I agree, but I think that “Lost Skeleton” is the exception. As Sentient Beard states, it’s a parody of bad movies rather than an intentionally “so bad it’s good” film. And I’d argue that there’s a good deal of deliberate humor in it, notably the dinner scene.

But, yes, sincerity is what makes “The Room,” “Plan 9" and…

Yep. The number of fucks I give about helping a corporation protect its trademark can be counted in an open palm.

Oh, believe me, those of us adults who regularly plays with Legos frequently hear that “call them LEGO-brand bricks” bullshit.

That’s good for the company—gotta protect that trademark—but until and unless I’m on their payroll, I will call my Legos whatever I want.

I will also settle for the complete line of the modular…

FWIW, that grave marker is just something installed by fans in the late ‘70s. (Though the quote is apparently from one of his letters.)

Four people. Green Lantern put a live-action (well, CGI) Tomar Re on the big screen, voiced by Geoffrey Rush, no less. I will give it credit for that if for nothing else. But honestly, it’s just fine. Not great, but no worse than (for example) The Incredible Hulk or Thor: The Dark World. 

I will state up front that I prefer Superman as the cheerful, optimistic god who could do anything but does the *right* thing. MoS isn’t “my” Superman, but I think it’s a valid interpretation of the character.

That said, I absolutely agree with your take. Superman in MoS is at the start of his career. He hasn’t dealt…

Are you talking about this?

Boy, howdy. Everything you just said here.

I’ve been a liberal for nearly my entire adult life. (There was a brief period shortly after college in which my conservative dad’s values still held primacy, but my introduction into a diverse society turned that around.) And yet, I sometimes find that the far left can piss…

The first “Pirates” film was fun, clever (that sequence of the undead pirates walking across the ocean floor has stuck with me) and popular due in large part to Depp’s performance, which was seen as relevatory at the time.

Oh, that’s a popular one around these parts. The very first shot in the film is a road sign listing Champaign, Rantoul and Ludlow. (The latter is famously wiped from the face of the Earth.)

And, of course, I know that TV shows and movies aren’t necessarily going to be filmed in the communities in which they’re set. It’s just that seem to be going for a smaller, more rural look than Champaign. I guess they just liked the Champagne/Champaign homonym? 

IIRC, someone was wearing an Illini shirt at one point. So, yay?

Really. There did seem to be an awful lot of trees in the location shots. I mean, we have plenty of trees, but the houses in the show seemed set back in a woodsy area.

And yeah, there is not one damned hill in this town.

No, it does not. According to them, we apparently have a quaint town square and no building over two stories. Actual Champaign--with its sister city, Urbana--contains the University of Illinois. We have a mother-effin’ supercomputer a block from my office.

Disagree with “Truth or Dare.” It’s dumb as a post, to be sure, but it was fun. I know that this is heresy, but I had a better time with it than I did with “Hereditary.” It may have been a case of no-expectations for the former and too-high expectations for the latter, but still, “Truth or Dare” at least knew enough…

I felt let down by this episode after the pure joy of “Elseworlds, Part 1.” I was hoping for more from both ‘90s Flash and the Psycho-Pirate. (Is PP going to be a recurring character on “Arrow?”) The Batwoman stuff was shoehorned in, and while I enjoyed Ruby Rose in “Meg,” she seemed flat here.

The Monitor chose poorly…

The Arkham sequence reminded me of the Batman ‘66 episode in which the villain of the week engineers a mass breakout from Gotham State Penitentiary, and we only ever see the Joker, Catwoman, Egghead, etc. from behind. Though, come to think of it, we didn’t even get that much here.

Not lying...I triumphantly shouted at the reveal of the hidden toilet!

Though the lack of privacy ramps up the “ick” factor of S.T.A.R. Labs’ secret prison.

Plus, Psycho Pirate is appearing for reals in tonight’s “Arrow.” You can see him putting on the Medusa Mask in the promo.

And it’s pretty clear that this “Elseworlds” crossover is teeing up the Arrowverse version of the “Crisis on Infinite Earths,” what with the Monitor, Psycho Pirate, and references to red skies.

I’ll put forward a scene from a movie that almost no one saw: “The Endless.” MAJOR SPOILER FOLLOWS.
