That’s how I read it at first also! That’s taking something of a risk with the article title.

Rodan was pretty damn scary. I really wanted Mazinga. 14 missiles! Multiple swords! The conversation went something like this:

Ha! Yeah, Raydeen was pretty awesome. His axe totally kicked ass.

Wow. You weren’t kidding.

I nearly did a spit take at “Stick to the language of the Bible: English!”

I wanted that 1977 Godzilla so bad. But my parents said I’d be terrified of it in the dark. (Which was pretty insulting, now that I think about it, even if I was only 7 at the time.) I had to settle for the Gaiking Shogun Warrior. Which was... ok. It was sort of embarrassing how it had missile nipples.

That’s what I started with too, the 8" Mego figures. I was ecstatic when the Red Falcon and Hulk figures came out. I got into the Six Million Dollar Man figures too, which were a bit bigger but could work into storylines with the Mego figures in a pinch.

I remember Micronauts, but the only one I ever got was the original clear version of Time Traveller. Not a big hit with my friends, but I thought it looked really cool.

If I could add my random thoughts to your random thoughts:

Plus it’d be pretty hard to keep a lid on upcoming movies once they start shooting and, say, spy photos of Tom Holland in the Spiderman costume start popping up on internet sites.

True, but a greater number of people have no idea. Over the past 4 years I’ve had several family members or friends say something like, “I hope in the next Avengers movie, Wolverine shows up.” Their eyes glaze over as I try to explain why that couldn’t happen. Hell, I’ve had at least one friend say they can’t wait for …

Hmmm. Clayton Purdom. Coincidence? Or has he been the nom de plume of an AVClub staff member’s tabby this entire time?

We need her and Amy Adams to play sisters who fall in love

So a Gangbang means multiple people doing the banging action.

THANK YOU. I can’t get through an episode of The Office because I can’t laugh at someone being as pathetic as Steve Carrell’s character is in every episode. I don’t laugh while cringing. Yeah, he’s clueless and the other employees are cooler than him, I get it. That does not translate into being a better comedy than Fr…

I remember her the most in that role. And in CSI. Totally forgot she was in Twin Peaks.

I haven’t either, but I have had to juggle two impending visits from different out-of-state girlfriends who announced they could visit me on the same weekend when I was in college. Both thought they were in an exclusive relationship with me. And—here’s the kicker—they were close friends! (They had recently experienced…

You’re right, and I’m surprised this isn’t already done everywhere. I’ve always assumed any decently run Con or Event or whatever required attendees to write down questions ahead of time and get them approved by the moderator (or someone helping the moderator) before they could be asked.

I think there’s a rebuttable presumption that any reference to Carrot Top refers to Anabolic Strength Carrot Top, or ASCoT.

Wait, are we doing “phrasing” again?
