Of course. One wouldn't want to wear out the ol' index finger; miniature kickball season is always around the corner.

Patti LuPone! Patti LuPone! I'm for Patti LuPone appearing in everything, but Crazy Ex-Girlfriend sounds especially delightful.

Wait, is this supposed to count?

We do! And, of course, my obligatory second Ian McShane reference of the night. Hey, this is making me feel better already!

*Makes alarmingly literal growl*

I wish actors still had faces like the one above- just look at that picture, how much shit you can read on that gnarled face. Thank God we still have two actors left in the Carradine dynasty.

The world would be nicer if he had a Fuller face.

I'm pretty sure that bizarre Good Wife spinoff will be the least pirated show ever.

Correction- because of Ian McShane's involvement, the correct phrase is "Tell your American Gods to get ready for blood."

Quite true. The should probably just have cast Terry Crews. Terry Crews pleases everyone, right?

Tiny Santa is a pretty good idea, actually. You can have some fun with the proportion expectations, have some fresh physical comedy with the chimney. Stunt-casting, sure, but there's jolly to be had here.

Well… yeah, I know it's an opinion. Anything else?

I'd disagree, but I quite like Spider-Man 2 ("Raindrops" montage is the best)- my problems with it actually pertain to Dr. Octopus, who, while well-played by Alfred Molina, feels like a tangential conflict rather than a driving focus.

My response was probably too confrontational; I think The Dark Knight is a very good movie, just not an excellent movie, like Raimi's Spider-Man. And I agree that the chase is the more impressive stunt of the movie.

It's a bad costume, but I don't think it kills the film. Think of it as "Spider Man, the movie with the Sam Raimi montages, was better than The Dark Knight, the movie with the shitty action scenes".

Before Coney Island it was the Westchester Drumpfammus.

But, but… Tintin! And Carl Bark's Donald Duck! And Asterix! And EC Comics! And everything else wonderful in the world!

I really hope that David Milch actually meant that. David Milch probably meant that.

I still find the landscape fascinating, but usually when filtered through a revisionist viewpoint, which probably reached its peak in movies around Unforgiven, and in TV around Deadwood. There's still potential for great Westerns, but when an era ends…

The difference between the respective crazes you mentioned, Superheroes and Westerns, is that there has unfortunately been only one truly great superhero movie (Raimi's first Spider-Man) and a smattering of solid to very good ones (such as the The Dark Knight, and, no joke, Sky High). Of course it's a younger genre,…
