Is there any good place to start in the comics with Booster Gold/Blue Beetle? I've liked the lighter stuff I've seen so far (the JLU episode and a few pages with BG/BB goofing around), but that arc sounds intriguing.

Pretty much the same. Though I did have one person whom I wasn't seeing or wasn't related to comment on it a couple times. But we were both teens taking an extracurricular summer course, which is kind of a potent combo for social awkwardness/bluntness.

(voice cracking) But teacher, isn't angle dependent on the heat of the meat?

Selkies: The first selkie story I read as a kid was "The Seal Man" by John Masefield, where a selkie child grows up among humans and unknowingly leads a girl to her death. I forgot about it until fairly recently, but happened to purchase a copy of the book it was in, and the ending definitely brought back some twinges…

Krakowski could sell the biggest absurdities and non-sequiturs so well: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

In the Office cold open where Krasinski pops the exercise ball under Rainn Wilson, apparently it wasn't supposed to deflate that fast and the camera just about catches his startled face.

"Hey, Kimmy. 1996 called, it wants its clothes back."
"Hey, Xan. 2090 called: you're dead and you wasted your time on Earth."

That Serafinowicz had trouble keeping a straight face at Tamsin Greig's phone climax is one of the most memorable bits to me.

Don't know the technical term, but the camera "stepping" towards Chalmers during his "Aurora Borealis?…" questioning is beautiful (as is his expression going from skeptical to hopeful).

I don't know much about The Carol Burnett Show, but this outtake (Tim Conway's impromptu elephant story) is just amazing to me: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

Adding in Nick and Nora's quick exchange of facial expressions when she walks in on him holding Dorothy.

The "Bob Day Afternoon" shout-off is great, as is the multiple phone line conversation. And then on the opposite side of the everyone-bounces-off-everyone-else you get Bill Hader's criminal Mickey being so enthusiastic but also off on his own planet (paraphrasing here): "Hey, Bob, we're playing bank teller!… All…

There are just so many quick moments or rapid dialogue exchanges that show off the cast chemistry, timing, and writing.

I was frankly out of my depth when I first encountered excerpts from Gloeckner's work in an anthology as a somewhat sheltered teen, but the emotional complexities she talks about trying to capture in Diary were still very evident. In those few pages, what Minnie did was alien to me, but something about how she was and…

Mind Game! I bought what turned out to be a bootleg copy online some time ago in the middle of an experimental animation consumption phase, with no idea of what it was other than some screenshots. Just so many unexpectedly gleeful, lovely, or goofy moments in it. Apparently a group in NY recently screened it in a…

No time to read the comments on this one at the moment, but wanted to drop this link of different athletic body types that I think would apply for many of these characters and would love to see more of in video games/comics (the first couple tpbs of Top 10 are another good example of body diversity for men and women…

Never saw Downtown, but I think that came some time after Liquid Television. Aeon Flux (or at least the initial shorts) definitely was, though.

Some time ago, I looked up some of the Liquid Television shorts from MTV on their site and a few on YouTube. What struck me was that while bits and pieces all loomed large in my mind, and often as bigger, stranger beasts than they actually were, The Maxx was one of a handful that still felt as fluidly immersive and as…
