I don’t know about the proposed film, but this comments section is a fucking sausage-fest.

I don’t know... “An upsettingly dead Hooch” made me laugh out loud.  Thanks, AV Club and @deathbytoys, I really needed that!

Doop looks like a cross between Slimer and that Crazy Frog guy (“Ba-ding-ding-ding-baaaao!”) from the 90's.

Hemsworth brought the fun in Thor, but Hiddleston brought the gravitas. The most pleasant surprise of that film for me was how well-conceived and well-portrayed Loki was.

I love Jihae, even though the only thing I’ve seen her in is the otherwise-middling NatGeo series Mars. Boy, does she carry that show. Maybe that’s why they cast her in two roles...

I first saw her in the Netflix film Dude. Cute movie about stoner girls. (Yes, that is an oversimplification...but also kinda not.)

It’s a friend of the band who is not IN the band. Come to think of it, so is the Blowfish. But you should just assume that Darius Rucker is Hootie, and the band is/are The Blowfish, because they’re probably sick of people thinking that, which makes it funny.

Yeah, a bit strange that the article didn’t mention this major (for Netflix) series that he’s on right now.

There is the singer/songwriter Eleanor McEvoy, who is every bit as Irish as that name implies.  

So rather than being a tribute to X-Men, it is actually a tribute to Howard Hawks’ original Scarface?

I was never a big comics reader, I just sort of played around the edges. But in 1987 or ‘88, when I was around 19, my friend gave me the Watchmen compilation as a gift. I thought that it was not only the greatest graphic novel I’d ever read, but one of my favorite novels, period.

My single biggest problem with TDK is that the city is recognizably, obviously, unmistakably, Chicago. Batman does not live in Chicago, he lives in Gotham City! But the production design made no attempt to make the setting look like a unique place. They swung way too far on the side of “realism” in that respect.

I love how the “Paranoia as a sales tactic” approach was echoed in the Antivirus storyline of Halt and Catch Fire. Although even at his craziest, Joe MacMillan (Lee Pace) could not hold a candle to John McAfee...

As someone who loves the submarine genre, I take this film as a personal affront.

I would say Johnny English is closer to the Get Smart TV series than the Pink Panther films, and not just because of the spy setting. Johnny is not a complete incompetent like Clouseau, he’s more like Maxwell Smart in that he does have formal training in his field, and some degree of common sense, but he’s also…

I’m not crazy about the return to the off-the-rack Daredevil outfit. Not that I love the silly costume so much, but the show made it clear in S1 (very reasonably so) that Matt is simply too vulnerable to blade attacks without some type of flexible armor. Does S3 address that in any way?

This was a surprisingly deep dive into an entertainment news item that may very well have passed without much fanfare, and I found it very interesting. So, thank you to the author, and to the AV Club for allowing an article with this many words to be published.

I almost forgot my other favorite, which is “every fight in Ong Bak” — but this singular hit is burned into my mind forever (at about :30):

(PS: Sure wish I knew how to embed vids in Kinja...)

That fight with Fassbender is basically the centerpiece of Haywire, and as amazing as that scene is, the one that sticks with me is the shorter, almost throwaway sequence where Carano fights the SWAT guys while trying to escape from a building.

The staircase fight in DD S2 was probably the second-best scene in the Marvel Netflix shows. Clearly they were trying to live-up to what they had done in S1. They didn’t quite make it, because the S1 fight had novelty going for it...but OTOH, the S2 fight fulfilled my wish to see a grand-scale fight in which Daredevil…
