Shame DC doesn't do Elseworlds anymore. Because Kang's Batman would be a must-read.

Right.

This is Nintendo. Not Van Gogh. "Artistic integrity" in a product designed to be sold at enormous profit is a bit of a misnomer. The fans are asking for a nice tribute, to a guy who meant a lot to a lot of people, and who helped said company make some of those enormous profits on a previous game. It's a nice gesture,…

Watch the video. Watch the bystanders off to the left of the second group, the one GIFed above. They clearly know it's coming.

And they'd have to be relatively on our timeline. Million years either way might seem like a lot, but it's not. Heck, they could have missed us by only a few thousand years, and it wouldn't matter.

Timelines are the problem. Remember, we are relative cosmic newcomers. We could have already been visited, back when there were just the dinosaurs - or just a rock - and then they moved on because hey, nothing to see here.

I tied to watch this the other day when it was on FX or somewhere. "How bad can it be?" I thought. "It can't really be that horrible, can it?"

One part filing snafu on my part (for which the IRS is right in correcting it), one part post-divorce who gets to claim the kid issue... which I think the IRS sided incorrectly on, but I cannot prove to sufficient extent (nor have the funds to properly fight). This in a year when there were already financial issues.

Exactly my point. I was doing great, financially, even post-divorce, until the IRS and my mechanic both decided it was a good year to plunder me. One or the other would have been easily weatherable; both (on top of some other things also this year), is a lot more challenging.

Ah, a lawyer. Who makes a lot more than the rest of us. Ergo, one more entitled, upper-income idiot with no grasp of what it's like for anyone below your tax bracket.

And you are so atypical for everyone I have ever known that you prove my point about it not being the majority of us BEAUTIFULLY.

I'm sorry, but most of that is the utter financial fantasy bullshit that remains willfully ignorant of the nature of employment, the economy, and even education. "Vanquish" student debt by 30? Maybe if you went to a state school as a resident and managed to be in a field where you could find a career without needing…

No, read the list. It includes "student debt."

You beat me to it. I swear, for several years in a row, the whole point of the Pixar films was to make the audience cry before it was over. (Or, in the case of UP, from the beginning. Seriously, if you don't cry during that first montage, you are dead inside. DEAD.

Too much Gaga. Not enough Muppets.

This article gives me hope for humanity. (Whereas the People issue takes it away.)

You can "walk" around inside it, too. Not very far, admittedly, but even so.

I wonder if, when they were casting the first X-Men movie, someone remembered that old episode of Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends (where Wolverine did, inexplicably, have an Australian accent), and gave a subconscious edge to Hugh Jackman because of it.

Based on that clip, I can't say this seems all that bad. Is it over the top? Yes. But wouldn't such a person, on a stage, in front of a crowd, be over the top anyway? I wouldn't lump this in with DeNiro's lesser performances (of which there have been a few). Methinks the critics are just looking for nits to pic and…

I thought there was actually a vibe at the end where Maxine had figured out that Reese was the Man in the Suit and chose to ignore it.
