Look up videos of her Broadway stuff, so amazing a performer no matter the role. Especially Young Frankenstein, Shrek and Anything Goes.
And I'm a Bunheads fan through and through, a tragedy ABC Family canned it.

Has the AV Club done a "trailer far better then their movies" list? Seems obvious.

This is, seriously, one of the absolute best Draculas ever put on film. Look at the scene of him marching across the town square, brushing off cops and killing them without even looking at them, just ants to him, freaky as hell and I loved it.

You know a movie is a true cult classic when the Blu-Ray has a "making of" doc that's longer than the actual film.

This is close…

It's in the "Victory" arc.

Green Arrow and Hawkeye always doing an archery contest. Vision and Red Tornado talking families. Rick Jones and Snapper Carr helping Jarvis out in the kitchen. The sight of the 70s Batman who was more the friendly guy hanging with everyone. Glorious.

The best part of that is DCU Marvel is punching Ronan the Accuser while the MU Marvel is punching Black Adam.

Avengers/JLA Compendium, so worth tracking down.

I was so glad it was Busiek. Waid or Loeb or (lord help us) Millar would have packed it with too many jokes and too much snark. Busiek nailed the perfect tone of classic comic book action and drama.

Track down the special two-volume "Absolute" edition. First, bigger pages to enjoy Perez's spreads. Second, a secondary volume with background info including:
* The original 22 pages made for the 1983 crossover and why it wasn't finished.
* The synopsis for the event with an interesting idea for issue three of the DCU

They did a nice bit in Astro City of Samaritan and the Confessor doing a battle, Confessor holding his own thanks to mystic runes but then acknowledging he'd get beaten easily. He just wanted to fight as "guy like me can't be seen just backing down to a guy like you."

Plus the now-funny bit of Cap in the Batcave seeing Jason Todd's uniform and "you…lost a partner too?"
Awesome mini, especially Hawkeye getting the joke we'd waited years for, calling the JLA a "Bunch of Squardon Supreme wanna-bes!"

The Flash's Rogues would have a serious word with you on that.

Agents Spinning Their Wheels

Batman was smart and capable but in a human way for the '80s and '90s. It was in JLA that Grant Morrison basically took the idea of "give him a day and Batman can take down Galactus" and suddenly writers go with it with his backup plans to take down any other hero easily and such and it gets out of hand. Because the

So we know Vaughn is now more evil than Blaine, right? I mean, having a guy killed around the world for an internet comment is one thing but letting his own daughter get eaten? Wow.

Opal City?
Oh, please….please, show, I'll do anything if you bring in the Shade, please.

Plus showcases the ego of Luthor when a computer study shows Clark and Superman are the same guy but Luthor refuses to believe anyone with Superman's power would pretend to be a "weak normal man."

I do remember a great episode of Lois and Clark where Red K gives Lois super-powers and she becomes a crimefighter. She's at the Planet, worried about Perry and Jimmy recognizing her but they don't.
Lois; "How can they not see it? It's only a stupid mask! They work with me every single day, how can they not look past
