Hell I once had to yell across a crowded carriage to give my seat up to a pregnant lady when none of the 12 people sitting between us did. I also yelled to get all of their attention so they would feel like arseholes.

He was such a ham! I miss that crazy, cheesy showmanship. He was a Frenchman who loved American movies, and it was adorable. I think his Godfather routine was in Albertville. I think I prefer the D'Artagnan routine, with it's mimed swordfights. The gauntlets really excuse all the flowery hand-flicks.

I'm guessing that you will learn better habits if you have to work hard for everything you have. Not so much if you have everything handed to you, and all of your "accomplishments" are really because of Daddy's connections, a la legacy students at prestigious schools, great internships/jobs, etc. This idea that poor…

Can we also just point out that sometimes personality traits lead to attractiveness? I've seriously only ever dated one guy to whom I was physically attracted at first sight. No, you're not going to date someone who you find ugly. But your personality can make you more attractive. Physically, even. If you make me…

I love the assholes in cars. Put them on the street and they wouldn't say boo to a squirrel, but as soon as they're inside a moving vehicle with locked doors they grow the biggest set of balls.

OH MY GOD! He's Mr. Ed! Mr. Ed wants to date you!

I'm of two minds regarding Menzel in this movie.

I had only just worked this out and I'm so freaking proud of myself. I was 12 and thought she was just the coolest.

Lost in Space Move!....Hello is this on?

Yeah, this was basically my face the instant the headline showed up:

Aside from being a chuckle head in Super Friends, Aquaman is so unfairly treated by everyone. Everybody rags on him because he can communicate with sea life but that's actually a pretty badass power if you think about it for more than 2 seconds. Dude convinced a whale to crush Namor in that one crossover.

Have you seen Thor? I'm pretty sure that question makes the rest of my argument redundant but fuck it. They put Thor in the Marvel universe with no hiccups and did just fine piling on tons of odd lore and weird costumes.

Kayone74: I think you're overestimating the degree to which moviegoers expect live-action films to be entrenched in the "real world." Last time I checked, some of the biggest box-office hits out there involved:

Her story is silly, but you can say that for most superheroes. The real problem is that DC, due to the success of the Nolan Batman films, really wants to push the "dark and edgy" thing.

I thought the same thing about Thor but was pleasantly surprised with how they pulled it off. But it might not have worked if Thor had been introduced in say Iron Man 2.

Couldn't disagree more. They all sound silly. Super Man? Spider Man? Bat Man? Iron Man? Captain America? Captain Marvel? (And yes, I know I'm not hyphenating some or combining others, that's intentional). The silly name is the least of the issues with super heroes and yet many characters have had very successful…
