Does this mean a potential spot for Doctor Fate too?

You mean Randy.

“In its absence, many young liberals might have confronted the George W. Bush years and engaged in actual political projects, like the campus left of the 1960s.”

You know we had millions of young people march against the Iraq Wars, elected a Democrat to the White House twice in which young people overwhelmingly voted

I’ve had some good fortune of spending two trips to Rome staying off the Camp dei Fiori. Its located about equidistant from the Vatican and the Forum and quite close to the Pantheon.

Yeah and hardly any player in the league obeys all these rules except for the long snapper.

I’m lucky enough to be close to a bar that serves its Scotch with cool water as the default. This way I avoid having to specialize the order.

I doesn’t take much water to bring out the flavor in a single malt. Even a small amount does the trick just fine.

My usual line is blended Scotch is taken on the rocks, single malt is neat with a little cool (not cold) water.

Green Eggs and Ham should be on this list just for the sheer literary challenge of the book. Dr. Seuss made a bet with his publisher that he could complete a children’s book using no more than 50 different words, none but one more than a single syllable.

A thousand times yes to this.

Agreed, you really remember those early deaths because they aren’t followed up by any more until the very last part of the movie.

That’s an excellent point. The opening mole hunt is at times quite brutal. I guess my reaction was to distinguish MI:1 from movies where the violence is what drives the major action sequences, i.e. the Bond franchise and Super Hero Films.

Like these guys.

The first Mission: Impossible gets the remarkable credit of being an action movie with next to zero violence. To my knowledge there are a grand total of three gunshots and the two in the beginning are later revealed to have been staged. Its amazing what can be accomplished in terms of sense of danger and heightened

The catch is that in the context of the script, everything happens for a reason. Natasha was in the wrong place at the wrong time because the script writers put her there. Moreoever if Scarlet’s pregnancy was a concern why bother shooting that scene with her at all? I understand a Stark-like motivation to show off, to

But why Natasha specifically? Why did he want to show her anything? Why not Tony or Clint or Steve? It just seems really random.

I don’t know if a director’s cut fixes the main problems of the movie:

We never quite understand Ultron’s motivations. We know his has the Bender Rodriguez “Kill All Humans” endgame but its never really established why. Ultron just kind of shows up and decides everybody has to die. Sure he’s a super advanced AI and

If only Bob Barker had finished the job.

Putin and Blatter met at a favorite country lodge they both enjoy.

Stargate SG-1

A thousand times yes to this. The sardonic, angry “Bring my shuttle.” gave you more information about the movie at that point than all the dialogue we got later. There’s no need for wordy exposition when the actor’s tone can tell you everything you want to know in a single line.
