I’d consider trying this if I didn’t hate having to watch movies with other people who don’t silence their phones even after being specifically reminded by a giant on-screen ad or who check their Facebook with a blindingly bright smart phone in the middle of a movie. There’s only a few movies I will go see in theaters

I would expect that in Avengers 4 there will still be some throw away line where Scott explains how he got to the quantum realm

So, nothing about the only one that was actually so important it was played in full in the next film, in the first Ant Man no less?

I don’t understand why everyone seems to be crediting Marvel with creating these post credit scenes. They were already being done before Iron Man. The one that immediately popped into my mind was the post-credit scene at the end of 2006's X-Men: The Last Stand that hinted that...

:) I rewatched Johnny Mnemonic about 10-15 years ago and laughed when he said he could carry 80 gb (or whatever it was) in his head because at the time I had the 160 gb iPod.

When Mission Impossible came out, I probably would have liked it more if it didn’t so casually crap on Jim Phelps, the hero of the TV show for six seasons, by suddenly making him a bad guy.

I haven’t read through all the comments so I don’t know if anyone else brought this up, but I was surprised that Remo Williams: the Adventure Begins didn’t make it in the Honorable Mention list. I remember liking it a lot as a 15 year old. I don’t know how well it holds up today. But it was The Destroyer...on the big

I’m like a year behind on the show and just watched The Sin-Eaters a couple of days ago. Because AV Club doesn’t include either the show number or the show title in their list of recaps you have to read that opening paragraph summary just to figure out which recap is which. Which pissed me the F off when I went

Jesus. Thanks for putting the spoiler right in the GD main episode list description. I came here after watching the previous episode and was reading through the list looking for The Sin-Eater description (since, you know, you don’t include the episode title or number to make it easy) and right there, big as day,

(I’m a season behind, so I’m just now reading these comments for the first time. )

I’m late to the party. I’m just getting around to watching season 4. The first act of the three really reminded me of the old 1983 movie Brainstorm, at least until it went dark. :)

When Commander Sisko shaved his head and grew his goatee on DS9 I was like “Hawk is back!!” :)

And no love for Enos, spun off to the Big City, for a single 18-episode season? :D

Thanks for the link. I just made a general top-level comment about how Melrose Place wasn’t really a “spin-off” since it wasn’t really spinning off a popular character and how Jake’s appearance on 90210 wasn’t even really a “backdoor pilot” as such.

I thought Angel was a great spin-off for the first few seasons but when they went from “case of the week” format to the heavily serialized format I didn’t like it as much. Plus the behind-the-camera drama with Charisma Carpenter’s pregnancy didn’t help.

Re: Models, Inc. and Melrose Place, I always thought there should be a different term than “spin-off” to describe a stand-alone show that gets shoe-horned into a popular show for an episode or two just to justify a “connection” to lure audiences over. I mean, was Grant Snow a “breakout character” on Beverly Hills

While “Joker as demented artist” makes so little sense and had almost nothing to do with the comics incarnation, I find myself very taken with the homicidal artist line and its follow up, “I make art until people die.”

Wasn’t there a whole plotline about the Joker contaminating personal hygiene products, or did I dream that?

I think the only time I bought multiple issues was when I bought both copies of the Spider-Man wedding issue. :)
