This is my son, Bart. He owns a factory downtown.

I'd actually say watch the last two episodes of Season 1, as the second-to-last episode is actually pretty good and contains a couple very important plot/character developments.

Riverdale's gonna have to get in line behind Scooby Doo.

I love that, when Oliver was wanted by the police in Season 3, they used that old, beardless photo of him, where he looks like a prep-school kid who pays homeless people to fight each other.

What I think they should do is have some random, one-episode characters ALSO be played by Melissa Benoist. No one comments on how Kara looks just like Supergirl because LOTS of people look just like Supergirl; it's a universe where identical strangers are just a common, everyday fact of life.

Also, once they finally let Savitar out of the suit and gave him a personality, he was a pretty neat villain. They just waited too damn long to pull the trigger on that.

Because no one knew he did that.

In a post-Zoolander world, how can anyone take a movie with the name Blue Steel seriously?

On the other hand, you'd think North Korea's tyrannical communism would have caved in on itself decades ago, yet here we are.

Maybe the terminology is shifting, but I don't normally see people of Indian descent referred to as Asian.

Religious fanaticism is also something that still exists today and continues to victimize a great many people (particularly if they're LGBT). Does that make it distasteful to do an alt-history where America is a tyrannical theocracy?

Didn't American colonization of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama occur decades before the end of the Civil War?

Ocean's 11 didn't have any guns in it that I can recall.

The plot is actually incredibly simple. So simple, that they apparently felt the need to pad it out and complicate it by adding all these tangents that don't really go anywhere or amount to anything.

Because they don't cost as much to make as a Fast And The Furious movie. Studios aren't going to stop making the sorts of movies you're looking for; they're just not going to give them $100 million + budgets.

While I really liked Logan, it's more grounded, stripped-down feel is kind of at odds with it having one of the most implausible villain plans of recent superhero movidedom.

In.

He's also the Bond who had to co-exist with the late 90's/early 2000's Austin Powers craze, which couldn't have helped.

Enjoyable fluff is a good way to put it. It DOES try to say something about how the nature of national security threats has changed in the modern era, but does so about a decade after everyone in real life had already come to that realization.

Yeah, I think it's pretty good, though it's kind of insane that it came out in 2006. It just seems like SUCH a product of the mid- to late 90's obsession with Pulp Fiction in cinema circles.
