Comment of the day, if only for managing to go in so many directions at once. Well played.

Pluto. Hmmn. Pluto? Didn't that used to be a planet or something?

Come on. Any of these guys could get a movie, just not a good one. Hollywood doesn't mind gutting the "canonical" origin story for Cable, or anybody else. "A sexy female Hulk" is like catnip for producers. (Which is also why Man-Thing won't be as hard as you imagine. See what I did there?) Alpha Flight, granted,…

Meh. Just bring back "Journeyman" and I'm good.

Of course, Kryptonians don't need to worry so much about the cold, what with all that Arctic fortress and flying around in space stuff. But there's still the question of dignity.

"Burning question." I see what you did there. Twice.

I hate Chuggington as much as the next dad, arguably more. But for the record, I'm not sure that dubbing the British voiceovers with American ones qualifies as "dumbing down." The (despicable and derivative) content doesn't change, just the accents. I suppose you can argue that, this way, kids are spared the mental…

Malekith? No, no; Christopher Eccleston is Crusher Creel.

Y'know, it depends on what kind of power we're talking about. If you mean box-office power, then I imagine Donald and Mr. Stay-Puft pretty much crush their competition, with Popeye holding his own and the Japanese girls fighting it out for last place.

Nah. He's got two law degrees and just formed a new real estate firm with his father. (Google is an amazing thing.) Sadly, he doesn't call it Metropolis Estates, either.

Eh. I see your point and all, but as rich-folk presents go, $29k is fairly routine. Per Forbes, a couture gown starts at about $25k and can easily reach the hundreds of thousands. According to an article I just googled, a "green" bar mitzvah in LA can run $25-500,00. How many parents buy their kid a car — and…

I slogged through the Red Mars trilogy, all eighty bazillion pages of it, enjoying the speculative science and waiting for one of the characters to become remotely interesting. Any one of them, and even remotely. Never happened.

How did I escape Sinestro? Why, by ACTING! If you don't believe me, ask my wife ... Lois Lane!

While it would be very like DC to go with John Stewart as Green Lantern, I'd enjoy the picture much more if they thought outside the box, and went with Jon Stewart.

"Some creators and companies might begin seeing themselves as IP factories, creating intriguing characters and then sending them out into the world."

Basically, that's why ASCAP exists: to make sure composers get paid by performers.

People, please. Isn't anyone going to make a connection between the old married couple and "no orbital insertion"?

You may be on to something here. I never saw the last few seasons of Smallville, so I missed this one. The leather (or pleather, or whatever) is a good choice.

Perfect honesty? Much as I love the 70s WW, especially Season 1, the costume never worked for me. The fit seemed wrong, the materials seemed too flimsy, and so forth.
