They're all just non-powered folk who are on the board of a powerful charity non-profit, paid for by a trust from the Wayne Foundation.

I'm OK with that, and I am NOT OK with that.

What makes it so hard to believe is how well he takes to it as Mrs. Doubtfire. Unless he's so method an actor that he has to become a stern Scottish woman to let himself do that stuff.

So, I broke down and re-watched the Birthday Party scene.

Well, there definitely is a communication chasm there, just in the birthday party itself. "I'll come home early and bring the cake." "All right, and I'll rent a bunch of animals to let loose around the house." "Wait, what?"

You may have a point, though it strikes me Daniel isn't the type of messy slob who doesn't notice or care about things being messy, but rather the type for whom things get messy, and actually will take care of it at some point. If Miranda was the kind of neat person who recognizes, hey, things get messy with three…

I would argue that "Kryptonian Army" would hold a special priority to Superman that a run-of-the-mill alien/interdimensional invasion would not.

Yeah, expect, if the problem is "Kryptonian Army", he would naturally have his own stake in it.

Part of the problem is Superman represents this giant Chekov's Gun on the wall that's kept in a sealed glass case. They establish he exists— fine. They establish that Kara doesn't want him just swooping in and saving her bacon every time— fine.

It's far more a "thing in movies" than, you know, actual life. Only in movies are, say, the big Little League games scheduled for a Tuesday at 3pm when Mom and/or Dad would be expected to be, you know, at work.

Yeah, there's a disturbing thread throughout the movie where Daniel is treated just slightly better than a convicted child molester would be.

Wacky kids! MURDER MAN! Wacky Kids! MURDER! Wacky kids running from MURDER MAN!

So many 80s movies fit under that category…

I haven't seen Moscow since I was a kid and WAY too young to really *get* it. I should probably revisit it.

There's an interesting subtext in there— intentional or unintentional— of how things would go "wrong" the nights she tried to come home early. She'd 'have' to clean it up. Which implies the night she came home on time, there was nothing to clean up, or that when she comes early and sees that the mess exists she…

The source photo may have been a magazine— I just know that the doctor (played by B5's Dr. Franklin) broke their rule of controlled images. But my interpretation was that the heart Caliban summoned was his own mother's. Which might be particularly dark on my part.

Right.

You have to hand it to that actor, being able to make a single, innocuous word into something both joyful and terrifying.
