Folks seem awful fond of Cat, judging by all the tumblr-shipping community.

Do CBS shows even do "mid-season finales". Just because this is a Berlanti series doesn't mean it's following some narrative formula.

Rescuers Down Under was also made by Disney Animation Studios itself; not farmed out to quickie animation houses in the south Pacific like most of the dtv cartoon sequels.

I'm surprised nobody has tried to reboot Beethoven so far.

Was he involved much in the comics story? The registration decree was a specifically American thing. (Although what World leader has ever stayed entirely out of foreign affairs? And its not like America never meddled in various Wakandan civil crises, right?)

Trying to stop these reckless superheroes from destroying all of Africa?

She was on Iron Man's side in the comics.

Don't several countries have their own versions of Top Gear? I'm sure BBC franchised the name out all over the world.

" …taking a 14-year-old clunker that’s been abandoned by its original owners, and attempting to retrofit and retool it …"

I still don't buy that she wasn't trying to frame Joan for the beat-down. Not that she thought Watson would actually be indicted, but it the investigation would ruin her week at least.

It's necessary to cast a few familiar faces in order to throw avclub reviewers off guard, especially given their talent for solving murders by identifying the most recognizable guest star.

Has any Coen Bros. movie gone down in estimation after its release?

What is a "pure" comedy? Is that anything like a true Scotsman?

Hula-hoops.
