One other thing before I go, Tom: what all the other movies in this article share? A lack of respect for their heroes. Oh, yeah, Kenneth Branagh may have thought he was paying due respect to Thor, but in retrospect it’s clear that he wasn’t, and that — as Taika Waititi showed and any old Norse skald could probably…

To my ear the MCU has produced two great themes, both by Alan Silvestri: the Avengers theme and Captain America’s March. In fact, I go further: not only is Cap’s March worthy of standing with such as John Williams’ iconic Superman March, I’d even go so far as to call it the only music that’s more patriotic than The…

Something you didn’t pick up on, Tom, was how Marvel managed to make as true-blue American an icon as Cap an international one … basically by making him a 1960s rebel somehow time-warped into a 1940s B-movie serial.

The more so as it’s not even a monologue:

Monica Crowley says walls work. While standing by the remains of the Berlin Wall.

Which is pretty much what Hillary did to him during the campaign. Which is why it was so stunning when this moron got into the White House anyway. Which is why sensible people in and out of America get angrier by the minute with all the idiots in America who still think this moron is a good POTUS.

Suoergirl # 16 action cover -- our girl getting zapped, typical action tease. Supergirl # 16 painted cover -- oooo. I like. I like! I’d love to date her, if only her costume didn’t remind me who’d likely fry my ass if I ever did anything to break her heart ...

“Indestructible shroud of Kal-el?” As in Superman’s cape? (So I suppose Superman’s still healing Earth’s Sun and has no time for fixing whatever unholy mess the galaxy’s gotten into in the 28th century CE?)

No, no, no, he and Peggy would’ve gotten it on but for that whole “stop HYDRA from destroying the world” thing — remember?

On the Doctor’s newfound “small-scale empathy”: Stop me if I’m wrong, but weren’t the Eleventh and Twelfth Doctors instrumental in fixing the War Doctor’s great sin -- his apparent destruction of Gallifrey and his fellow Time Lords before they could destroy the rest of the Universe in their showdown with the Daleks?…

All three of the newbies can fly (despite their obviously ginormous mass), but only King Ghidorah has a wave-motion gun thingy to match the Big G’s atomic ray -- or did I miss something?

Seriously now, ever since the Dems took back the House he’s been more out of it than usual. Am I right? Also, if I remember right, another dick POTUS named Andrew Johnson (not JACKson) -- guy who took over after Lincoln and basically screwed up your post-Civil War Reconstruction every way he could short of…

I guess what really bugs me about this is an unspoken corollary: dipshits are interesting, assholes are interesting … but heroes aren’t.

Was going to post on just this point. NO, THE BUSHES SHOULD NOT INVITE TRUMP TO H.W.’S FUNERAL. It may have been partly spite on John McCain’s part, but he still had the right idea: Donald Trump does not belong at any solemn occasion like a funeral, any more than he belongs in the White House as POTUS.

Tom, when you wrote “I would absolutely read a column about dipshit movies,” I kinda took that to mean you actually liked movies about dipshits. Fortunately you then proceeded to prove me wrong by describing how excruciating you found Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, because you found it so hard to give a damn about its…

So why is he not dressed for the cold? Nor Harley, for that matter?

AAAAHHH!!! COWZILLAAA!!! *SKREEEEONNNNKKK!!!*

Danged if I know. All I’m sure of is the boy ain’t dressed for the season and neither is Harley.

“[T]he world of Injustice shatters the typical DC status quo to give [Tom Taylor] new conflicts to explore.”

Okay, so the cold won’t bother Wonder Woman too much, and that guy in the Bat-suit is presumably completely insulated … but Harley? And Kamandi?
