Well, they've frequently suggested in the comic books that Kara was somehow stronger than Clark from the get-go. Like, a LOT stronger.

Who says they're replacing him? Maybe the showrunners realized that the chintzy relationship melodrama was dragging the show down, and they just won't HAVE a love interest next… next…

Yeah, I noticed you did a post on The Dark Knight Rises, and I REALLY liked that movie… So I withdraw my "crappy" qualifier.

The problem is that we don't actually know Zack Snyder as a person. To us, he's an abstraction that we associate with movies that have disappointed or enraged us, and we've subsequently villified him so much that it's strange to think of him as a human being deserving of our respect and empathy.

For all the crap I've heard (and said) about Zack Snyder the filmmaker over the years, hearing this just smashes through and contextualizes all of that petty bullsh*t. I can't even imagine what the man is going through right now. I feel so, so sorry for Mr. Snyder and his family, and I hope they can make it through

Overthinking crappy movies? Count me in! That's pretty much what I spend most of my time doing anyway!

Well, no one would have accused Iron Man of being the most interesting Avenger until they put out a kick-ass movie about him. Seems like they're aping the Marvel playbook: start with the B-tier (Iron Man, Hulk), introduce the big guns (Thor, Captain America), then team-up.

They really thought King Arthur was gonna make it to six films?! Ritchie couldn't even keep Sherlock Holmes going past two, and that was with Robert Downey Jr. as the lead! Just how career-suicidal was the executive who green-lit that pitch, anyway?

They'll probably do something contrived and stupid, like having a team made up of the protagonists of all the solo movies (Tom Cruise, Van Helsing— whenever he shows up— and maybe a "good" monster, like the Bride) and lead by Dr. Jekyll going after ALL of the monsters, who've been assembled by Dracula to conquer the

No, that's Law #1 and #2.

… Okay, I gotta admit: I'm kinda interested in watching that Mummy movie now. Not for the Tom Cruise, desert mercenary stuff, nor the wretched-sounding "Dr. Jekyll as Nick Fury" angle… but because Sofia Boutella's She-Mummy ("Lady Mummy"? "Mummy-Woman"? "Mummy Dearest"? Ah, hell— let's just go with "Mummy") actually

Man, that is one ruthlessly misleading cover. I'm betting the publisher was hoping that people would just snatch it up thinking it was a Jurassic Park prequel or something, and wouldn't notice that little guy on horseback until they'd finished chapter one.

"I don't regret watching most of these."

I would argue that TNG, more than any other Trek show, is a pure ensemble series, and therefore doesn't HAVE a main protagonist. We only think of Picard as the lead because he was the captain.

My favorite character from The Flash is definitely, without a doubt, Season One Barry Allen. He was upbeat, dorky, charming, a brilliant CSI, and could think up inventive uses of his powers to solve given problems. He was easily the highlight of his own show… so when they killed him off at the start of season two and

The Fourth Law of Robotics? I thought that was: "Any attempt to arrest a senior officer of OCP results in immediate shutdown".

"I don't have your money here! It's in Bill's house… and Fred's house…!"

That would probably be the people who objected to her being the U.N.'s honorary ambassador for women. Which still blows my friggin' mind.

It is. I can't WAIT to talk about it with you guys.

Well, sh*t.
