HEY-OH

There was an attempt to form a creators union in the early seventies spearheaded by Neal Adams. Marvel and DC formed an unofficial alliance to share page rates and royalty information to derail the formation. Sean Howe’s brilliant Marvel Comics: The Untold Story covers it briefly.

It’s probably my favorite of the series. I love the first twenty minutes or so of Evil Dead 2 more— basically the recap and Ash being tormented before the others show up— but as a whole film, the sheer horror and dread of the original win me over.

A shade under 8,585,000 parsecs.

You’re in luck—so far it’s three episodes of Superboy, Miss Martian and Beast Boy on Mars so the only villains are shadowy racist Martians without any names or characterization other than they hate White Martians and Earthlings, and that includes Superboy.

Focusing on three characters that are off-planet and then infodumping a bunch of politics and rcism and mysticism in 22 minutes without cutting back to Earth at all is certainly a choice.

They will never do the alcoholism arc because it’s too adult for the franchise.

The thing is that Charlie Cox is a GREAT Matt Murdock.

My blood will boil with you start talking about how terrible meat is for the environment,

For a while now, the Riddler’s schtick has been that he was a gimmick thief and he’s out of touch with the recent crop of Gotham villains. He’s treated as a joke during Knightfall— so much so that when he tries something out of his usual ouvre, Robin takes him out solo and this is when Batman was barely allowing Tim…

A huge part of the problem is Kinja stopped working properly. You can’t see responses to your comments by clicking your notifications (yes, I realize the Alanis Morrissette-ian levels of irony I’m reaching here) without scrolling through every comment. That pretty well smothers any decent chance at conversation in the…

I ended up with two very adorable kittens and they get hours-long zoomies and almost exclusively after midnight. I tend to be up later than my wife and she thought I was exaggerating until she finally witnessed it after two months of having them. Somehow, these tiny beasts are louder than our 70lb dog.

There’s a reveal in the third season where the audience finds out that Vandal Savage enacted this plan thousands of years ago when Darkseid first attacked Earth. It’s insane how long of a game this is.

That’s a perfect fit for an adult Peter; he’s got the ability and intelligence and the emotional maturity to connect with kids, plus teachers get paid shit, so he still struggles with rent.

I usually keep my hair long— it’s currently shoulder-length, longest was mid-chest-- and I've never gotten food in it.

Chilled glassware is a waste of time. If you're that concerned, fill the glass with ice and a little water while you mix the cocktail, dump it and pour the drink over fresh ice. Chilled glasses serve one purpose and that's to water down your drink.

You can make your own bitters very easily. In this case, take the peel of an orange or two and steep it for around 48 hours in a half cup of overproofed liquor. Strain and you’ve got bitters. You can add spices or smoke, too. It's easy to personalize. A few cloves would be delicious with this drink.

It’s insane how much work it takes to get in that shape. Rob McElhenney’s thing when he got jacked for It’s Always Sunny was great:

The greatest thing is being able to just turn it off if you’re not enjoying it without feeling like you wasted time getting ready and going out there. I loathed the Suicide Squad and turning it off half an hour in was liberating.

I’d love to be able to thumbs up/down titles to tweak my recommendations. It’s such a slog.
