I didn’t much like the scene—since it was added on & not in the books. But I didn’t really care—much.

Superman was “corn-fed.” Captain America wasn’t. In 2013, Steven Attewell went back to the original comics to answer right-wing critics who found the new Cap too “politically correct.”

Ah, part of Benedict Arnold’s fleet. (As a merchant before the war, he had considerable maritime experience. During the Revolution, he asked to be transferred to the Navy. Perhaps he would have done better in command of his own vessel. And if he hadn’t meant that minx Peggy Shippen.)

I watched the first episodes of Gotham while waiting for Sleepy Hollow to begin. Was that the 2nd season of the show that had started out so well? There was lots of TV yelling from my couch that year...

So they can watch on Yahoo. Which will send some of its earnings to Hulu.

“babycakes”?

Even back in high school, I was underwhelmed by The Fountainhead. But the movie (with Gary Cooper, Raymond Massey & the beautiful Patricia Neal) is a Camp Classic. With no piece of the stylish Art Deco sets left unchewed!

Dave van Ronk wrote of his experiences in the Village as the 50's turned to the 60's, as hipsters turned to beats & he became a bluesy folk singer & explored the non-Stalinist bits of Leftist politics in various places like the Libertarian Center:

Don’t forget the Tariffs!

Houston here. We had a really wet Spring—if you avoided the flooding, at least the highs were reasonable. For Houston. All flood danger is gone & we’re settling into a Typical Houston Summer. At least everything is air conditioned.

Ah, but nobody is going to fuck those losers living in Mom’s basement. That’s their problem....

Your very first post as “youcuntseeme.” How special....

Katrina’s part was badly written even in season 1. Katia wasn’t the strongest actress but she her role was incoherent: patriot, spy, Quaker, nurse, witch, wife, mother, Quaker in arranged marriage with a non-Quaker....

I think he has a contract. He also has a wife & a new kid. But I’m betting he’s hoping things end. And I hope he finds a worthwhile gig....

Don’t forget Orlando Jones! Abbie was the absolutely essential co-lead, due to the insane chemistry between her & Ichabod. Jennie & Frank went beyond “supporting characters”—good in action scenes & also showing comedy chops.

Except that the actress playing Betsy Ross was truly dreadful. Playing someone born in the 18th century? Katia was better...

I quite enjoyed the first season. It wasn’t perfect—Crane’s wife, stuck in Purgatory, was written incoherently & the actress was not up to the standards of the rest of the cast. The Horseman didn’t need to be in every episode—he was one of the Four Horsemen & the overall plot dealt with the Apocalypse., with some…

Beards exist in one well-known alternate Trek.

Apparently the Commonwealth Heritage Group is doing the work in Philadelphia. It seems that archaeologists & allied professionals have figured out how to earn some money with their degrees.

So you could have skipped this (rather long) article. Instead, you read it & cared enough to complain....
