Never to be mentioned again?

Yeah, there are 8 more weeks of this for her.

I think the appropriate spelling is 'looong greasydick'.

I like everything about this.

He doesn't.

Ah, I see what you mean.

The climax of Court of Owls was literally "The villain dangling Batman off a rope for 19 pages while describing the plot of the past 10 issues, and then he fails." It is a truly abysmal end to an only so-so story, and following it up with a story that ruins "Heart of Ice," while basically the Scott Snyderiest story of…

I actually thought that Lando was the only Marvel Star Wars debut that actually totally worked as a story (well, Leia mostly worked too, actually). Great character beats, no real pandering, solid set-up - it was just good. Compare that to the unholy messes of Star Wars #1 or Vader #1 and I'll take what I can get.

I actually don't agree with the '50-issue crossover' thing. All you really needed was two issues, which the original Gotham Central trades realized and included - the one where Renee and Two-Face meet, and the one where Renee helps Two-Face achieve some peace in prison. Everything else is filler, but those two set the…

Let's start an antifanclub!

Thank you for this.

Actually, it wasn't until the 1910's-1920's, when Hollywood became a big-money business, that female directors were forced out of the industry. As budgets ballooned, they went to Wall Street for money, and the financiers didn't think women could handle the 'pressure', so virtually all of them were forced out of the…

And, of course, people were killed by someone to keep his death a secret, like the porter.

I had a hard time between picking "What's Going On?" or "Demons," personally, though I lean towards "Demons" as the more formally audacious. Though, for that matter, why not just go all the way and pick "What Is Human?" Lito, Wolfgang, the birthing scene…

Hello, family member!

The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T, the movie ever written by Dr. Seuss. My dad showed it to me when I was young and we rewatched it periodically after, and I figured it would be fairly common knowledge. I mean, Dr. Seuss wrote a bizarre-as-hell musical fantasy film. How could it not be?

"Some people didn't like a movie being criticized. Let's blacklist the creators for it!"

'Plot' and 'story' are different things. A movie can have no plot - Slacker, for instance - while still telling a story, while a film can mimic a plot almost beat-for-beat - Watchmen - while telling a very, very different story. The amount of minutes a film runs has nothing to do with how much plot OR how much story…

I don't particularly care about how much plot something has, particularly in a comedy, and a loose structure isn't the same thing as a long running time. McKay's movies often feel like there's nothing to them - no characters, no stories, nothing to hold onto but the jokes. Which is fine if you like mostly like the…

I, for one, am happy the film doesn't resemble the loosely-structured improv wankfests of McKay. The Other Guys is pretty brilliant, but that's the extent of McKay's 'genius' for me.
