When Disney buys Marvel, you will!

I thought it was Joseph.

That doesn't explain The Fridge or Rowdy Roddy Piper getting on the team (well, does sort of if you're old enough to remember).

I guess I'd always assumed that "Palpatine" was his professional name, chosen for business reasons, and that his true name was hidden away, as great villains' names so frequently are. At least his true name isn't Skywalker; that would be the most unkindest cut of all.

Yeeeeeah, I used to enjoy reading Maddox's page way back in the day, when he was calling out The Last Samurai for having Tom Cruise as the lead ("You might as well have Julia Roberts be The Last Inuit!"), and buddy cop movies for stereotyping black people ("Uptight white cop and street-smart black cop. Where have we…
