Yup, I think of “Superhero” movies in relation to Westerns. For over 60 years from the invention of movie theaters all the way through the 1960s, at any given time you could find at least one Western playing in any movie theater you walked into anywhere in the country. Dozens were released every year, plus multiple

I’ve wondered about that, too. Maybe it’s because there’s some evidence that cheaper-car buyers are more interested in differentiating their crapbox with interesting colors and have less consideration of resale value? 

The best part about this show was that Linda Hunt is a stone-cold badass super-spy. . . who looks like Linda Hunt.

Yeah, anything that’s messy or has some sort of involved process in the eating of it is a big “no” for my side of the table. I don’t want to be peeling steamed shrimp, cracking into crab claws, or performing meat-surgery to remove bones/shells, etc. My go-to is some light, simple boneless fish or chicken dish, because

Bass Reeves is one of those guys whose story is so batshit amazing that they might have to tone it down to make it believable. The guy’s the real-life Lone Ranger.

Clark Kent should be look like the average guy with glass. Look harmless and weak and nobody unless they close to him will notice.

Because everybody always maintains close contact with the people they hung out with in High School? Or the “due to proximity” bit? That last part isn’t about High School friendships in general, just these characters who have little to nothing in common. It’s a normal TV show thing to have vastly different personality

Oh, right. Yeah, describing the characters of That 70s Show and leaving out Hyde completely does have a touch of “Stalin editing people he’s executed out of photos” vibe to it. Yeah, Masterson’s a shitbag, but he’s not retroactively NOT in the show anymore.

I think we’re past worrying about what Tucker Carlson will whine about. 

To be fair, they’re revisiting a show about High School friends who mostly only hung out with each other due to proximity in the first place. It’s weirder that they all still know each other in an era before social media. Dropping any of them is the easiest thing in the world, all they need is a, “Oh yeah, what

Yeah, I mean from the snippets in the interview he sounds like he would be fucking exhausting to be around, but he’s also not really hurting anyone, so . . .

Oh yeah, in Stephen King World eventually everything comes back to The Dark Tower and The Man In Black and Gan, including Western, Eastern, and Native American religion and folklore.

That’s certainly part of it, but there’s also the fear of the unknown, where there’s this mysterious, almost Lovecraftian spiritual dimension that’s both entirely foreign and right under our noses, waiting to be stumbled into.

That wasn’t the end of the episode, it was just after his friend first showed up as a woman and Dan was being a dick. They got into a fight and Dan got the shit kicked out of him.

Dan is kind of an 80s “greed is good” New York Republican and a sexist creep, but isn’t a part of the culture war lunacy that grew into the hot mess we have today.

Dan was creepy, but he also (eventually) accepted when his best friend came out to him as trans. So, still better than 90% of modern-day conservatives.

although Larroquette is the only original Night Court regular to appear in the show’s first six episodes . . .

The power of Tom Selleck, man.
