Wow, how jaded is this place that the premise of Indiana Jones fighting secret Fourth Reich Nazis on the moon receives nothing but cynical eye-rolling and moaning. That actually sounds pretty cool to me. 

I wonder if long-time watchers of something like The Young and the Restless feel the same way?

awww, crybabies gonna dismiss... lol.  

It’s one of the thing I have to kind of admire about his commitment to making great entertainment I like to see on the big screen.  Even if his meatier drama roles are years behind him at this point, I enjoy him trying to kill himself for my money.

THANK YOU. I bite my tongue when people rave about that bus fight (hey, if you enjoyed it, awesome), but (to my eyes) it’s like a weightless, over-cut, over-CGI’d imitation of something Jackie Chan was absolutely destroying thirty years ago. 

I still hope she plays “strong” female leads regardless. There’s Sicario where she really doesn’t get to do much, and then there’s Edge of Tomorrow where she’s absolutely convincing as someone that’s bigger and better than Tom Cruise.

We reach,  Brother.

Oh yeah. Some of his shit is super heavy.

Such an integral part of my childhood. This one will hurt for a while. Incredibly, we’ve still never gotten a performance like this from any other Batman:

I hate to interrupt an obit with complaints about the writing but:

RIP

There will be a bunch of hot takes soon about whether he’s the best batman ever, but it really hardly matters. What’s without a doubt true is that he defined the character as much as any one person could.

In the animated series, the video games, and the various other media appearances related, he developed his batman

Originally, based on calculations from the West End Games RPG (using the LFL bible) — approx. 20 - 25 days, since it was using the hyperdrive backup (and not the Falcon’s OG, very fast hyperdrive).

Yeah Skarsgard killed that monologue.

Yeah, bag on the speeches all they like, but watching Skarsgård lean into that monologue was a pleasure. “I’ve made my mind a sunless place” is damn near Shakespearean.

“You’ll stay with me, Lonni. I need all the heroes I can get.” Chilling.

Fantastic episode.

Funny you say that, because Luthen and Lonni detailing their own deeply personal sacrifices for the cause also reminded me of another wonderful bit of Star Trek monologuing, from TNG’s “The Defector.”

This. Show.

Luthen’s speech was great. Stellan Skarsgard is just fantastic.

I don’t have much of a quarrel with this list — basically bumping a movie up and down a few paces is semantics — but I will stick up in defense of Iron Man 1's villains, or at least, Obidiah Stane, who is still one of my favorite MCU villains. What I really like about him is that, even though we the audience know he’s
