Yes it was.

Almost exactly.

Here's a few lines from how I imagine the movie will go:

Dumb as a bottle of dirt? Charlie, my father was a bottle of dirt. And he had his MBA and everything. I was actually going to take him to see MI:4 but he got in a fight with my mother and she dumped him down the sink.

Interesting. I've always thought that Moffat's stories had a sexist tinge, especially with Jekyll and Coupling - they often boiled down to creaky old notions about men and women and their differences. You can see some of it in Who as well. But there's so much more to Moffat's work than that.

I think it's about Batman and Bane becoming friends and opening a golf course together. It's a substantial investment, but I think they've got the funds and the business savvy to make it work.

You're going to have to expand on that one a bit. Because hyperbole aside, the only moral equivalent of a rape camp is probably another rape camp. And I'm kind of curious about that level of objection to Moffatt's term on Who.

"It's mortal men and women chasing funding dollars, eager to hype everything out of proportion in exchange for headlines and tenure."

That is excellent.

I was about to be upset until you said Rob Liefeld. Then I got the joke.

I'm assuming that Andrew Stanton has made a much better movie than this trailer implies.

She could certainly deliver the wisecracks with the best of them.

I love Kristen Bell. If Hollywood were smarter they'd give her more to do than play dress-up doll or romcom lead. Forgetting Sarah Marshall is probably the closest she's gotten to playing a genuine character since Veronica Mars.

Yup, I know who David Attenborough is. I just watched the clip without knowing the context, and the narrator sounded more like Hurt than Attenborough for some reason. When @Chaffro pointed it out, I was all like "of course" and "duh" and "brinicle."

Then I have yet to hear John Hurt say "brinicle." Maybe I should write him.

That sounds like John Hurt. I did not think I'd ever hear John Hurt say "brinicle."

It's an incredibly drawn-out multi-season gag that runs on us!

That's a total "springing into action" pose.

Since the position of his arms probably doesn't affect Superman's flying ability, I think he should hold them at his sides as he flies. Or better yet, just let them dangle and flap uselessly. Even better, he should let all his limbs go limp and fly around as if he were wearing an invisible harness. Best of all:

I think I'm mostly impatient because I'm a fan of the comics and I want them to get to the next part of the story (comics: rewarding ADHD since forever). What I should probably do is relax and let the show move at its own pace. That said, I wish they had more of a budget to play with this season.
