I’m not sure if you’re serious in asking this question, or what kind of answer you’re looking for.

I mean it might fit with the Joker’s mercurial nature (putting it mildly) to always be applying different temporary tats, or none at all, depending on his mood.

I’m REALLY not a fan of Snyder’s DC but Leto’s Joker (tattoos and all) didn’t bother me.

Yep. Ditto.

Reminder that mass shootings used to be pretty rare even in the US.

Letterman hit my sweet spot of celebrating entertainment while tearing it down.

He resolutely WANTED to provide good television, even as he knew (or at least felt) that that was an empty, frivolous pursuit.

Hence this bit, which remains one of the dumbest, and at the same time greatest, things I’ve ever seen on TV:

I mean - up to a point? But that glosses over the fact that videos were made to promote albums (and therefore meant to be noticed), and that videos pretty quickly came to be recognized as potential works of art in their own right. (Really, they had gone in that direction even before MTV came along.)

“Do all races get a honest assessment and inventory of their sins both original and ongoing? Does each race get a month to lay bare and apologize for all of the horrible things it did?”

Only the ones with the most power and history of using it to horrific ends.

I’ve never seen “Ridiculousness”, but from the description here, and looking around at what’s going on in the US culturally and societally, it sounds like the sort of thing people can just leave on in the background while they do other things (including looking at the Internet), occasionally turning their attention to…

Regardless of that, I wanna know who the “aerospace engineer” Rambeau called is.

I was wondering if Reed Richards was gonna show up, but he’s more of a physicist, I think?

OK - I feel like that staircase with the stained glass window is a VERY SPECIFIC reference to another sitcom set and I can’t place it.

A lot of people are saying “Family Ties” but I’ve checked and that doesn’t seem right.

Thanks - I appreciate that.

I’m not a parent so I was just curious!

Sorry, I misunderstood.

But I’m also curious which of the MCU movies weren’t OK for your kids?

It seems unlikely Marvel/Disney are going to put anything in these shows that’s harder than what was in the movies.

If the movies are OK for your kids, these should be.

“The laugh track is even more intrusive this week, providing guffaws when none are justified”

Well, that was how laugh tracks were, TBH.

For me, it wasn’t even the continuity so much as the fact that a lot of that continuity was dumb and pointless. :/

Honestly, bullshit turns like this are a big part of the reason I stopped reading open-ended ongoing monthly comics in the early 90s... and it happened through the X-Men franchise titles I was reading, though the problem was endemic to a lot of titles from many houses.

The combination of meandering plotlines punctuated…

I think it’s one of the most finely crafted US movies ever. Absolutely no exaggeration.

The original “King Kong vs Godzilla”. ;)

Precisely.

I mean, “Hannibal” centered on a character who is nigh-universally known, with characters who had also appeared with him in multiple movies.

Nobody watched it.

We’re damn lucky we got three seasons of it.

Sorry, HardCount - the neoliberal mob has spoken.

“Fuller seems difficult to work with, but networks never seem to get that giving him wide berth creates interesting shows for them”

Interesting shows that don’t necessarily bring in viewers.
