He’s Michaeling down everyone’s Vincents in Heaven now.

One aspect of the Doctor Strange film that I liked (along with the trippy visuals) is that SPOILER ALERT: He saves the day by essentially forcing Dormammu to chose between giving up, or being stuck with Strange’s annoying ass in a time loop for eternity. Talk about his greatest superpower being within him all along! 

He was just a gorgeous guy in his heyday. He’s been out of the spotlight so long I wasn’t sure if he was still alive or not.

I liked it better in retrospect when I realized that Stark in this is following the same arc as Walter Bishop in Fringe. They are both staggering under the guilt caused by being smart and hubristic enough to break the world. Only instead the guilt making him cut out parts of his brain, it makes him cede control to the…

Doctor Strange is awesome. It was different, in a good way, from the other Marvel movies that came before it, and the character has been awesome in subsequent movies. 

Judas betrays him for a game of Plinko.

Honestly, that was one of my takeaways from Infinity War - indeed, the MCU as a whole. You have these massive casts that include literal Oscar winners, not to mention incredibly accomplished directors, writers, crew members, behind the scenes people, and they all give a damn. No one is just cashing a paycheck (well,…

I’m something of a soft-defender of Suicide Squad. The action in it is bad and the villain is bad, but Margot Robbie, Will Smith, and Viola Davis are all good in it and I do find some interest its take on The Joker. Ultimately it’s a movie for fourteen-year-olds, but at least it’s a movie for somebody, which is more…

Kick-Ass was a dismal nonentity?

I like Civil War a lot but I still don’t know why they chose to have the big action set piece in a boring abandoned airport. Visually it’s incredibly dull which is odd for a film that stars so many superheroes. 

Having watched the documentary I sympathize with the impulse here, but I don’t think this is the right way to handle it. I can maybe see pulling it from syndication, etc., where the absence of context might create the impression that the people who made the episode don’t know or care about the revelations that came…

I don’t think that’s the right decision. The man’s legacy is complicated, to say the least, but this seems like a bit of a reach. Next you’ll tell me nobody will air Men in Black II anymore, of if they do it won’t feature his cameo. There’s a point where this all gets silly, and I think we’re there.

If Bob Iger thinks I’m paying for another streaming service that doesn’t have Song of the South and The Black Cauldron, he’s got another thing coming.

I for one cannot wait to see Condorman again!

“Come on down ..., repent of your sins, receive the Lord’s blessing, and be saved.”

I use self-checkouts almost exclusively. The only time I need a human employee is one I try to buy air-duster for my computer or super glue to fix a broken cup or NyQuil cause I have a cold and have to have someone there verify that “Yes, I am, in fact, over the age of 18".

These kinds of tales are always for the benefit of us regular folks rather than “gods.” The reality is that suffering was a major part of the human condition until just recently with the advent of modern medicine, civil rights and democracy; and, of course, this isn’t universally applied even today—there is still a…

I am absolutely saying hes an idiot.

I’m an agnostic, so it never had much of an impact, but I do kinda respect the ultraviolence as a way to really shock followers out of complacency.  The anti-Semitic undertones, not so much.
