Hey, chill out, man! No need to give me the cold shoulder.

Captain Cold is a delight in this show, plain and simple. The fact that he actually wears the parka is just ICE-ing.
Giant Days looks great. It makes Allison's decision to cancel Bad Machinery more bearable knowing he's freed up for these kinds of projects. It'd be cool if he also did the reverse and illustrated for someone else's writing.
This is probably the first time I've ever thought a show just got worse the more it added new, wacky characters to the cast.
At this rate, by season 2 we'll have a parade of C-list celebs regularly stepping out of cars in Tuscon like a modern Fantasy Island.
Tina must have one if the best collections of absurd, non sequitur daydreams this side of Doug Funnie. (Incidentally, I could totally see her using the pseudonym Patti Mayonnaise in one of said sequences)
So sad. Pratchett books were one of the only things my dad and I had to bond over when I was a teenager and we still share Discworld injokes when we have nothing else to say.
That's pretty far out, man!
I usually try to stay positive and not harp on how lame modern Simpsons sometimes is…but the extended Wiggum with a Jetpack thing is one of the flattest, dumbest, and , yes, lamest jokes ever.
If it had been a ten second throwaway, maybe. Maybe.
There's probably one more man left alive, not dead…no, just a head, lost and lonely at seeeeeea…!
Hopefully Gotham will be gritty enough to finally explore young Lucius Fox's moonlighting career as chiseled stripper Luscious Fox.
I wish Star Trek would explore the concept of smaller ships. If most depicted ships are the equivalent of carriers and freighters and battleships, then what does a galactic sailboat look like? Or a rowboat? Or kayak?? C'mon, some dude "paddling" alone across the cosmos would be classic Trek
It's interesting how fast these days a concept can become considered cliche. "Robots that feel" only date back in broad popculture a few decades at best, while the very concept of robots at all is relatively very new. We've told and reinvented and retold the same stories about gods and kings for centuries, and as soon…
Not sassy enough for modern audiences. Same reason Melissa McCarthy will probably play the wardrobe.
…and featuring Ricky Gervais as Cogsworth! And Rupert Grint as Chip! (It was the best Emma could swing for him)
We did the same to some of our cheap army dudes, which made their rubber band guts brittle and snapped the poor suckers in half when we smashed the ice or forced them to backflip too soon after thawing.
The horror…the horror…
Ah Independence Day. My friend had a rubbery little toy of one of the aliens we liked to put in cups of water and freeze solid.
Then there was the time my grandpa bought a VHS of the movie for my siblings and I to watch, but it literally melted on his dashboard before he got it home.
Modern kids probably won't have…
Obviously the movie will devote an hour or two of Vin plodding around in a Clio, mopping up the French circuits and Hot Hatches races until he has enough credits to buy a Viper or something.
Then he wins a Grand Prix with a Honda van.
I love the idea of a movie that opens with Vin Diesel growling to his ragtag pit crew, "We got ourselves a used Miata here, folks…the Sunday Cup is ours! And once we drop a basic turbo in the bitch, the Japanese Compact circuit better watch their asses!"
Fingers crossed that the show comes back from hiatus with a noticeably chubbier Penguin, who's been gorging himself on rich Italian (mob) food. Then every season they add another few layers of foam to the fatsuit til he's properly portly and Devito-esque.
(The buzz saw umbrella may be harder to incorporate subtly)
Smithers' cute little island fantasies almost make his crush on Mr. Burns palatable. Almost.
On the other hand, hasn't he deserved to move on and have relationships outside of that basic premise for a couple of decades by now?
