I know it’s a little odd to offer up the Russos as an example of directors putting their own stamp on MCU films, but seriously: watch Captain America: The First Avenger, and then watch a few episodes of Arrested Development and Community (especially A Fistful of Paintballs and For A Few Paintballs More) and then go…

Kirby was inarguably the towering, singular genius of his medium.

The extended cut of Donnie Darko proved pretty conclusively that the absolute last thing we want is Richard Kelly further expanding on its “universe”.  

I think Miramax just didn’t understand the series and flat out didn’t care as long as they could churn them out and be assured of a small but viable return on each one of them, and of course Barker himself had other irons in the fire.

Yeah, there should be some kind of special award for the series with the best movie made when well into what should have been diminishing-returns territory: New Nightmare had no reason to be even watchable never mind actually good, and yet there it was.

The Scream films are the hands-down winners by the metric of “horror franchise you would have to make the fewest embarrassed excuses for when showing them to your non-horror-fan friends or relatives” although I understand why a series that at its core is a parody of the genre probably won’t win.

And every one in a while, Hulk pass. Even Hulk have standards.

Neither here nor there, but was there some sort of silent compact amongst all of the men of the baby boom generation that they would only ever dispose of their old skin mags by dumping them in a wooded park or empty lot for the neighborhood kids to discover?  Because it’s a cliche but it’s also something that…

So apparently the way you get Valve to make #3 in a game series is to quit en masse, form your own studio, and try very hard not to infringe the trademark?

Even assuming that a C+ from Ignatiy is everyone else’s B-, this is a little disappointing: that’s one hell of a cast, but even the trailer raised the possibility that they were being largely wasted, and this review seems to confirm it.

Couldn’t I though?

Seriously. Since 1989 we’ve had Keaton x2, Kilmer, Clooney, Bale x3, Affleck x2 and now Pattinson and apparently the return of Keaton. That’s...a lot of Batmen. (And that’s only counting live action feature films!).

(I completely missed a golden opportunity to end that post with “Signed, the guy who remembers Doctors.”  Alas.)

“Magic Guy Who Is Definitely Not Just Doctor Strange”

Honestly I feel like this entire article was a troll to get Laserface to post more comics scans.

I think it’s also a fair cop on Quantum that it leaned way too hard into Bourne shakey-cam for the action sequences, which was especially sad after Casino Royale.

Yeah, I admit that Abaddon’s Gate (the book goes into rather more grim detail) was in the back of my mind as I was typing that. :)

I think a couple of porn companies have done shoots on the Vomit Comet or its non-union ex-soviet equivalents, but actual ISS porn remains the final frontier as it were.

I’m 100% handwaving here and would love for an actual doctor (unless you are one, in which case apologies) to weigh in: my immediate suspicion is that the lack of gravity to move fluids around would be a huge problem and not one necessarily solvable by off-the-shelf tools. Googling around didn’t find me much in the…

Neither here nor there, but surgery in zero-G sounds like a remarkably terrible idea.
