Yeah, I don't get this. I used to do this with short clips 10 years ago.

Jerry's first joke. My last new Disqus thread. :(

Agreed on all points. "Doofy screw up" is a lot more fun than "naive but super angry hero #37", especially when you have Luke and jessica to puncture him. Matt has also gotten a lot more fun since DD s2, which I liked but also turned him into sort of a drag.

Mostly just stuff about him and his wife, really. Was reading about him in light of the Joss revelations, about how they travel together, she stays on-set with him, they work on scripts together and that sort of thing. I have no inside info—based on his movies I probably would've assumed he was sort of a bro. But…

I don't like many of his films (only the owl movie and Watchmen) but I DO like that he actually seems like a pretty stand-up dude.

Danny is much more fun on Defenders. He's still probably the worst Defender but he's just goofy enough to bounce off the other characters and differentiate himself.

Man, this is great.

Please link me to this.

I second this. It is very tough to crack in the beginning. There's not much in the way of narrative hooks. But it's great if you're the type of person who can spend a couple days reading something that barely seems coherent. It gets better.

I love season 3 but I lost interest in the gas-leak season and never dug the new Harmon seasons. Should've ended w s3 as an almost-perfect, slightly indulgent little gem.

They broke the character pretty early in that case. The first Spider-Slayer appeared in ASM 25. I think of a lot of that stuff as finding their footing—I don't think modern JJJ would be funding villains to kill Spidey.

Lou Ferrigno's bodyguard yelled at me when I got to close to his table with my phone out at SC Comicon last year. Which was mostly amusing but still.

Sometimes it's the little things though. I love Rectify, but one of the southern characters kept referring to "boiled peanuts." I'm not even a native and I know they're pronounced, "bolled" and every time it happened it was genuinely jarring.

It can be. It's sort of melancholy but it's also often funny.

Mo Willems is very good as well. I haven't met any kids yet who don't love Gerald and Piggy. But beware the Knuffle Bunny series—the first two are "kid with a special toy" stories in the vein of Corduroy and then the third rips your heart out.

Well, Frog and Toad is fantastic too, of course. I like the stage one, and the one where spring is just around the corner. He's a fantastic writer and I love his illustrations.

That's the best story.

I think a lot of the death stuff is read in post-hoc by adults, like in the Goodnight Moon example.

The True Deceiver is basically about that too.

Jansson brother, I embrace you.
