I would be more than okay with that.

One of the powers endowed him by the ancient ones is mastery of charades.

Holy shit. It actually looks...FUN?! It looks like a cross between Big and The Greatest American Hero, which is a good way to go about it. I don’t remember Freddie Freeman in the comics being someone Billy was friends with from the very beginning, but that’s a pretty smart move.  Now how will they handle Captain…

Dear jetpack designers,

Writing?  Comic?  Dr.?

I’m about to turn 48 and now basically every piss is a calamity waiting to happen.

I think it would have been interesting if Ledger had gotten his inspiration for his Joker performance from Carl Kasell.

Right, now tell us about how the Democrats are the party of the Klan.

I’m still not convinced that it isn’t a viral marketing campaign for the Shazam! movie or the next installment of the Mummy franchise.

Is it fair that every time I see Matt Craven (the mustachioed police chief) onscreen I go “Hey, it’s Hardware!” Because although he’s been in tons of stuff and is a fine actor, I always associate him with playing “Hardware” in the original Meatballs from almost 40 years ago. In this show he is almost unrecognizable…

I’m not familiar with the book, but all I know is that the stepdad did it, because he’s played by Henry Czerny, and that guy ALWAYS turns out to be the bad guy.

Anybody else just sort of relieved that it was a man?

Luke understood that by striking Vader down he would be doing the Emperor’s bidding—killing the Emperor’s apprentice, and thus sealing his own fate, succumbing to the Dark Side, and taking his father’s place as the Emperor’s apprentice. I think of the Emperor as a sort of…

I’m not familiar with the superhero Ursa Major, so...is that what their power is, turning into a talking bear, or is it just ONE of their powers? Because if that’s it, I’m wondering about their usefulness as a “superhero.”

Who is this guy again?  I mean, I know he’s a monumental douchebag, I can see that.  I get the feeling that’s all I really need to know.

“The entire twee canon”? What the fuck are you even talking about? Disney animation is synonymous with “twee” since when?
