They could save it for the inevitable gritty reboot. "We're trying to make the sharknado more relatable; we want to keep it grounded in reality. What would the world look like if sharknado existed?"

XD I forgot about that! She was pretty embarrassed about it and was contemplating whether to include it on her resume or not. I told her, definitively, unequivocally, yes; at least it gets a reaction out of people! There was that part where Tara Reid's house flooded that she built; it's pretty tough to build a

This is a one-note joke that has gone on way too long. Tangentially, I met the set designer for Sharknado on a plane once.

Have you seen Winter Soldier or Age of Ultron? U.S. facism and human obsolescence are the subtext of those movies; just because they don't have grainy filters doesn't mean they don't deal with some pretty big issues. Also Winter Soldier is pretty damn violent; LOTS of people die in that movie.

They show the one part of Batman's story we don't need to see again, then show us a very different Batman from what most people are used to seeing, and offer no explanation of why he is the way he is.

They think the clock is ticking on the popularity of the comic book movie, but they don't realize that they could extend the comic book movie's popularity by slowing down and making good individual movies. Instead they've hastened its decline.

It had no stakes though, besides a fetishistic penchant for wanton destruction. It had no relationships I cared about, it was just idiotic faux profound musings on god vs. man with nothing real tethered to those musings so they fell completely flat. I did find it strangely entertaining though.

That dream sequence could have been edited in to the movie MUCH better than it was (although I'm not convinced it was entirely necessary.). Apropos of nothing, DARKSEID APOCALYPSE!!! I would watch a movie based on that dream sequence though; Superman rules the world and Batman leads the resistance? Hell yeah!

I think the secret reason DC is rushing so much is they're scared to death the comic book movie fad will end before they get their shot at a decent cinematic universe. What they should realize is that, if the movies are good enough, they can extend the comic book movie fad themselves.

Teasing future movies (beyond easter eggs) before they come out in other movies is a stupid, dangerous practice. See how well it worked for the Amazing Spider Man 2?

It plays like the end of a comic book arc that you've just picked up so you have no idea what's going on. Plus the editing isn't good (there was maybe one establishing shot) so things don't flow well and we are constantly left playing catch up.

Where are you listening to it on? I can't find it on Spotify.

I saw them on a rainy Monday night in Michigan. I don't think anyone, the band included, was expecting to have that much fun. We started moshing; good natured moshing, no one got seriously hurt. Even the girl who tried crowd surfing and fell and landed on what looked like her neck. The band stopped and were like

Yes! Can't stand that guy; although him becoming Claire's glorified sex slave was great.

Frank mentioned something about Conway possibly planting the white terrorists, which is neither confirmed nor denied, but I think that's what happened too.

Am I the only person who jumped to "kill me so Claire can become president" when Frank said they need to do something really extreme to push everything under the rug?? I was disappointed they settled on something so tame in comparison.

I have a theory, which, now that I put it on the internet, is sure to be disproven: that the first Bond you saw will be your favorite, and the first one you see in theatres will be, IN YOUR OPINION, the best. First one I saw is Roger Moore, and first one I saw in theatres was Daniel Craig

If they wanted to go in a different direction, Crews would have been a funny as f*ck Luke Cage; although he's funny as f*ck in everything.

Spider-Man?

Whoa.
