Not sure how the Smallville theme song didn’t make it into this thread but I’m here to fix that

This is great news. One of the most overrated people, other than Raimi, to come out of Marvel. Give somebody else a chance.

Before all of these latest shenanigans, ActiBlizz was raising eyebrows by hiring some of the worst ghouls from W. Bush’s and Trump’s regimes. Kotick may have been the head of a mere video game empire, but he also has a lot of nefarious, powerful friends.

Sooooo what the actual fuck is going on here, because while Sandberg is certainly no prize, this is the second prominent figure (the first being the fucking GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA) to be outed as trying to protect Bobby K. over the last couple of weeks. And I doubt it’s because he’s amazing in the sack.

I agree. I know a lot of people (especially on io9) already took issue with how “grounded” Christopher Nolan made Batman, but for me he struck a perfect balance between fantasy and that grounded “real world” aesthetic. And where Matt Reeves lost me is when the movie goes, “Memory fabric? Pfft, that’s too unrealistic.…

You just want a proper Gotham Central show don’t you?

Sushi has gotten to the point that even the cheap places are charging “big night on the town” prices. My wife gets sushi fairly regularly from a place in a strip mall next to a Jimmy Johns. If she gets one roll and 5 pieces of salmon nigiri, it’s $40. They are charging $4.25/piece FFS.

Yeah, if they really HAD to do it that way, there was a more sensible way to make the scene make sense. Like, have him use some medical term for how it needs to be placed over a certain part of the brain but that he doesn’t know where that is, and she does.

the Bloomin’ Onion is a delight & I sure as hell am not making one of those at home 

When I first heard the pitch for 24, I actually thought (don’t judge me) they would A: make a good faith effort to be true to the gag and B: be far,far more creative about working within the gag’s restrictions. Like the obvious ones: sleep, travel time, different time zones, bottle episodes, etc. to do something cool.…

I don’t think the other guy even read what you wrote. You’re 100% right. I can make a great steak or beautiful seared scallops. I ain’t making no damn bouillabaisse or paella. 

Steakhouses are overrated because steak is super easy to prepare if you don’t suck. But this isn’t the case for all fancy restaurants. Frankly, some recipes require annoying amounts of attention or time.

That history is what the writers want to ignore because everyone wants to put out their own story and twists regardless of anything. This may seem contradictory with all the “fan service” that’s happened, but they still do it.

And she immediately knew how to hold it and use it.

Blue Beetle was created by Keith Giffen, John Rogers, and Cully Hamner who has over time evolved from a few different characters in the comics.

But it’s obvious from Whedon’s output post-JL and pre-cancellation that Justice League had a negative effect on his career. Rightfully so IMO. The Snyder Cut clarified which parts were Whedon’s, and - with a few exceptions - his reshoots (which turned out to be considerably more than “a few”) were terrible.

First, Abrams was a bad go-to. Part of what’s hurting him is the fact people have gone back, looked at his history and realized he’s a 1 trick pony who can’t finish a story. His “what’s in the box” style of storytelling has hurt him this whole time and it’s catching up with him. When he learns to write a 3rd act we…

I’d say it shows that Flux was written in a week, but all his other scripts had pretty much the same problems.

I wish he HAD left, his run has been awful. I place the blame for how poorly the seasons with Jodie Whittaker turned out entirely on his shoulders. The buck stops with him.

So Weird. Fi Phillips was investigating the paranormal, why not encounter the keyblade?
