This, this, a hundred times this. Yes, Superman has the weight of being God on his shoulders, but it doesn’t bother him as much because he’s Clark Kent from Kansas, who knows he’s here to do as much good as he can for as many people as he can do it for.

Byrne got this right. Clark Kent isn’t a disguise Superman…

The hand-behind-his-head dunk, right?
Wasn’t he semi-famous for that?

Oh, I definitely agree with that. But it’s also fair to say that Vince’s dad and granddad had done the hard yards of actually building the company up to a point where Vince could buy them out and go national.

Mostly. The WBF and XFL were risky, but not Wrestlemania/taking-your-product-national risky.

And they gave us all-time great unintentional comedy!

None of this surprises me. Vince is pretty much a GOP wet dream:

Fuck yeah. This.

I’m a Virginian, and sure, we made gains this year because Trump is a dumpster fire of unheard-of proportions.

But we also made gains because people got involved and RAN for stuff.
Not just that, but they were willing to contest districts and run against people who hadn’t been opposed in years.

Dems…

Way back in ‘97, I lived in an NFC East house for my senior year of college. We had 4 Skins fans (the school was in Virginia), 2 Eagles fans, and a Cowboys fan.

One day, the louder of the Eagles fans piped up.

“Eagles-Skins and Eagles-Cowboys just as big as Cowboys-Skins.
So why does everyone always talk about…

One of those “Jesus, you HAVE to see this in a theater with a great sound system” action flicks. Watching it onscreen is exhausting in all the right ways.

I’ve heard some skeptics complain that the movie’s just one long car chase.
To them I reply: so the fuck what?

I still get nerd chills reading that. Never tell Cap the odds.

So far, The Punisher hasn’t exactly been big on laughs, but the sandwich scene with Frank and Micro was fucking hilarious.

Frank’s wounded pout at not getting a sandwich was funny as hell.
As well as his single-mindedness about cleaning his guns and not, you know, checking the fridge.

Wow, Will. This is fantastic.

Every time I think I’ve seen the most interesting possible version of this feature, you find something to top it.

The Last Picture Show, Paper Moon, History of the World, Blazing Saddles, Chinatown, Magnum P.I.

Not a bad CV to be remembered by.

Of all the characters on the show, I always identified with Gordon the most.

I get to make stuff for a living. Sometimes I’m good at it. Sometimes I’m not.
But it’s so easy to see and understand all that frustration and anxiety and insecurity mixed into his character.

How it drove him, and how it drove him to somewhat…

Paul as Richard Spencer-lite was brilliant, especially with the throwaway punch-a-Nazi gag. Yes, Paul’s usually a sympathetic character, but yeah, it’s a good commentary on what kind of guys become MRA guys.

Boone seems like a much more together version of Jimmy: quick-witted, funny, but less narcissistic and a lot…

“Weasel” really was perfect for Heenan. He wasn’t pure evil: he was loathsome, but also a coward—someone who’d sucker-punch you and then go and hide behind Haku or Arn Anderson—which really just made the crowd hate him even more.

But he was funny, too! And that made him lovable on some level. And like every villain (at…

I read an advance copy of this over a weekend.

The first one only gets a warning, anyway.

Wow. Fantastic piece, Roberto.

Excellent writing, especially with all the perspective that those of us from north of the border might miss.

The tone of this article really is nothing less than these morons deserve.

I loved reading BKV’s run because the characters felt so real. They were making it up as they went along, like teenagers who didn’t have any adults to guide them might actually do.

The main action in the book was watching these kids grow up. It was deviously sneaky like that.
