Looks neat, but now would be a great time to give Thunderbolt Ross a better superhero name than “Red Hulk,” right? Even “General Rage” or “Captain Crush” would be slightly less dumb than “I’m just like this other guy, but a different color!”

The original features what I think is the only joke ever improved by a TV edit. When the Griswolds wind up in East St. Louis, Clark asks for directions. In the theatrical cut, the response is "Fuck yo momma!" On TV: "Hey man, who I look like? Christopher Colombo?"

Having seen the first two, it seems like most people are too preoccupied with not being murdered to take full advantage of any non-violent crimes they may have wanted to commit. The second movie even introduces the idea that the government outfits murder squads and puts them out on the streets because there aren't…

Bill Paxton is the true creator of Titanic.

I enjoyed seeing Avatar. Watching it, not so much.

I still don't believe this is a movie.

That works, too. "A mustache? Huh, I woulda never thought of that!"

The One Where My Mother Had a Tough Life and, Shortly After That, Died

I have to say I love the expression on Superman's face on that Jimmy Olsen cover. "Get a load of this asshole and his fake fucking mustache."

You can count Captain Marvel twice - Mar-Vell and Genis-Vell!

Planetary is great overall but I found it suffered from the same syndrome Transmetropolitan did, where it worked better in its early anthology style and got thinner when it turned everything over to an overarching plot for the latter half of the series. The X-Files type stuff where Ellis lays out a Unified Theory of…

Marvel staffers burned him in effigy! Although it's funny that one of Shooter's least-popular initiatives - to periodically "reboot" the Marvel Universe by having existing heroes pass their mantles to new characters - is sort of what Marvel's doing right now with its new Cap, new Thor, new Spider-Man, new Wolverine,…

"Ohhhh yeah, yeah yeah."

Why Can't You Be More Like Your Sister, Internet?

"Yeah yeah - what?"

I've never read Secret Wars II, but Jim Shooter was a jerk so that's probably true.

When I was a kid I loved the movie "Howard the Duck." My local comic book store didn't have very much in the way of Howard back issues at the time, but I bought whatever they had. One of those issues was #16, the long-form essay about the creative process. The other was #10, where Howard has an issue-long…

Morrison says All-Star Superman was inspired by an encounter he had with a Superman cosplayer at San Diego one year. The guy apparently never broke character the entire time and Morrison spent a long time interviewing him like he was actually Superman, and apparently that guy was so thoughtful about the character of…

"Bizarre Test of Courage!?!" is also the name of Japan's most popular game show.

Someone's nostalgic for the Marvel Studios logo already?
