plus toys. They don’t have to pay licensing fees for an IP they own so they’re not gonna get rid of it anytime soon.

Saban was cheap and since their was no union, he got away with not paying the ranger actors enough money.

Damn, I miss a new Venture Bros season coming out every 5.25 yrs.

‘You’re not ghosts! You’re the fucking Boys from Brazil!’ gets me every time

Amen!

Every “Historically beloved series, but cynical or inverted” has already been done - and been done better - by The Venture Brothers.

“Better Thank Hank”

Renfield and Guillermo need to team up to make superteam.

This isn’t a fumble, this is a coaching change. It’s a shame Cavill was wasted as supes, but good fucking riddance to the whole Snyderverse era.

It’s great really. WB has always been wishy washy about putting an end to the Snyder shenanigans since back with MOS. And here Gunn is putting his foot down and saying that’s all over and done with. No more Snyder slop.

Lena Headey as gender-flipped Parker?

Aubrey Plaza would be a great Dortmunder 

I wish Johnson would do a movie based on Donald Westlake’s Dortmunder. Hot Rock is the only good one, and it’s over fifty years old.

My feelings exactly. No matter who did that cut, it was doomed to failure. It just happened to be him...and his bullshit

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: between Joss Whedon’s clusterfuck and Zack Snyder’s clusterfuck, there is a decent 2hr movie in there for some brave soul to go and cut out of it.

One of the more interesting defenses of Snyder comes from Matt Zoller Seitz, a critic I follow and generally admire. His take on Snyder’s JL was that if you’re looking for a comics-friendly take on the characters, a la Marvel, then you’re out of luck. But as a work of auteurist cinema, in the sense of a filmmaker…

I’ve got a soft spot for Crisis on Infinite Earths. The actual story was a disappointment, especially after all the build up, but it got a lot of points with me on sheer audacity. Partially because of the cameos, partially for the attempt to do it in the first place, and partially for having Lex literally rewrite…

Joss Whedon is a writer’s director: he is more well known for his witty and sharp writing than he is for any directorial choices.

Here’s the TL;DR of the Slate article, to save everyone time: Vance is a lost little boy looking for daddy.

Okay but does it answer whether the hierarchy of power in the DC universe has changed?
