You should have demanded a sticker reading "Not!" be stuck next to the "quote" on every sleeve.

He's dead wrong about the MCU being a "creature feature" like Lavantula though. The MCU took off because they got people involved who had genuine affection for the material and wanted to do it well.

I give him points for saying it was just acting, and avoiding the temptation to say "Yep, that was really me. I really am that cool. And a different starlet every night. It just happens."

There are no small parts, just small actors, as the saying goes.

My point is that it "worked well" at the time. Whether it "holds up" is a separate question, which should take context into consideration, IMHO. It's a bit unfair (or at least uninteresting) to say something doesn't hold up without consideration of the context that more or less forced it to be exactly what it is.

You mean Flesh and Bone.

In the hunt for examples, I think you're a bit unfair to original Star Wars comic. In the context of the times, it was exactly what people wanted, a faithful recapitualation of the film.

Does the voice cast record separately as usual? Shouldn't the sound editor get credit for any comic timing?

He's also the champion of "Fair Play" which is, surprisingly, not a video DRM proposal.

Has Gawker done something illegal? Isn't that what the term "abetting" implies?

Appaarently, reporting something true if unsavory about a rich white guy is a terrible injustice that we should all give a shit about?

What was worse was than the silly but brief cave thing was that the Thor dream sequence was butchered to set up the cave scene. As I understand it, the original Thor nightmare was about Loki and Asgard.

Has anyone figured out the rhyme or reason of Cartoon Network's bizarre scheduling system?

Nitpick of the day:

He remembers the delicious taste of Soylent Green, and secretly regrets its removal from the market.

Perhaps that's what "Plomeek soup" is a euphemism for? No wonder Spock got upset when Chapel took it so literally.

If the Punisher is treated as a villain, and gets his ass kicked by Matt, then this will be another successful season.

Is there any doubt they are going to rip off a previous movie and/or classic episode(s) again.

I'm pretty sure that the whole "Spock has to return to Vulcan" thing was because that was where T'Pring lived. Don't take the salmon analogy too literally.

I don't know. It sounds a lot like Die Hard 2. Right down to the syrup thing.
