I’m 5'11" now, but I was 6'1" in college 30+ years ago, and I’ve always had a 30" inseam. It wasn’t until Michael Phelps got famous as America’s favorite long-torso’d, short-legged Olympian that my mom finally had the language to describe my weird body: “Oh, you’re built like a fish.”

If no one else is going to mention it, Patrick Schumacker and Justin Halpern were writers/exec producers on the short-lived Powerless (which recently dropped for free on the CW streaming channel.). It’s goofy, a little cheesy, and looks like it cost about $10 per episode, but does the same off-center world-building as…

Those would be his next words on this....

Burt Ward has some words on this....

Well, this is unexpected. She raised a not invalid stink when Kathryn Hahn was cast as Joan Rivers, over Hahn not being Jewish. And plenty of ink’s been spilled over straight actors cast as famous queer icons.*

*not saying Cooper’s as straight as he presents, but the guy’s not Jewish that I’ve heard of.

Sooooo....in the summer of 2010 I was heading up the Digital Media Archives at NBC-Uni, with a 4-person office that doubled as an MPAA vault in the center of a floor of engineers who neither understood nor cared what we digital media guys were up to. And it was great! I had my own golf cart on the lot, and the drive…

I....I had no idea. That is so great!

Don’t forget Dogma, where he literally played Loki’s *best friend*.

And here’s how make it popular: It’s CoxMurdoch in the first act before the spell was cast, then the third act has AffleckMurdoch pop in, saying “Wait, you’re not my Peter Parker,” followed by Holland saying “Awwww man, here we go again!”

Oh my sweet summer child, let me direct you to the One Wilshire Building in downtown LA, circa 2006. Floor after floor after floor of the most heavily guarded and tightly-policed data centers on the entire West coast. And who were these data centers for?

Banks.
Before AWS and the rise of the cloud, actual server rooms…

Sadly, the action figure you’re describing is out of stock :(

I’ll 2nd this. I used to work at Sony DADC (the encoding/transcoding/digital distro branch of Sony) back when they were still in Marina Del Rey, and we’d crank out content for Netflix often enough.* If the Onboarding team flagged known 4:3 assets arriving as cropped 16:9's, and not pillarboxed 16:9's, then it would…

Josie Packard’s soul will be saved.

This is absolutely fucking metal.

If you tell me the Vista’s also closed permanently I will slit my wrists. That place is heaven*

I agree, but I’m also kinda in awe of my own Grandpa. He graduated high school in 1950, he’s 89 now, and will turn 90 on Christmas Day 2021. And he looks fucking amazing (he was in the Plumbers and Pipe-Fitters Union for 57 years and still looks like a 1950’s wrestler, like he could throw a motorcycle over his head.)

Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy might not be remembered as fun necessarily, but you should give the scripts a read (or re-read.) Alfred is nothing but quips, Bruce has a smirk on his face like 60% of the time and big swaths read like episodes of Frasier.

I’m glad that you mentioned Olivia Dunham and Peter Bishop, because when I didn’t see Fringe listed among the shows that succeeded I went “Pffftt, they totally forgot one!”

On the one hand, “Yay, the Swordsman!”
On the other hand, isn’t it weird that Dalton is only 45? I mean, he’s 4+ years younger than Renner and is supposed to be his “former mentor.” So....huh?

As much as I’d love to see the MCU introduce Cox, Colter, et al as their Netflix legacy characters (especially D’Onofrio), I have one secret hope if Feige and Disney decide not to:
