Yes, that was my final straw. The carnage coming from "Superboy Prime" was just sickening to me. This shouldn't be Game of Thrones. Other villains did similar things. Beheadings, blood and gore, bodies torn apart. Ugh.

A lot of that happens in other places, too, and it usually happens when executives who aren't on the creative side of things see the movies only as a commodity. They don't actually believe certain characters should be written a certain way, or don't have much understanding or interest in the weird, geeky genres of…

That's what I had heard. And while I'm not necessarily a Johns fan, I just like to see a hint that DC may finally be getting the message. Suicide Squad may lighten things up a little bit, but it's still gonna be a "villains are cool" film. Maybe the tone of this coming DC movie universe will be changed a bit as the…

I like Moore's stuff, but like Miller's Dark Knight Returns, a lot of his superhero stuff is a criticism/parody/satire of the genre. Those stories are fine, but they needn't be "applied" to the actual genre.

We don't really know where they are going with this Watchmen tie-in, but I'm not so sure their point is necessarily that Watchmen caused the current state of things. I do think that those kinds of stories, along with The Dark Knight Returns, did make a huge impact on comics, but keep in mind, both of those came out…

The reboot-happy DC decisions are certainly ridiculous at times, but while it may have been a better idea to just change the tone and direction of the New 52 into something better, but that may not work if you've already driven readers away. So, they give us some big flashy event to get the attention of those who…

What makes this even more interesting to me is that over the DC movie world, we now have them talking about making things lighter and more hopeful, as well. And I believe they even don't have the same guy running the movie side of things anymore. So it does appear that DC in all its forms has abruptly realized what…

OK, here is a weird thing that popped into my head when the old Fiona Apple song "Criminal" came on the radio. I was imagining that it would've made a good song for a James Bond opening theme. For some reason I can picture silhouettes and slow-motion gunplay going on. And maybe the movie could be one featuring a…

Sorry, but "Duel of the Fates" is possibly the best thing that came out of all of those prequels. That, and Darth Maul.

Battle of the Network Stars is such an oddity in TV. It seems like lately they seem to try and give us something similar but it's always 3rd rate celebrities involved. It was like another world.

I should add I didn't mean the aging comment as an insult. She actually looks a lot like she used to.

Can I, ten days later, reply to this to say that Dreyfus and Brian-Doyle Murray may have crossed paths back on '80s SNL. He did the news for at least a season, around the years she was on.

So. Much. Aqua Net.

He did more than hit on her. It was a major significant plot in the series, in fact.

Interesting little article and video. She's obviously aged in the way actresses who stop acting do. Never knew that she was married to James Brolin for years.

Sort of. There was once or twice where they made fun of the idea, because any other show would've gone there with Jack and Liz. But really, the show wasn't written as if that was a possibility. It certainly wasn't a major plotline in the series.

Oh, Peck is certainly an overreacting asshole, and was way too offended by Venkman's attitude. BUT, Venkman certainly didn't try to defuse the situation. Also, a machine that causes all kinds of chaos and destruction when turned OFF can still be considered dangerous.

Buzzy is a strange guy. He seems like he time-traveled from the 1930s to be on the show. He looks like Clark Kent and/or Harold Lloyd, and his name is "Buzzy Cohen." Sounds like Al Capone's accountant.

Are you not counting all that time you were trying to have a baby?

No way Shirley would be down for that!
