The original Mister Terrific is possibly the lamest superhero ever… but the fact that they basically admit " yeah, he's lame, but he inspired a little kid to grow up into a better version of him" is on of the most poignant pieces of comic-book mythmaking ever.

Or is that the sound of him cumming?

She was aiming at the Sudoku; ending up taking out Goren's Bridge.

yeah, doesn't the Prime Minister take care of all the paperwork?

that may be why no one wants home delivery.

I envy them; September 2016 still had someone competent in the White House.

The 1999 MUMMY is probably the best of the Indiana Jones wannabes, but it's got a bad rep from horror buffs: the project (which started development in the early 90s as a response to the success of Coppola's DRACULA remake) passed through the hands of a string of fan-fav directors (Clive Barker, Joe Dante, and George…

Cube: Look, you're a white guy, you just can't say that word.
Maher: But I was referring to myself.
Cube: hmmm…. get me a notepad; I may have to do some math on this.

That clown scene is actually one of the highpoints of his tenure, because it's all played completely straight- he's a spy in disguise to do his job; lives are at stake.
It's one of the few times in the series where they go full Hitchcock.

RIP Sir Roger Moore, actor, humanitarian, and raconteur.
The longevity of the James Bond franchise insures he'll always be remembered as 007; but the role that made him a star was Simon Templar, and it was a MUCH better fit for him, (Indeed, so good that, although there were actors in that role before and after him,…

And yet, they rejected Raimi's pitch to direct a Batman movie no fewer than 3 times… and he was pretty much BORN to do it.

The best adaptation of Mignola will probably always be this: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

Well, there was the couple of years he wasted on pre-production of THE HOBBIT (a project that only came together when he left and the money people convinced Peter Jackson to take over).
And technically, both BLADE 2 and the first HELLBOY were done to prove he could do more mainstream "action" films (although they're…

He specifically rejected the idea of PG-13 because he'd just produced DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK, and saw it saddled with an R-rating despite it's lack of sex and violence.

FUN FACT: Johnson or Vin Diesel were the guys the studio were hot on when they made the first HELLBOY movie; Del Toro, Mignola, and the producers all held firm on Ron Perlman.

I have to be honest: Guillermo Del Toro's had a ton of projects fall apart on him, and at a certain point, it starts to look like HE might be the problem.

Maybe the second one was better because Mignola actually co-wrote it?

I'm really not sure how much of it really was Mignola's call; the producers are the same guys who produced the previous films, and it could have been a case of "Look, Del Toro's out; if you want, you can be in on the reboot".

Frankly, a hard-R Hellboy doesn't really suit the character as established; there's nothing in the comics that couldn't be done in a PG-13 movie.
That, more than the new director and cast, would be my greatest concern.

Mike Mignola is one of the defining comics artists of his generation (even Del Toro uses the term "Mignolaesque")
I like Del Toro; I like him a LOT. I even like his Hellboy films (heck, HELLBOY 2 may be my favorite comics adaptation ever). But this had devolved into Guillermo trying to steal the franchise from it's…
