(...I liked it.)

I have unironically been saying this for years.

You’re really relishing the chance to go full-on Trek nerd in these comments, aren’t you? Deep cuts left and right.

Happy to see him in anything!

I liked it a lot, too. I thought Namor was appropriately dickish throughout, even if he wound up having bit more shading to him to complicate that.

This was one was both pretty dull and probably 30 years too early. The Scorsese anecdote was nice, though.

For my late-teens movie dork friends and I, it was a pretty simple equation of A Horror Movie Exists + We love Buffy + Holy shit, JLH...!

...Which EU character?

Peterson’s awfully dry, but he certainly knows his stuff! I haven’t picked up The Elusive Shift yet, but it’s on the vast to-read list.

I definitely heard Harley Quinn in her voice in that opening scene. Did she switch it up for I, Tonya?

My buddies and I spent YEARS imitating McFarlane’s Kermit voice from these intros. “We all wear masks...”

“Space clowns” are a potential enemy in the just-released Spelljammer setting revamp (along with murder comets, ooze people, brain collectors, and many others).

Promising for sure. But then, I’m a D&D nerd, so I was going to see this anyway. Hoping for the best.

What we saw on scream was genuinely creepy as hell

I’m on record as a Random Roles/Will Harris superfan (I invented the damn drinking game!), so the return is an extremely welcome one, even if it winds up being brief. A superb subject to close out on; what an interesting life and career Astin’s had.
