Tuco was the same...

Really enjoying this show but Turturro’s Bengelsdorf accent is so jarringly out-of-place that it takes me out of the story. He’s an excellent actor, of course, but a rabbi with not just a Southern drawl but full on Foghorn Leghorn accent is bizarre.

I haven’t seen the new version of DuckTales but, watching this, it is extremely disconcerting for me to see Donald Duck with a normal voice...

So...don’t believe the hype?

I enjoyed it but thought it could have been done better. I really disliked the ending. Either kill him off or don’t. Don’t emotionally manipulate us into thinking he’s dead and then pull something off at the end to show us “Hey, everyone! Jean-Luc is OK!” I hate those type of endings. It’s fucking lazy.

The Federalist publishes Andy Ngo. That tells me all I need to know about them.

Similar process and ingredients, different results. What your Cypriot friend makes is a frappe. It’s like a foamy iced latte.

I’m uncomfortable with the term “spidophile”...

Isn’t there a Nnedi Okorafor “Who Fears Death” adaptation coming?

I could watch an entire movie of Harrison Ford acting against a guy in a mo-cap suit acting as a dog. But I have zero interest in Call of the Wild with a CGI dog.

Why Indiana Jones again? There are still other classic movies that he hasn’t made unnecessary sequels for. What about Fugitive 2? Witness 2? The Mosquito Coast 2. 

Look, I’m no Rockefeller, but unless you’re very poor and desperate, why eat those horrible supermarket apples? Why not just forgo apples until they’re in-season and buy them locally like the treat they are?

This is The Takeout, not The Food Lab. Both sites are great but fill different niches.

Automan...

After Waititi’s “Thor: Ragnarok” compared to previous Thor movies, is there any question?

I’ll check it out, but to be honest, I didn’t like the take on Harley Quinn in “Suicide Squad”. Nothing against Margot Robbie, she’s clearly very talented. But the depiction seemed more slutty than daffy like B:TAS. I know this is for adults and is ‘gritty’ but meh.

The difference, though, is that that’s Marvel Studios. They have Kevin Feige and they hire great writers who can take D-list characters and turn them into great movies.

Out of curiosity, why are they called the Sussexes when their family name is Windsor?

Also, the Ezra Miller cameo reminds me of just how much I hate the “Justice League” Flash’s costume/armor. It makes absolutely no sense. At superspeed, those metal panels will just, like, fly off. I don’t know. I just think it looks like shit.

The Ezra Miller cameo is emblematic of the entire “Crisis” series. Just random fan servicey appearances with little rhyme or reason. Like, there’s 4 different Supermen. One of whom looks like Ray Palmer for some reason, but this is never explained. I don’t know. I watched the whole thing but I can’t say I enjoyed it.
