I can understand that. "Perhaps-regrettable" is another good term to describe pretty much all of this, too.

Fair enough, but then he compared them to ISIS, so he's still gross.

I never read Marvel: the Lost Generation because everything about it screamed DO NOT BOTHER to me. Was I right?

He said he was from Fresno!

Yuck yuck yuck.

Just everything about this whole thing is gross as hell, from Hogan making a sex tape with a friend's wife, to his being racist, to Gawker releasing the tape, to Gawker getting on a high horse about said release, to Hogan's lawsuit being bankrolled by a tech billionaire who was pissy about gossip… gross.

It was much more pronounced in Batman v Superman, but Man of Steel also spends a lot of time poking holes in Superman's altruism without ever giving Superman a chance to explain himself. Singer lets Superman be Superman. Singer questions if it's right for Superman to put himself first, while Snyder questions why…

I saw him on Wikipedia's list of actors who turned down the role, but his is the only entry without a citation! Apparently in his autobiography he recalls having lunch with one of the producers of the Bond movies and was asked if he would ever want to be Bond. It doesn't sound like things got as far as a screen test…

Adam West was apparently offered James Bond in the early 70s, but turned it down because he didn't feel right about being an American playing James Bond. Or so the story goes.

There's a great idea there - "What kind of a problem can't Superman solve?" and "What could make a man better than Superman?" But the script never really made Superman's regret come through in any way other than having him hover outside Lois' house and sneak into his biological son's bedroom while he's sleeping. There…

You wouldn't ask a handsome man to wear glasses, it'd be a crime against nature!

Jesus CHRIST.

I want to believe that was inspired by Maguire and Diamond spending a tense afternoon together waiting to audition for "Spider-Man."

"Dark forces are rising…"
"Something is coming…"
"Whatever you're going to do, do it now!"

The Crank movies hew a little closer to Saint's Row than GTA, but yeah.

Ebert's review of RE: Apocalypse is great because he points out there's no way Milla would know what was going on on the other side of that stained glass window. "Did she crash through that window on spec?" The answer, of course, is "Because it looks cool."

I am unashamedly in love with the Resident Evil movies. They are self-indulgent, garish, borderline-incoherent train wrecks, but somehow they work because they have the strength of their conviction to be that way.

Don't I know it!

Plus you have to fumigate for Rob Schneider.

Not before I finish my "Doug Henning as Doctor Fate" pitch!
