The MCU could do it right now. After the Thanos storyline is wrapped up, make the next Avengers film a Squadron Supreme flick. Get Armie Hammer (who was at one time going to play Superman in the George Miller Justice League) to play Hyperion. Heck, get Christian Bale to play Nighthawk.

I remember that scene. I always assumed it was because the Vette was too expensive to potentially wreck, so they substituted the Daytona hoping no one would notice.

I guess it was his membership in Second City, but I was always tickled that Canadian Candy always seemed like a perfect Chicagoan. Dan Aykroyd, too.

She got a lot of complements on the hyphen.

It makes people hostile. Just the sight of it.

I thought so at the time, but having watched it again recently, I think having lousy actors acting lousy was intentional.

Still, Michael Ironside.

Heck, he's old enough to run for President. He might as well just do that.

I just caught Starship Troopers again on Starz and it completely holds up. The special effects still look great and the gore is peak-Verhoeven. Plus, Michael Ironside. As always.

The only thing that doesn't ring true is Dina Meyer constantly throwing herself at a vapid drip like Casper Van Dien, particularly as he

Realism is vastly overrated in a film like this. All I require is some internal consistency and that the characters (heroes anyway) don't act like complete idiots. Aside from that, sky's the limit.

We really shook the pillars of Heaven, didn't we Wang?

Some years ago at my local megamart, I discovered Concord grape jam. It tastes the same as grape jelly, but is much easier to spread. I've never looked back.

Rebel, you say? Perhaps.

American Flagg! by Howard Chaykin. From the defunct First Comics.

Boy, this thing has totally come out of left field. And the ads have done it no favors. It's the funniest new show I've seen since Brooklyn 99. I really hope NBC gives it room to find its audience, because I could watch Sherri Shepherd laugh at tragedy for hours. "I saw the light leave her eyes!"

Many of the restaurant versions I've seen include peas. I don't know where that started, but it needed to be strangled in the crib.

My first recipe for the dish actually came out of a comic book in the 80s. The main character would cook various dishes in the stories, and the creator always included the recipe in the

Believe it or not, Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard are still alive, though in their 80s.

"Who never ever learned to read or write so well.."

Great and grammatically correct.

No exaggeration to call him one of the pillars of modern music. A true titan. We're losing too many of them lately.

OUCH! Cruel, but fair.
