"But then again, Oliver spent three years living on an island with hostile people trying to kill him and nothing really to provide basic human needs… and he was trained by assassins, rogue government agents, and the criminal underground… and he's spent five years as a superhero already. As opposed to Jimmy who just

The Sherman Brothers? That's not even close. It's the Burnette Brothers and only one of them, Johnny.

For a while in the '70s, they existed in the same world, with the early crossovers. At the same time, the Superman/Spider-Man crossover was the coolest thing ever to pre-teen me and a confusing plot point. If the Marvel heroes exist in the same world as Superman, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern, why didn't anyone

One of my favorite lines of the first season:

The glasses are a decent disguise for anyone who doesn't spend time with both and have a reason to suspect that Kara is Supergirl. Most people, if they noticed a resemblance, would just think, "You know who you'd look like if you didn't have glasses and wore your hair differently?"

Except for Ella Fitzgerald. He liked Ella.

If it's uncomfortable to think about, maybe it's an indictment of us and not a defense for them. There's the line in Harvey, which I suspect might have been borrowed for the "morons" line in Blazing Saddles, "he'll be a perfectly normal human being, and you know what stinkers they are"

He co-starred with Cary Grant, Vincent Price, and Basil Rathbone, and had great onscreen chemistry with all of them.

He was disappointed, but he didn't expect them to sound like a blues outfit. He expected the whole album to be like Interstellar Overdrive.

The Monkees album came out in November 1967. I'm not sure that the Beatles releasing an album almost two years later qualifies them as early adopters.

"D.J." came pretty close, and David Byrne's actual presence, contribution, or even awareness of the collaboration wasn't even necessary.

Bernie wasn't running for president. The choice was support the candidate who wanted to increase the minimum wage or do nothing to stop the one who didn't from winning.

Anyone who refused to support Clinton because she wouldn't raise the minimum wage enough said exactly that. They were perfectly fine with Trump winning and not raising it at all, just as long as they could claim to be ideologically pure.

A full time job at Clinton's suggested minimum wage is 25k. In most parts of the country, you can live on that.

"Really poor people" would prefer a five dollar an hour raise to a nothing an hour raise. People who really wanted to help them would get that.

You think an over 50% increase is a joke and not taking a stand for the poor? And that was a reason to not vote for her?

You do get that she was still talking about increasing the minimum wage by more than 50% at once, right? It's hardly a "let them eat cake" moment.

There's a reason why Superman was described as being faster than a speeding bullet. It's REALLY, REALLY fast. If someone, even superspy Mary, could jump in front of a bullet that was already fired from ten feet away, Superman would found another analogy.

Just missed it. Crisis was the end of the Bronze Age. Breaking down comic book history like that never made sense. Is it saying that it was good, but not as good as the Silver, which wasn't as good as the Golden? And everything that followed is just not deserving of a medal?j

That's not an unreasonable assumption, since there's nothing in the movie to suggest that there's more than a few years age difference between the two and we do see Westley grow into not a little kid before he meets the Dread Pirate Roberts.
