Jack Warner: I haven't seen this much shit since my last bowel movement.

When you're right, you're right. Scatting robots are a great remedy for grimdark.

True, but during the defense of Moscow, prior to reinforcements from the East, Stalin was practically frozen in anxiety and slow to respond. The USSR didn't turn really around until Kursk, but Stalin was already out of his depression by then and finally listening to his generals.

I hope this series takes on a "How Jack Got His Groove Back" theme. Too much grimdark doesn't suit Samurai Jack. It still needs room for silliness like insanely friendly Scotsmen, and "Little Red Riding Aku". We got a glimpse of it with Aku on the phone.

If Scarlet Johansson was petting me, I would be drooling too.

Television needs more Scarlet Johansson dressing like an angler fish woman mutant.

What is interesting about the rice plantation is that typically it is not such back breaking labor. Even when done under primitive pre mechanized conditions. Slavery made the job more difficult.

Terror enhances the lust!

She is going for an indistinct, unmemorable look with those wigs. Its part of her spycraft. (Remember the sketch artist rendering when she beat up Gad?)

One of the first lines by Veronica this episode was, "We have to move out of here."

" Revenge is the one with the kid right? Gabara is pretty cool."

It's a shame the bonus feature is far better than the film purchased. Godzilla's Revenge is the worst film of the whole Showa series.

Mostly attributed to cigarettes and Suntory whiskey.

Takashi Shimura, aka the old guy in every Japanese picture you ever saw made between 1950-70, had starring roles in both Seven Samurai and Godzilla.

According to the documentary "Bringing Godzilla Down to Size: The Art of Japanese Special Effects", the worst part of playing Godzilla was the water tank. The iconic Godzilla rising from the sea and touching land scenes. The suit was so heavy that if they fell face first, they would require help to prevent from…

Good use of corporate synergy!

Speaking of giddy, the abolitionist womens group gave the show a completely new tone. It injected a much needed sense of wry humor into what was largely pretty grim goings.

I guess a role which requires a lot of "wig work" is her revenge on those annoying Felicity fans.

That should be fun.
