How come no one tries to tip Mew-mew over?

Pretty stoked for this, especially after the cinemus interuptus that was Warcraft.

What if I film my dog taking a shit on the CBS and Paramount logos? Does that violate US trademark regulations?

Thanks to ticket prices, concession prices, projection issues, people talking, and movies that come to Akron sucking, those assholes using their phones don't even make my top five reasons for why I don't go to the theater anymore.

"Brrrrrriiing! Hello, 2017, can you come and take your asshole detective back. He's getting on everyone's last nerve. And watch out for that Trump guy. He's a bad egg!"

It's a story about a women who falls in love with man when she sees him urinate in the aisle of an airplane.

I'm just hopeful they will eventually turn all the talent they attract lose. I mean, they have wasted Joss Whedon, the Russo's, Edgar Wright, Shane Black and James Gunn. All of those people managed to insert bits that shone through (even Wright, who I suspect was responsible for the only truly inspired bit of

I meant the high praise, but I was primarily referring to superhero fare. Obviously something like Ghost World or American Splendor is another animal entirely.

You said that magic words: Jessica Jones. For my money, JJ is the best comic book anything to come out since at least Spider-man 2 (yeah, I think The Dark Knight is great, but hella overated; give me Jessica any day). Daredevil, not so much. I enjoyed the first handful of episodes very much, but then I thought it

I have a hard time ranking artistic quality into a Top 5, but there is no doubt that Deadpool managed to adapt comic book source material better than pretty much any other comic movie since at least The Dark Knight. It was a pretty impressive achievement. I wouldn't call it the best screenplay of the year, but I've

I wasn't pointing out stuff to adapt, just to read. You asked what was the great stuff Marvel had done that I was referring to.

On my phone, so I'll make this quick. The entirety of X-Force is great. It starts with Kyle & Yost, then Remender takes over. Brubaker's Cap run, also great. Ditto for Hickman doing Secret Warriors. Others swear by Hickman's FF & Avengers rubs, but I've not read those. Wolverine & the X-Men is hilarious (I think it's

Lotta stuff, and I love talking about a lotta stuff.

Not really. No one in the family needs the money, and you can always get them for free from the library. Or you could borrow my copies. I'd say to keep avoiding S&S.

The thing is, no one is forcing the studios to adapt Civil War. They chose to make that overstuffed story using a medium which cannot serve it well. So that is on them. They could make whatever they want, so they don't get a break from me because they chose one ill-suited for the medium and made it entertaining. The

You know, if you sort by Newest First.

Last.

I like Watchmen the movie quite a bit. And I like some other comic movies, as well. But none of them are better than the source material, which I don't think should be limited to a small sample when comparing comics to movies. Quite the opposite. Since comics have such an enormous history of rich storytelling to mine,

Dependables, which would make for an age appropriate product tie-in.

As a comic reader who enjoys them (or at least enjoys some), the most unrealistic thing about Marvel isn't the abundance of capes, but rather it's that everyone who lives in NYC doesn't suffer from crippling PTSD. Or even that anyone lives in NYC at all.
