Yeah, Maverick genuinely surprised me.

Yeah, I think he misses one crucial aspect: The Internet hates everything, so negative reactions aren't really all that damning simply because they're guaranteed no matter how good your movie is. Yes, some people started spreading the word about how awful Battleship and Pixels were within 2 hours of their release —

Dr. Manhattan's dong sways gently back and forth. Swinging. Judging. Silently.

It's even sooorta a loose entry in that 1990s "two of every idea" trend. Mel Gibson and James Garner movie-adapted Maverick, and then Will Smith and Kevin Kline come along with a movie adaptation of another old TV western, Wild Wild West. Just 5 short years later! (Hey, I said it was a "loose" entry.)

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that's how Kevin Kline makes pretty much all of his career decisions. That crappy movie he did with Tracy Ullman very much included. (And sometimes it works out! He's unexpectedly great on Bob's Burgers.)

I, for one, welcome our arachnid overlords.

Hey, it's just his thing. Lots of people have a thing! Sam Raimi likes ground-level moving-camera shots. Michael Bay would blow up a cheese sandwich if he could find any excuse for it in the screenplay. (And even if he couldn't, probably.) Everybody's got their thing…

As long as The Stale Prince isn't calling himself a rapper anymore, I'll take it.

A Teal Izzard would be a really awesome thing, though! Actually, Eddie did wear that one coat in I think "Dress to Kill" that was maybe near-teal.

Please, not the sock puppets. That's very disrespectful to Kermit, and he's been through enough this week.

The "#smockin" hashtag is some more insanity GMA made up; it's supposed to be "#smokin", which would relate it to The Mask. Not WELL, since as a meme it doesn't really seem that prevalent and Know Your Meme doesn't even seem to have an entry on it, just this one image. http://knowyourmeme.com/pho…

You… you monster!

Better lay off that jerk sauce, I hear it's got a ton of calories.

I think the "Noah" part is whiter, I'm told Noah looked just like Russell Crowe.

Corrected headline: Axl Rose wants to register for a crash-course in the Streisand Effect

He kept not seeing it!!!

… … …What's a "check book"? Tell me more about these mythical tomes of check.

I pity the fool who don't know if Mr. T is alive or dead!
