Chef curry with the pot, boy?

Never heard of it, sounds special.

There was something Shatneresque about this, apart from Shatner is a little more…desperate? He wishes he didn't give a fuck, but he has fucks to spare.

"the race between Ford and Daniel Craig for Least Fuck-Giving Actor In A Franchise Property is currently a tie"

Sure, but I'm not writing a reasoned analysis of the movie, I'm relating a sentiment in the article that was put succinctly to an approach that people have to Superman as a character, and by extension the film Man of Steel. I don't think I've mischaracterised fans of the film though. I genuinely think it's foolish to

I admire your passionate response, but nothing is going to convince me that Man of Steel is a good film, let alone a good Superman film. Far from it.

That people would see a superhero like Superman as a punching machine first and a moralistic crusader second. Obviously people like superheroes in all flavours, that's why we have everything from Peter Porker, Spider-Ham to The Punisher, but I wouldn't have put the fundamental misunderstanding of Superman as a

"It took me an embarrassingly long time to understand that people view superheroes as aspirational figures. As a kid I thought of Batman, Spider-Man, and Superman as action heroes like Ethan Hunt or James Bond, not as protagonists with important moral lessons to impart. It actually wasn’t until I watched Captain

Dream scenario, but an unlikely one I feel.

The fun is the not-knowing!

I mean that his past is mysterious because there's every possibility that he's fabricating a lot. He's a slimy, double-crossing, no-good swindler.

I can understand having little to no desire to see Yoda's history explored, just on a pure fear-of-prequelitis level, however: Yoda, as a puppet, is much more easy to accept slightly redesigned than someone else replacing young Ford. Also, I completely disagree regarding your assessment of Han Solo. Maybe he's not

In the sequel to the movie that made him. Do you think Vader is shit because the prequels exist?

Why would you be against a Yoda movie more than this?!

Chewbacca is like 200 years old, he won't be young if he's in this.

He was the bounty hunter out of the line up that found Han. He got to Cloud City first. Vader wagged his finger at him and told him not to disintegrate anyone. He gave Vader backchat on a constantly altering deal and didn't simper. He looked cool. So did his ship. What. More. Do. You. Want?

You won't. Even if he doesn't save the Galaxy, he'll be heroic, which kind of ruins his arc in the original.

I want to say Catch Me If You Can is underrated, but I think it's pretty widely recognised as quality entertainment, so maybe it's better to say it's under-appreciated? I think it's a truly great film that isn't spoken about nearly enough.

I know I'm perfectly capable of doing my own research, but I wish AV Club listed the episode writers and directors in the little grade box. I liked what Brooke Roberts and Gabrielle Stanton did here A LOT. The 'you said you'd never mention that again' moment with Joe and Barry and the Doctor Light training sequence

It means it's a sanitised R.
