    My take on Whedon is that he really was similar to David, and It’s certainly possibly Whedon took some inspiration from David. Both avoided common tropes as often as possible, and if the tropes were unavoidable, they’d acknowledge it and lean into it. Neither was afraid of completely shaking up the status quo by

    Hang on a minute! Tyra in a fat suit not being helped at the makeup counter could just as easily have happened because she’s not white. She did it in America, after all. Had she gone undercover as a fat white woman it might have been different. (Someone please find a link to the Eddie Murphy SNL bit where he goes

    Just what part of that do you have a problem with? Be a big boy, use your words.

    I prefer to think of anything pre-2001 as LAST MILLENNIUM. That gives it an even grander scale.

    I truly expected Mantzoukas to walk out at the end as the first production model.

    I have the feeling that they specifically wanted to avoid anything that could be construed as a big farewell moment and instead keep the focus on the fun of the night. While there could be some good farewell moments from those most expected to leave if they’d wanted to, it could have been a bit of a downer with

    Came here to say those exact two things. Now get out of my head.

    If they’d ever mentioned Smigel’s name in the commercials I’d have checked it out already.

    I recall her going all the way back to Sky High.

    Hey, genius, it’s one thing to talk about it, but it helps if you actually speak about it intelligently and admit when you don’t know something, which if you actually read the fucking article or saw the show, you’d know was not the point anyway. They’re talking about actual discrimination against black people by white

    ALF is indeed the only proper answer.

    Who’s this “we” you’re talking about? Speak for yourself, bud.

    And there’s only a 19 year age difference between Sandler and Mulligan. Ugh...

    The problem with guild insurance as I understand it is that you have to be an active member with a minimal level of employment to qualify. So if you get hurt or sick, you’re still covered for a time but at some point, if you’re still not working, you have to provide your own coverage. Basically, it’s the same as any

    They purchased the rights back from Matthew Brock.

    I don’t think that Marvel, owned by Disney, is ready to let their anyone give their IP the same treatment that DC did for Harley Quinn. The think that MCU skews quite a bit younger than the darker DCEU, so they’ll happily cede the truly adult stuff while counting the $22bil+ their movies have made so far...

    Agreed. That could have referred to his being a tactical genius, not necessarily all-around smart. I’d think that one could excel at West Point by showing exceptional ability at those skills highly values by the military. No matter how “intelligent” is, they can always have blind spots, big and small.
