I'm okay with that. It was an interesting book conceptually, but the art was ugly and the storytelling was sloppy as hell. I was mostly only still getting it because it was one of maybe two or three books DC was still publishing that felt like they were made by a creator rather than a council of marketing execs and…

Moon Knight was great, a reimagining that built on what came before but fixes a lot of the mental illness stuff that has never quite worked for me - writers always hit it too hard, and it seems more narratively convenient than actually honest.

It doesn't matter how bored or disinterested they look - Robin Thicke knows they want it, after all.

Nah. It's a matter of turning subtext into text. "Blurred Lines" is… very up front about its rapiness.

MI 3 finds a talented director crippling himself with shoddy writers - again! It blows my mind that a guy like Abrams hasn't figured out that Orci/Kurtzman are hacks of the absolutely highest magnitude.

Well, that was $10 million in 1990s dollars, so it's AT LEAST, like, $11 million today, probably, or something.

Well, yeah. MI3 was written by the brain trust behind: Transformers 2, Star Trek Into Darkness, and Cowboys & Aliens, an almost-legendary trilogy of awfulness.

I thought the part they needed to cut was everything off the lifeboat. Every time they flashed to the American military - with multiple warships and SEAL-trained snipers - facing off against a few mostly-starved, untrained people in a lifeboat, I just got bored.

I've side-loaded it onto the Kindle Fire, and I have no real problems. Sometimes, I get weird slowdown issues and it still needs a good way to save where you are for later or organize runs more easily… and there are those goddamn gaps… but overall, I like it.

Straight guy killed gay guy to put him out of his misery. Then Emma killed straight guy because she loved him.

I'm more excited for him to join the cult, and then for the whole FBI to join the cult, and then for this to slowly become a show about MurderWorld.

Indeed - that was the ONLY thing they checked in the finale. Speaking as someone who just watched the finale.

I sincerely thought it was Annie Parisse still. I knew she died, I just kind of assumed it was her twin sister or something.

What do you mean? No one will ever forget me! How could you, with all the shenanigans I got up to in a thread that day?

Who knows, no one read the damn thing anyway.

(actually, Worlds' Finest was 2nd wave, and I believe Katana was 3rd)

I was the same way - I justified where I was by doing the best I could and saying that at least I was helping people. It helps for awhile, but yeah, once they find out who is actually trying to educate, the for-profit system generally stamps that down as quickly as possible. For me, it was putting me in charge of…

I worked as a librarian for a for-profit school for a couple years after I got my Masters. At first, it was… okay. The school was shady, as for-profits will be, but I did my job and helped as many students as possible.

Didn't care for The Punisher. Edmondson tried really hard to humanize him, but to keep the ultra-violence, which is a combo that just doesn't work. The best Punisher stories treat him like a force of nature dropped into a delicate situation; Edmondson's read like it could have been any 'Grim Tough Lethal Hero' in…

Thanos Rising was pretty abominable, and I'm pretty sure that was him.
