was the biggest change in her life since she and Tom Cruise had divorced. “Well,’ she said, not missing a beat, ‘I’m allowed to wear heels again.”

Absolute masterpiece.  A meditation on the theme of childhood terror.  Steampunk before Steampunk was a thing.  Amazing set pieces and real darkness.

Now everybody knows the deal is rotten

Theatre of Blood mostly exists because the Doctor Phibes movies were big hits and it follows their model closely. Tongue in cheek theme murders, stolid heroes working against a melodramatic villain with a beautiful female accessory and a campiness that makes the murders more funny than gruesome.

Seriously, baffled Canadian here, how have you not strung up all your politicians and insurance company executives from lamp posts yet?

This is a horrible, desperately sad situation - but in the alternate universe next door where the cop hesitated a split second longer, they are now facing heat for letting a Black girl get stabbed and doing nothing.

Self publishing and character ownership aren’t panaceas either unfortunately. Dave Sim always assumed that once he was finished his monthly Cerebus series the big trade paperback collections would be his retirement fund. But between publishing trends leaving the ‘phone-books’ behind and his own dedicated work burning…

Fuck these dolts. My ancestry is Norwegian and I enjoy the old myths. But the traditions I revere are a sense of communal common good that led to the best social safety net in the world and a commitment to justice that made the Norwegian resistance during Nazi occupation one of the biggest in Europe.  

At lest she isn’t doing that weird, deliberately take away the cupids bow top lip portion that some people do.

I love mango, but to be fair part of why is that I am a weed smoker. Myrcene is the most dominant terpene in most cannabis and also in mangos. It’s an antinflammatory that zips right across the blood brain barrier. If you eat a mango or drink mango juice about an hour before smoking your digestion will have primed your…

Not only is Sunspot Afro-Brazilian, racism against Afro-Brazilians was a major factor in literally the first scene of his first appearance.

From the article he tweeted out the day before he died, he was anti-science and pro-ignorance till the very end:

I pretty much believed Depp had done the things he was accused of until I listened to the audio of Heard mocking him that nobody would believe that a man was a victim of domestic violence and excoriating him for leaving rooms when she got violent with him. If we accept that men can be victims of domestic abuse and…

This should be put in a museum as a note perfect example of Concern Trolling.

Scrolling down the page and coming to a Root article that is illustrated with a photo of a concerned looking white woman with a cellphone you can pretty much write the whole story in your head.....

I have that same question about every stage of this entire series from publication to film.....
