No way. After Reverse Flash, sure, but Hunter Zolomon only showed up in the 2000s. Boomerang is at least on par with Captain Cold and Mirror Master. The Rogues were all pretty much on equal footing. I think they stayed away from some of these because of The Flash tv show (although CC has appeared in Arrow…so has…

Not into hip hop. I missed the boat when hip hop became the dominant culture (late 90s/2000s). By "white" I really mean bland and corporate (see the AV Club's review of the fake Matchbox 20 album "Beige" for what I'm talking about).

#NotAll90sMusic Also, I agree with the poster, above, who mentioned the first two CC albums as good (with exceptions for 24/7 radio play of Mr Jones) and then CC falling off a cliff.

I think they should have bumped it out a year. With only six weeks to write and throw together this is what you get. What I don't get is what the rush was? It's not like people were clamoring for a SS movie. Give it a full year, get it right, and it could be great (and lead into a solo Batman movie since you're…

So, no Jessica Jones in this one? A little Iron Fist tease maybe? And it looks like they've got the Daredevil fight-a-bunch-of-dudes-in-a-narrow-hallway shot in this one as well. I'm 200% on board.

Have you been to the dentist lately? A supermarket, perhaps?

I feel like we need a #90sSoWhite hashtag for so much of the music that came out this decade. While I really love Counting Crows, this was an astonishing level of bland, safe, boring pop culture going on. Terrible decade.

I think the last episode I watched was the one where Chris Farley and Patrick Swayze auditioned for Chippendales.

Who?

If Boomerang is a B list villain who is the A list villain for The Flash? The Reverse Flash (who is in the current run of Suicide Squad comics)?

I'm not a huge fan of SS, but to see a variety of critics not get the source material is frustrating. The challenge is that DC (and Marvel) are straightjacketing their directors to fit a multiple-movie story arc and Brand, which makes many of these things feel generic. Marvel is doing a better job because their…

Also, if you have to look up that "Midway City" is the home of Hawkman, and you don't catch that the John Ostrander Federal Building is named after a well-known comic writer from (primarily) the 80s (creator of Grimjack!) then maybe don't review a superhero movie with deep Easter Eggs. That's the biggest disconnect…

How did I know that neither one of these guys owned a comb?

Hey, these are the only discussions where I don't feel *old* so I take my cheap pot shots where I can.

Throwing Copper was great (saw that show at a college in 1995 - Live were *very* new then). But, man, did they start believing their own self-importance, which seemed to affect a lot of alternative bands (Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam).

You're too young to be on this thread. Do you parents know you're on the internet?

Cake is from my hometown (Sacramento), a place desperate to be known, anywhere, beyond the county limits. Like Tesla in the 80s, another Sac town favorite, Cake was EVERYWHERE in 1996.

True, but many of us lived in areas without a college radio station, so the radio was all we had. Hell, as a die hard Gen Xer, I still only hear "new" music on the radio, and it all sucks, so I live with the records of my past.

The issue with DC's movies (and, to a lesser extent, the MCU) is that they're run by risk-averse studio suits, not directors and writers. The Dark Knight worked because DC wasn't building a universe around Nolan's film(s) and let him do what he wanted, which was make a modern crime film like Heat but with Batman…

I officially give up on everything. /turns on Stranger Things. Sighs
