The Cape? Cupid?

A show of which this very site constantly compared to Lookwell during it’s original run. The key difference of course being that The Grinder had ludicrously low stakes, and was about an actor who portrayed a crusading lawyer, whereas Lookwell was about an actor who used to portray a Detective, so the stakes were…

Fillion carried that show, just as he’s carried every other show he’s starred in. Can you imagine Firefly without him? No. Because he was that whole show.

Lucifer is also terrible, just a different, more watchable as a guilty pleasure sort of terrible. Regardless of anything, they’re all shows my aunt and uncle will end up watching religiously at some point.

Lookwell, the show you just described is called Lookwell and was a pilot starring Adam West, about a former TV detective who was deluded enough to believe he could solve actual crimes. Apparently Conan O’Brien and Robert Smigel had more self awareness than the Castle creators to realize that such a premise worked…

Wow, nothing like critics believing that two guys can’t be close friends without wanting to fuck each other, stereotypical views on gender roles were alive and well back then I guess. I personally always just saw it as two guys who have known each other since they were in diapers realizing that this is probably going…

The concept remains as interesting now as it was when Takashi Miike used it as a minor subplot in Zebraman 2, and almost equally as poorly utilized. That premise allows for a billion different story possibilites, you can tell stories with different themes, different stakes, different tones. Yet all these seem to be…

Well, that and from a budgetary standpoint home invasion thrillers are substantially cheaper to make than a "get through the city and survive the night" type of film.

Hilary Swank in Boys Don't Cry? Or do we also hate that movie now too?

Wait...WHAT?!

The Herr Starr stuff is actually one of the funniest running gags for me (the cannibal rednecks part was a bit much though) the scene with him trying on hats is comedy gold.

Fucking thank you, Butcher's story ends with him becoming the thing he purportedly hated throughout the series, and Ennis doesn't shy away from showing how pathetic he is in the very end.

Again, maybe actually reading someone’s comment instead of just posting something to angrily stir up shit would be helpful? I clearly stated that he’s a “have your cake and eat it too” kind of writer. The characters get bad ass tough guy moments, but the endings to most of those stories recontextualize those…

Not in the context the review used, no. Because a lot of it is very much "Your mileage may vary" which I thought I made pretty clear in my original comment when I stated there are parts of it that don't work for me.

I strongly disagree, none of the “Strong men” he has written over the course of his career are anything approaching what I feel he would consider something to be unreservedly admired or praised, Butcher in The Boys is very clearly a homicidal sociopath, who while having his heart in the right place on many matters is…

Dillon didn’t draw all of Origins, and it was penned by Daniel Way. Ennis and Dillon (R.I.P.) were frequent collaborators, similar to Loeb and Sale as you mentioned (who have also done work outside of the partnership) or like, Sean Phillips and Ed Brubaker, some artists and writers just click. Dillon and Ennis met…

I don’t think it’s fair to refer to the comic as having “faults”, and I say that as someone who has their share of reservations and issues with the jarring tonal shifts. The simple fact of the matter is that Ennis and Dillon made the exact book they had wanted to make, a jarring tonal mash-up of all kinds of shit that…

Dreamworks likes to tout that the Farley version “wasn’t working” but if that’s the case, I don’t think it would have been because of Farley. The one scene they put out of his performance shows that he was putting his all into the role, and it’s especially moving (as it was the “They just see a monster” scene) when…

There aren’t that many plus sized Women in film comedy for that to be a thing, which of course speaks to Hollywood’s cruel standards for women in film, off the top of my head I can only think of Melissa McCarthy and Rebel Wilson compared to the numerous heavy set or schlubby men who pop up in comedies. I’m not going…

It’s no more unbelievable than any other comedy couple over the years, it’s been a well worn trope since at least Jacky Gleason in the Honeymooners.
