Wouldn’t Disney/Marvel own the trademark on at least the name? Sue Storm has been called the Invisible Woman since 1985, after all.

“Looks like we got ourselves a reader!”

Well that’s ruined now, so go ahead and star it.

I don’t remember that documentary becoming about Ross at all (except for the brief interlude when Ross and Neil Gaiman attempt to knock on Ditko’s door which barely counts). Otherwise I thought the attention was respectfully and appropriately focused on Ditko’s comics contributions.

Just as a reminder, “Shatterhand” is an alias used by Blofeld in Fleming’s original You Only Live Twice book.

I admit I am reluctant to grab this when I already have on my shelf waiting for me David W. Blight’s (prose bio) Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom, which only came out a few months ago. Still, I would be interested to see how the two narratives stack up against one another, if they cover the same territory, etc.

I just got into To Have and Have Not. It’s quite good. I’m impressed mainly by how they completely changed Hemingway’s grim tale of desperation into what is basically a stylish Casablanca-redux. It’s the movie I watch now when I’m in the mood to watch something Casablanca-like but don’t want to watch Casablanca. I…

You’re more than welcome to have him!

Does anyone really rewatch old movies over and over? HELL YES, if my own habits are any guide. I’d have to start any recouncint with the twin poles of classic cinema, Casablanca and Citizen Kane. Yes, it’s beyond cliché to name either one as a favorite movie, yet I’ve seen each probably on the order of 200 times.…

The ending is Schrödinger’s Tony. The very next thing that happens after the fade is either that Tony is killed by the Members Only guy, or else the Members Only guy turns out to be nobody, and Tony is safe for the time being. Both of those universes are contained within the final moments of the episode.

Agreed! The characters’ names were listed as if they were the actors’ names. If I were one of the actors, I’d be a bit miffed.

Came here to point this out, but you beat me to it. What makes Sylvia a less-than-remembered Bond girl is that Bond tossed her aside in Dr. No before the plot could even begin, and her re-appearance in From Russia (a misguided move at giving Bond a regular love interest) was a mere opening cameo.

Not at all, and to your point, Alan Hale (either one) was a sizable man. “Little” John is understood to be ironic.

Eugene Pallette played Friar Tuck, not Little John. Little John was Alan Hale, Sr. -- father of the Skipper!

“Ava DuVernay, the filmmaker behind Selma, Netflix’s 13th, and (cough, cough) (low, embarrassed mutter) A Wrinkle In Time...”

I did a slight double-take at the old “friend of Dorothy” reference given that there is an actual character on the show named Dorothy.

Good luck on resuming your DS3 hiatus, if you ever do. Lothric and Lorien was where I gave up, because I just could not beat them. It was the one DS game I could not finish!

Way to get a running start on all the speed/slowness puns!

Excellent episode, but my favorite part went unmentioned. Thinking Larry’s wolfish pursuit of Lori is real, some cops pull over to give him a beat-down and haul him away. That would have been bleakly amusing on its own, but then, thinking the cops’ intervention was part of the movie, Rudy Pipilo is so impressed by the…

There have been imports that arguably worked — All in the Family, Sanford & Son, Three’s Company — but I’d say all those were successful in the U.S. based mostly on their uniquely charismatic lead performers.
