And honestly - you should really only ever need one 7 million dollar movie. I'm pretty sure you could do the rest for free, if you wanted to do it.

This is his non-union Scandanavian equivalent.

You know, on the one hand, it is kind of ridiculous that he's so comparatively underpaid as compared to RDJ. Really all of the standalone MCU heroes are. But on the other hand, if he's been making an average of 7 mil per movie over 3 Cap and 2 Avengers movies, that's still 35 million dollars that the dude has made. …

I'm mostly just being snarky. I liked the teaser a lot too. Cautiously optimistic about this, despite not really liking Nolan's last couple.

Short answer yes with an "if", long answer no with a "but."

[EXITS ELEVATOR DESPITE IT NOT BEING MY FLOOR] Good Lord. Ugh. Yes.

Isn't really any event an event that shaped our world?

Remember - all acts of civil responsibility begin at home.

I tried this same setup with my 3 year old nephew, and all he could say was "No sir - I don't like it!"

Replace "PepsiCo" in that headline with "Democratic Party", and it works just as well.

For some reason, I decided to re-watch the 2011 Muppets movie for the first time since soon after it came out. Made me happy, and also made me wish that they had found a way to make the one-season wonder of a tv show from a couple years back work.
Also - Arrival is terrific.

I was so surprised that I started … ahem … wheezing!

I'm about midway through The Underground Railroad at the moment. So far, I'm enjoying it quite a lot, but I've been severely side-tracked by all of the Christmas shopping/wrapping/boxing/shipping. Really want to dive back in. Before that was Number9Dream by Mitchell, which was the first of his books that I've had a…

I actually read them in reverse order, and I didn't find it a hindrance. Any of the backstory that you really need in order to understand where things stand in The Cartel is laid out in book. Great books, both.

Liked the White Album well enough, but my favorite Weezer album this year was the new Nerf Herder album.

Arguably worth the time investment to learn who the Master Programmer was. I was … not expecting that.

Well so much for THAT idea.

If I took the time to do it, I could assemble The Ultimate Universe In A Big Old Box. Well - probably several big old boxes. The early Ultimate books were almost all pretty good. In a way I'm happy to see Miles in the mainstream Marvel universe now, but truth be told, I wish the Ultimate universe was still around. …

USM is what got me back into monthly comics in the early aughts. Rest assured, I am a Kenny fan. Also Kong. The thing that makes me saddest about the X-Men not being in the MCU is no chance for a Peter/Kitty hookup.

Then when Miles comes along, he can be pals with Flash Thompson or Harry Osbourne. Fair is fair.
