Okay, I’ve never heard of this but I’m more than a little intrigued. I wonder if I can get it locally.

I don’t mind the retcon either. My only complaint about it is that a lot of Chibnall’s stuff gets really derivative (the third Master-Cyberman team-up story in five years), and the retcon is clearly inspired by something planned for the original series back in the 80's at the time of its cancellation.

What? That’s insane! Surely they’d never use some, I dunno, magical reset button to make people forget he’s Spider-Man!

That’s fair. Also, I keep forgetting Top Ten is one of his, that’s one I’ve thought about reading but never gotten around to it because I’ve already got enough of a backlog.

Yes, please, let us have this milkshake duck for as long as we can.

I’m not defending DC, for the record. (I started by saying that he’s right about Geoff Johns.) And Moore has done some brilliant work. But I often feel that he’s overrated, both by himself and his fans, and there’s a lot wrong with comics storytelling as a whole that comes from people who read Watchmen, took the wrong…

Moore isn’t wrong about Johns, but maybe the guy who built an entire franchise out of taking other peoples’ public domain characters and making them fuck needs to get off his high horse.

It has a rough start, like a lot of shows. Keep going. It hits its stride soon enough.

Not gonna deny, I like some of their quirkier, more complicated flavors, but I had this one the first time around and I wasn’t terribly impressed.

Not gonna lie, you had me with the headline there. I was gonna grit my teeth and read the hot take I was dreading just to give you the benefit of the doubt. Glad I did, though. Thanks for that.

This is SUPER conveniently timed to allow him to have to call off from the next debate without having to seem like he’s backing down or refusing to participate. If he ends up getting through this with only mild symptom, I’ll have some serious suspicion that this may be fake. (Like 1% suspicion. I know other people all…

Yes, this. I saw it as a teenager when it came out, and this definitely captures the mood in my local theater.

I was 15 when this came out in theaters, and I remember seeing it opening day. I remember how they actually bumped up the release by a day or two at the last minute because they were anticipating so many people wanting to see it opening weekend. I still remember just being blown away as a kid by the ships, the scale…

Eventually Sam Jackson will hang up the eyepatch and they’ll reveal that Fury has a son -- also named Nick Fury, played by Hasslehoff -- and pass the role onto him.

I will always have a special place in my heart for the opening theme to the Conan cartoon. Also, IIRC, wasn’t it from an era where it was basically standard operating procedure to have every action cartoon opening sequence spell out the premise of the show in exhausting detail?

That’s more than fair, and I wholeheartedly agree about his ability to play in that tension. I was actually thinking, when I rewatched the sketch before making my comment, that Ferrell with his current level of experience would probably get a lot more out of it. I think that’s a big part of why my favorite performance…

That’s a solid point, usually SNL sketches (especially in that era, IIRC) get to the joke in the first 20 seconds and then just hammer you with it over and over.

Despite being a writer, I’m probably what most people consider an average/casual user, and LibreOffice does just fine for me.

Yeah, but wasn’t that planned? Whereas Claremont intended Madelyne Pryor’s whole deal to be “And Scott married a woman who’s a dead ringer for Jean (who is actually dead), quit the X-Men, and lived happily ever after, the end.” and it was whomever that came after that resurrected Jean, made Madelyne the Goblin Queen,…
