The “sliding look” with the split screens, moving frames, etc, were an homage to the similar techniques used in the Woodstock documentary movie (1970).

It’s not just about accents. I agree, Diane is definitely not on the same level as Apu, which is good, because that would be really shitty for show that was created in 2014 by a 30 year old, but that doesn’t mean it’s not uncomfortable. Alison Brie is amazing (here and in many other roles), and she brings so much…

There is a Christian songbook dating back to the 1800s called “The Sacred Harp,” and the song “162. Plenary” is to the tune of Auld Lange Syne. It is a straight-up Memento Mori, reflecting on the fleetingness of life. The lyrics, combined with that tune, are hauntingly moving. Here are the first two verses:

That has got to be the worst effing thing I’ve ever read in my life. I was not a fan of the bat-marriage, and deep down, I KNEW that DC wasn’t going to pull it off, because these two characters are so completely wrong for each other, and on a business side of things, a married Catwoman is not how you sell the next…

But if Batman is the one whose wedding was spoiled, why is petulant media-hungry billionaire Bruce Wayne tweeting angrily about the “sad failing @NYTimes”?

The AV Club’s stock has fallen precipitously in the last few years, but one thing I can always rely on them for is to remind why I stopped reading comics: Every story takes two years to go nowhere.

Or how ‘bout don’t give Breitbart traffic.

You didn’t attend her funeral? So as you say this was a women who you knew since you were toddlers. I assume that means you were pretty good friends. Instead of being there for those two children when they probably need people the most you got on your high horse and road away.

“Hmm... everybody’s mad... first female writer for the comic... oh boy, here we go...”

Bill gets the cadence all wrong.

Admittedly, he did say he barely paid attention.

Sweetie, we listened to him, and then we called him a dumbshit. This is called the discourse.

Generally, it takes a few minutes for “edits” to go through with kinja.

Jesus, this is depressing. I’ve always had mixed feelings about Lee because of his dealings with Jack Kirby, but no one deserves to be taken advantage of and abused by their own family.

Stan Lee’s legacy is at worst complicated but nobody deserves this shit.

“Lee, they say, has never been good with money, and is a people pleaser who’s susceptible to con artists.”

I try to think of this guy as a lefty version of Lobsters but it doesn’t usually work, and he’s too conventional in his capitalization.

Season 1 is so different from Seasons 2 and 3 they’re almost two different shows.

This isn’t fair. The one thing we could all agree on in season 1 was that Legends of Tomorrow was terrible and not worth watching. Now, after most of us ducked out during the Hawkman/Hawkgirl awfulness, it’s delightfully zany and has cameos from Barack Obama and John Noble playing himself. Now what do I do, spend…

This article focuses on it a lot because this network of sites worships Obama, but in the actual episode it’s the D-plot. It’s an excuse for the team to split up to handle two different problems at once and outside of one quick scene where Obama and Sarah have a quick chat, he doesn’t appear past the first act.
