It was pretty great. She was and is still in great voice.

Because it makes exactly zero sense and the plot is convoluted to the point that a narrator emerges in the last few minutes of Act 2 to sort it out. Every incarnation of the show has a different plot and different characters (a chessmaster autistic-savant named Vigand, tool of the Russians, appears about half the time…

The more supernatural the Batman world gets, the "scarier" he gets by comparison. Gotham is regularly threatened not only by mad or maimed humans, but by immortal quasi-vampires, unkillable monstrosities, mutants, demigods and demons. How sure can anyone in Gotham be that Batman isn't a supernatural being like… all…

We read superhero comics, watch science fiction and indulge in the rest of what C. S. Lewis called "fairy tales" because part of the human condition is a need for something larger than life. Since many are atheists today, and most that aren't belong to a "modern" religion more concerned with morality than with cosmic…

The original humorous conceit often boiled down to "they're cavemen… but they're Jews!" Having something to say isn't mandatory, but it can often help, and it helps here.

The earlier comic feature shown here had a very late-period Jhonen Vasquez feel, with the blissfully launching the monkey into space simply "because science."

In the Sonic franchise, the rogue is named Rouge! They hate us!

Though one can appreciate the sentiment, I was a little bugged by the scene in which Finn and Poe Dameron discuss how Trump must be stopped, how democracy has ultimately proved itself to be "a benign tumor on the human experience," and now a neo-Luddite return to agrarian collectivism is the only way of saving the…

I like that Johnny Chinamen is both singular and plural. Makes me think of some Popolac/Podjevo fusion of hundreds of Chinamen into one huge person.

I read all of Shakespeare. The good, the bad, the ugly. And the collaborations.

I love "The King in Yellow." So weird.

I loved "The Secret History," personally. Figuring out what time period it took place in was sort of a mystery within the mystery.

Like "Memento," it's a completely different work when you read the chronological edit.

There's a play called "An Iliad," in which a time-locked figure called The Poet (implied to both be Homer and to be a Doctor-Who like immortal being) feels compelled to tell the story of the Iliad again, with the pitch being that the war never ends. War never ends.

Hanks is always Hanks, more power to him. When I saw the play, Norbert Leo Butz from "Bloodlines" was Hanratty, and he disappeared completely into it.

I saw Diana De Garmo do the role opposite Darlene Love as Motormouth. THAT was cool.
