I get that James Gunn wants to clean house and start over with the hot mess that is the DC film universe. He’s a brilliant filmmaker, and I love his work.

But this is a misstep.

Say what you will about the Snyderverse (he really, truly did not understand Superman), but the casting of Cavill, Gadot and even Affleck was

This excellent episode was written by House of Cards’ Beau Willimon. And it shows.

Strange New Worlds: Smell the Spacesuit Glove

I liked Moonlight better when it was called Angel.

Watching him as Hannibal Lecter in Michael Mann’s Manhunter is downright chilling. And he’s only onscreen for a few minutes.

I enjoyed the first two episodes, but am already feeling they pulled a bait-and-switch on us by filming Season One in New Zealand, but are filming Seasons 2 and on in the UK.

Neil would never personally assassinate them. He’d use dark minions. The kind he conjures with specially selected volumes from the back of his personal library.

Very nice. But I want to see the Webb views of Proxima and the other Centauri systems.

Mads Mikkelsen is perfect for the Count in Tomb of Dracula, whenever Marvel gets around to spinning it off from Blade.

If memory serves, Diet Coke is based on the 1985 New Coke formula, while Coke Zero is based on the Classic Coke formula. 

Westworld was beautifully shot. Impeccably acted. If only the story hadn’t gone around in circles the last few seasons.

Roy Thomas did such a great job on the Conan books because he was a fan of Robert E. Howard’s original stories, and was intent on adapting them to comics. 

Never thought I’d say this, but... Warner Bros. should sell DC to Disney.

Try catching episodes of the 1960s series with Adam West. If you enjoyed those films, you will love Batman from the 60s.

Still not exactly the Shakespeare of 90s comic book films.

Irredeemable? Hasn’t anyone in charge at Warners ever seen Batman Forever?

As Saul would probably say, “Nothing succeeds like excess.”

As long as Kang gets an invisible chair, it’s all good.

Somewhere, Alec Guinness is smirking.

Starkist never replied to me.
