According to Goode and Snyder, that somewhat odd accent Goode uses when he’s with trusted people is supposed to be German. Yep! They stuck a Nazi into the movie.

Because that’s not the point of “Watchmen.” Snyder’s movie was to the comic as the Demi Moore “Scarlet Letter” was to Hawthorne. Tonally.

Moore and Gibbons based Veidt on JFK and Robert Redford. He was supposed to be an immensely wealthy, talented, and brilliant man who, nevertheless, was immensely attractive on a personal level to nearly everyone. How the writers and Snyder missed this completely puzzled me from the early trailers.

Renee Montoya is a great character, but she’s not The Question. Vic Sage became The Question for very specific reasons. Montoya does not share that motivation.

Because the selection is larger by an order of magnitude, if not two.

While the Jack Palance Jekyll and Hyde TV movie was not particularly good, it did a fine job of distinguishing the two personae without going into pure caricature.

“From Hell” is Moore’s masterwork. It’s not supposed to be pretty. It’s supposed to be as murky and ugly as Whitechapel was physically and the upper-class settings were, morally. The focus is on the behavior of the characters, as it should be.

Nice, obscure Robert Bloch reference.

Exactly — V is the villain. On the page where he is introduced in the comic, the title reads, “Chapter One: The Villain.” No one else in that chapter is in a position to be so designated.

Ah ... when Wolverine’s claws were shaped like animal claws instead of knives.

And there is no reason at all for Star Lord to have that body. He’s in decent shape, but he’s primarily a thief, not super-powered in any way. I thought it was fairly ridiculous when I first saw Pratt’s torso, but it’s expected, these days.

Your ignorance, fortunately, does not decide the worthiness of topics for review or discussion. D’Souza has a long history and some sway in what passes for conservativism.

There is no Democrat party. It's Democratic. Don't feed the nuts.

You left out luck.

But they didn't act on those declarations. They were just words used to pull some support from the existing left.

Sunn-Classic Bigfoot “docs” from the seventies looked better than D’Souza movies.

Part of it is that Mariah was a crooked politician who used dirty money in part to fund her initiatives.

This whole season is about family, in the case of every major character — whether by birth, by marriage, or by another kind of choice. Families are coming together, breaking apart, dealing with stresses within and without. Mariah is dealing with three separate families — her blood family with Tilda and the memories of

The comics character on which Mariah is very loosely based is nicknamed “Black Mariah.” That was also the nickname for an old-fashioned police paddy wagon. In the comics, Mariah is a huge woman, so the typo is bad but appropriate.

Which Luke would then duck, in homage to George Reeves.
