Every one of those projects was cast before Perlmutter got shunted off to the TV division.

Oh man, imagine if Nolan had any familiarity with the character outside the DeVito version and had put PSH in one of his Batmovies.

Nah, me neither. Maybe if they got an actual English guy to do the voice instead of Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins mode? Even then probably not.

Also a Best Screenplay Oscar winner: Akiva Goldsman.

I'd like to see a de-Burtonised Penguin, but not if Josh Gad is playing him. That's just fucking weird casting.

Yeah, as far as we know he willingly stepped down from his other Batduties. If there's any reason to feel sorry for him it's that he can't just wash his hands of the whole thing and go back to directing other stuff, which seems to be what he'd rather be doing.

I can actually see the point of that - it'll give Trump supporters another rallying point for the old "liberals are the real racists" gambit.

Yeah, I didn't miss the sarcasm. I was responding to your intended meaning.

Not anymore! Why do you think we're getting Captain Marvel and Black Panther movies?

Holy shit, I found a guy who's never heard of exaggeration. Should I capture him for further study?

This is a pretty over the top reaction, dude. You can be critical of a thing while still liking the thing and not wishing it had never existed.

Or just for funsies.

Is it true that there is a spot in a man's head that if you shoot it it will blow up?

It's going to make a roaring comeback if the Schneiders and Mahers of the world have anything to say about it.

At the end of the day, the only people who can remove Trump from office don't give a shit about any of this because they're also corrupt, venal fuckbags.

I did it once on a South Park review, but then I felt bad and apologised and went back to trying to ignore SP and its fans as much as possible.

So you were a shitty public servant who resented doing your job and probably now pull a pension? Sounds like a collossal drain on us hardworking taxpayers to me.

Pretty much. They're not meant for us in the first place, so I don't see the point in getting worked up one way or the other.

I probably keep up with pop music more than the average thirtysomething beardo, and I couldn't hum a single One Direction song.

Which is a bit of a bummer if they ever move on to Miles Morales. Who will be his big nerdy BFF?
