Lots of conjecture about an appearance of Reed Richards, so you’re instinct may be completely correct,

I agree that it could Mephisto or Nightmare — Dormammu doesn’t tend to warp reality as much as just conquer it imo. I lean Nightmare. I think Wanda was tapping into the Nightmare dimension when she was feeding the Avengers visions in Age of Ultron.

Yes, but the similarities and dichotomies between them are more interesting than that. They are all highly successful, signature works in their sitcom sub genres. One camera vs. 3 camera. Dysfunctional family dramedy vs fan culture immersed comedy. Highly traditional tropes vs. Meta tropes. Whether the show runners…

Two Broke Girls homage had to happen. The other sitcoms of the 2000s that seem appropriate: The Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men, Community and Arrested Development.

Clowns, it had to be clowns

I believe Reynolds has dramatic range, just don’t see him as ideal for certain types of roles. I like both Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, for example, and see both as good dramatic actors. But they have different strengths (imo) and its easier for me to imagine Kidman as a psychotic villain.

I’ve heard Cumberbatch is a pretty mimic, but that is a tall order.

The recognizable part there is gonna necessitate the fame part.

Yes, both were on my shortlist. Not included only because: a) I’m not convinced Harrelson is a great mimic (tbh I have doubts about Denzel Washington too in that regard) and b) Rockwell, for all his deserved accolades— even the Oscar— is not quite at the instantly recognizable star level Harrelson is.But putting those…

there aren’t really any current big name stars that have the over-the-top personas of Cage and Travolta.

That... is not a bad idea at all. My only caveat is that I can’t see Reynolds coming across as genuinely evil. Cage and Travolta may have both been very campy in villain mode, but you could accept them as creepy bad guys. Jackman can certainly do that, but I’ve yet to see that from Reynolds. 

The GOP are being hypocrites, but Neera Tanden is very corrupt on top of being mean.

Leviathan (or whatever that DC event was called) was pretty bad too. House of X/Power of X is the only event I’ve thoroughly enjoyed and I’ll give Future State a B- for a good if uneven effort. I think I hate events now and see them as contributing to the decline of mainstream comics. Publishers seem addicted to them…

Apparently there is a hair product with a similar “Gorilla “ name that is also a spray. Doubtless she should pay more attention, but unless she is the handy type that does a lot of home repairs it’s conceivable she’s never heard of Gorilla Glue and confused it with the hair product. 

I think they are using a version by Louis Prima, who first made the song famous in the ‘50s and fits a Goodfella-ish vibe. In fact, I think Roth is a fan of Prima and the original.

Everything about this movie — premise, lead, use of song “Nobody” in the first trailer, dry one liners in trailer— is screaming tongue firmly in cheek black comedy to me. I’m not confused by the tone, but then I also see John Wick as largely a comedy.

I mentioned the motorcycle riding because others — not you — have cited it as implausible, not realizing that QL grew up riding bikes. As for fence hopping a) I would not expect it of most actors and b) the often discussed editing in Taken’s fence hopping is about (imo) bad esthetic choices more than Liam Neeson (or…

A) Latifah is actually athletic and can ride motorcycles. I’m not saying she can take out a room of highly trained soldiers, just that she can sell a stunt as capably as any physically fit 50 year old actor.

It is one of the more literary examples of the last pre-Tarantino generation of crime films, influenced by the under-regarded Black masters of the hardboiled...

Randall hasn’t read the comics (which is not a crime) or he’d know that Jimmy is the brains and leader of Atlas. I would love to see Randall Park having a conversation with Fin Fang Foom, a gigantic talking dragon.
