Speaking of Hitler movies, how about reviewing the satirical German Hitler movie "Look Who's Back"? It was released on Netflix recently. A.V. Club staff might not like it much (the book got a largely negative review on this site), but I did and think it's interesting enough to be worthy of a watch and review. I bet…

It should be "Ball's in Marvel's court", with "ball's" being a contraction of "Ball is". Otherwise it sounds like he's talking about testicles.

Been having a good time watching this show again recently. I love that they pointed out incompetence of the sentinels. That's one of my favourite running gags. After what inept dopes they often were on the show (my only X-Men knowledge prior to the movies), it was rather shocking to see them being so scarily…

Really? How could you forget "IF YOU BREAK HER HEART, I'LL BREAK YOUR NECK"? That's one of the all-time greatest manly macho action movie tough guy lines.

Nice timing, I just watched it for the first time, having recently caught up with this series. I liked the first and third ones, along with entries 5-7. A surprisingly consistent franchise, kind of like the original Star Trek movies. Couldn't get through 2 and 4. The second one isn't as fun without the dynamic of…

I don't know what he was like in the comics, but Apocalypse was pretty awesome and hilarious in the 1990s "X-Men" cartoon. The combination of grandiose, megalomaniac dialogue, delivered with relish by an enormously hammy John Colicos made him a hoot to watch. In a booming voice, he would say things like:

It's one of the only movies for which I'd say making no sense and being extremely incoherent is a virtue. I didn't know what the hell was going on, but I had a good time watching it. Some things are just entertaining even without understanding context of the story surrounding them.

Yes, those making "Suicide Squad" movies would be wise to look at the "Justice League: Unlimited" episode he co-wrote for inspiration.

What a beautiful drawing style…so pleasantly bright and reverent towards the characters. IMDB tells me co-wrote "Task Force X", one of the most clever and entertaining episodes of "Justice League: Unlimited". Obviously his talent was a boon to all of us who love those comic book characters as much as he clearly did.

It's nice to see some positive online comments about "Escape From L.A." for once. Watching this for the first time in a university sci-fi film class circa 2002, I thought it was very fun. Then I found out that Ebert seems to be the only other person who liked it. The amount of vitriol it has inspired really surprised…

Thank you for reminding me of that line. One of my favourites in movie history…and half the reason is how Stamp delivers it.

While we're talking classic movie monsters, don't forget Bela Lugosi's Dracula. I'm disappointed that I've had to attach the idea to this thread, because no one started him his own. *Sigh* He has to play second fiddle to Karloff yet again. Karloff? Sidekick? FOCK YOU!

I get what you mean. The difference for me is that I feel there was no need for another version of Zod after Stamp's because The Joker strikes me as a much more malleable character. As a result, it feels more natural to have different interpretations of him. I enjoy the versions by Hamill, Ledger, and Nicholson.

Yeah, I really think it was a stupid waste of time and money for Hollywood to have made any movies about Robin Hood in his prime after Errol Flynn played the part to perfection. The only exceptions are those with some quirky angle on Robin Hood's story like slapstick comedy ("Robin Hood: Men in Tights") or the Disney…

The only time I ever thought about this was when it was announced that General Zod would be in "Man of Steel". I was outraged. You just can't top Terrence Stamp in that role, just like Robert Patrick as T-1000 or any number of iconic movie villains that were a perfect marriage of performer and role.

Even in the later seasons of "That '70s Show", he was extremely muscular. I was re-watching it on Netflix recently and thinking how that's such a disconnect from his character.

That reminds me.

I didn't think it was a miscalculation because I've interpreted the scene differently. I believe it was just showing how deluded Johnny is to think that Darden is wrong and he HAS had a positive effect on society.

Brings back some horrible memories. I remember not being able to hear juror responses to "Is this your verdict?" because crying in the background was so loud.

Still a great moment of media grotesquerie that I'm glad was included. I don't mind them taking a bit of dramatic license to make an astute, appalling, and morbidly entertaining observation about the press like that.
