I think making Wanda a villain is not the worst idea, actually. She’s already been a quasi-supervillain in the comics with the whole “no more mutants” stuff, and these movies tend to be only as good as their villains anyways, so why not put an already well-developed character in the star spot and redeem her a few…

Ha, that’s amazing! That’s some “Superman is a Dick” level fucking-with-the-mere-mortals.

I am a fan of the Stepfather series, but it’s a stretch to call any of them slashers.

I Was Dora Suarez is great. All those Derek Raymond books seem like they somehow live in the same universe as V For Vendetta to me, which, I guess, is Thatcherite England.

I wonder who they’re going to get to play the Martian Manhunter?

That’s the thing, is that Atwood as a writer is very restrained, with a wry, dark sense of humor and a tendency to describe horrible events in a clinical, detached tone. That’s part of why the original book is so effective, and even in the first season of this show, the farther they departed from the book the worse…

Oh my god, this is such a trite cliche by now, it’s worse than the rash of BWWWAAAAAMMMMP trailers that appeared after Inception came out.

Glad to hear you’ll be covering this after missing Cannes.

Yeah, I guess the private equity firm or whatever that owns AV Club now couldn't afford to send anyone this year?

We are stuck with them until the copyright on Bugs Bunny expires in 2035.

30 Coins is awesome in how it swings for the fences, even if it’s not always successful. And that opening sequence! They squeezed an entire Passion in there!

So... so this is just 30 seconds of footage repeated 120 times? Way to copy and paste, House of Ideas!

the “wisdom of Solomon,” the “strength of Hercules,” the “stamina of Atlas,” the “power of Zeus,” the “courage of Achilles,” and the “speed of Mercury”

I think I’d rather have a show that starts as a big dumb comic movie and turns into a puzzlebox at the end than vice versa (not that I think that’s where this is going, particularly).

In the comics, at least, Sam has power over birds (he’s able to see through their eyes and command them in a limited range). He’s sort of the Aquaman of the skies.

I like how they explain what the jokes are so I know when to laugh. Why yes, store clerk, that is messed up.

if they wanted to borrow from Dark Reign in the future

What fresh hell is this
