Ha, same for me but instead of the Blues Brothers, it’s Minnie Driver singing in a ridiculous Russian accent in Goldeneye.

Getting these (and the accompanying storybook) to use in my classroom. We just started a space unit and this is perfect!

If I recall correctly, the Wes Craven Swamp Thing did this as well, though it wasn’t the original plan. I think the stuntman and actor Ray Wise wound up look so drastically different from one another when they were both in makeup that they wound up just having the stuntman (Dick Durock) do all of the Swamp Thing…

The “teach me english” thing is likely a reference to the recurring Spider-man segment on the 1970s educational kids program The Electric Company.

I had the good fortune of seeing the stage play in London and it stayed with me for a good long time. Terrifying and thought provoking in ways I was not expecting, it scared me the way movies used to scare me when I was a kid. I’m not sure that a movie will be able to capture the eeriness of being in the same room as…

I could tell just from the pic that this was going to be character actress Margo Martindale. This is such a brilliant piece of casting. Her character on Justified was basically just a human version of Ma Beagle; a criminal matriarch whose ambitions are often thwarted by the incompetence and infighting of her henchman…

This takes me from 0 to 3. I think the only thing that will get me past a 3 would be if we got some New Gods stuff thrown in there. Actually, is it too late to just scrap this and just get a New Gods show?

I feel like this kind of thing makes business sense for Netflix. A series with a definite ending- even one that came sooner than expected- is going to have more rewatch value and be more of a draw to new subscribers than one that ends on an eternally unresolved cliffhanger. They should do this for every show they…

Wonder Woman looks a lot like Rebecca Hall in that gif, and now that’s a casting choice that I never knew that I desperately needed to see.

The Herculoids had a bit of minor resurrection recently in the comic book miniseries Future Quest, which was a really well done story that merged all of the old Hanna-Barbara action cartoons like Herculoids, Johnny quest and Space Ghost into one awesome universe.

Never thought I’d see Ken Liu and Griffin McElroy right next to each other on any kind of list, let alone in a Star Wars anthology. Really exciting talent involved here.

I was hoping that the Kirby DC character would be one of the Challengers of the Unknown. It’s never the Challengers. :(

I’d actually be really happy if Creature was the Captain America 1 of the series. Set the whole thing in 1954, and then end it with a stinger of the creature alive in modern day, being transported to America or recruited by the mummy or whatever this franchise is going to be about.

I’ve also been waiting for this to happen since I was a kid. My one hope for it is that, like Peter Jackson’s King Kong, it’s set in the same year that the original was released (in this case 1954). I love sci-fi movies that are also period pieces.

“Why don’t you just put the whole world in a bottle?”

I once fell 20 feet of a ski lift and, though the skis absorbed much of the impact, I still broke both of my heels. So I vote yes, he should be a thick red goo on the jungle floor.

On a semi-related note, does anyone here have any recommendations about which of the cartoon series (past or present) are worth checking out? I’ve heard some good things about one or two of them, but there’s so many and they all have such generic names and I can’t keep track of what’s supposed to be good, and what is…

I couldn’t make it through 2 or 3, but something about 4 really clicked for me and I enjoyed the hell out of it. I still don’t know what the difference was. It would be easy to say it was the lack of LeBeouf, but I think 4 just felt sharper and cleaner and more focused. It was still idiotic, but it was a type of…

I liked the “Do not attempt, unless you are in a dystopian, Monstar-ruled reality” disclaimer during the spray-painting scene at the end.
