They’ll probably want to get that sweet, sweet spinal fluid first. (I just grossed myself out typing that sentence.)

Batmanuel is, indeed, the best name ever. I laughed so hard at that name.

When I found out there was no Batmanuel on this latest live-action version of The Tick, I was a little upset, because I had never read the comics, just seen the show (and later the cartoon, iirc*). So I went and did some digging and learned that they didn’t have the rights apparently to use Die Fledermaus. Thus…

So, for whatever reason, when I joined the AV Club, I tried to join and comment with Disqus, but ended up with all of my comments linked to my AV Club account instead. When will I be able to merge those comments (and that profile) with this new one? It doesn’t seem to be an option at the moment, unless I missed…

Are there really no comments on this ep?

It’s kind of weird, but “This Is Us” is the first and probably the only show in a *very* long time that both I and a large number of people I know personally really enjoy. I’m into quirky stuff and sf, like the fantastic “People of Earth” and most of the people I interact with on a daily basis aren’t. I think so many…

1. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
2. Finding Nemo taught us that turtles were most excellent surfer dudes, so how could we possibly think of eating them?

Right now my streaming service subscriptions include Netflix, Amazon Prime, and HBO through Amazon. I also have cable with a two-year subscription to STARZ movie channels and 2 EPIX channels included for no extra charge. More and more, though, I wonder why I bother. So much to watch and so little to see. The age old…

I read Dirty Dancing as Dirty Prancing. Ha!

You're right about the books, but IIRC several people (and events) from the 2 novels didn't make it into the movies. Even the kid we got in Lost World bore very little resemblance to the two kids from the novel (white girl, black boy), who I believe were exceptionally bright students of a teacher who went missing on…

If they would only stop putting kids in every single "Jurassic" flick. Is that a Spielberg requirement or something? "Must have at least one child, preferably two. One or both must be obnoxious and/or annoying, at least to start—sometimes to finish."

Addressing a stray observation: I'm pretty sure the bodies are gone from the garage. Alison forced Rachel's hand when Neolution was putting pressure on Alison and Donnie to reveal Helena's location by having the cops search their house (and attempt to plant evidence). Rachel told her lackey cop to dispose of the…

That depends. What is your definition of "good"?

Welcome to the asylum!

Yeah, the home of Gibbs and the Blue Bloods. Lol

Zoo is a bonkers, nonsensical show—like an ongoing B-movie—airing Thursday nights at 10 PM Eastern Standard Time on CBS. It's about the animals evolving into intelligent, hive-mind type creatures that can communicate with one another over great distances. They develop this intelligence because of a biochemical company…

…And then he just… left. Lol.

Multiple choice scenario #2: I am a brilliant scientist who spent several years in a stasis tank and when I wake up I learn that I have a mind-control chip in my brain. I discover that while under mind control, I did some very bad things under an alias. Now my friends are hunting that alias. The first thing I do when…

Multiple choice scenario #1: I am a tough, resourceful young woman, who happens to be carrying the first naturally-conceived child the world has seen in ten years. I get into a brawl with a psychotic female who either doesn't know or doesn't care that I am. The first thing I do when I see my father and friends next is

Okay. That shot with the "teleporting" wolf and the explanation that followed? Um, HA! If I have a choice between a Whopper Jr. and a Double Whopper with cheese and bacon, do you think I'm going to choose the Whopper Jr.? No, no I am not. (I love burgers, by the way.) That snake sees two people standing really close…
