"Superheroes are played out. The future is in funny animal comics. And westerns! ...Naw, I kid, I kid. We're simply rebooting, because we've just broken our biggest draws. What, you didn't think a black guy was going to stay Captain America, did you? Plus, the Big Two have to imitate each other constantly, and we've

Reminds me of his...final moments.

I want to see a reality show called Galt's Gulch, but oddly enough it's the people forever pitching the damn thing that never move forward on the project.

I keep asking: where's my Barely Legal Teen Titans?!?

I'm still giggling because I can't stop noticing that Ultron's color scheme is silver and scarlet and remembering Disassembled and thinking AoU is going to involve another massive, Mandarin-level switcharoo.

It's posters rather than VHS covers, and it's been quiet (TOO quiet) for months now, but I could spent hours just wandering the halls of Wrong Side of the Art!

It was also completely ripped off by some short-lived anthology series—Darkroom, perhaps?

Now playing

Every time I see that Wrecked Ultron stagger forward, I just hear this (yes, I know Ulty has legs):

Oh, no. Does this mean they're going to stop production on Sharknado vs Leprechaun? What about Pandaconda? And that big Kevin Sorbo vehicle, Jesus, Mary & Joseph: Atheist Slayers?

Brace yourself for disappointment; script by the guy who wrote Lost in Space and Batman & Robin; produced by the fellow who made both Ghost Rider movies. Granted, they've both done better, but sci-fi and fantasy don't seem to be their bag.

Are we still pouring billions of dollars into the Star Wars Missile Defense System That Won't Work Unless Tracking Devices Are Attached To The Target Missiles?

Whatever happened to just threatening to go Galt?

Yo dawg, I heard you like Iron Man, so I got you an Iron Man inside an Iron Man.

I always imagined Judge Death with a Fraunch accent.

Oh, Lord, I thought "Judge Dredd" finished his career. You would think that. That "Judge Dredd" and... (checks IMDb) ...oh my God, "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer," are you serious? You would think those alone would get him driven out of Hollywood.

Ah, I knew jarts would be on the list. How could they not be?

That rant reminds me of a movie-review blogger who couldn't stop crying about how unfair it was that movies were "always" portraying the U.S. military as the bad guys. And rich people! Rich people were "always" evil too! It was as if he didn't understand the "underdog" concept at all. I wonder if he ever went Galt and

I adore how so many of these discussions boil down to: "If this guy didn't have powers or weapons or 'x' unusual situation, he'd be dead." "But the whole point of that character is that he HAS those powers/weapons/situation. If he didn't, he wouldn't be challenging these bad guys." "You're not listening. I'm saying,
