Oh fuck off.

Hey Aqualung! 

Absolutely.

There’s a lot to like about Superman Returns but it’s a movie which is so narratively inert and dull. And Kate Bosworth particularly is hugely miscast as Lois.

I’ve been loving this show so far. Really digging it.

It’s like how away team missions on Star Trek are all clearly somewhere just outside LA.

This.

Especially Lisa but especially Bart! 

Absolutely. Frasier was a fucking blast to watch and the delight of it was the interplay between the characters, especially Frasier and Niles.

It’s worth a read. It’s a very different flavour of Superman than All-Star but it’s good as its own thing. 

Oh Cousin Merle, really! 

So you’re thinking we should bring back Ricki Lake?

I’d be really curious to know how that story would hit for people who weren’t reading comics, or particularly both Superman and The Authority back then, because it’s such a product of that specific moment in time.

I’ll be curious to see where they go with this.

New 52 has a bad reputation overall but yeah there were some great books in there - Snyder/Capullo’s Batman, Morrison’s 19-issue Action Comics run, even Geoff Johns and Jim Lee’s Justice League run is pretty good (early on - it goes wildly off the rails in later issues). 

Yes indeed - 52 came out from early-mid 2006 through early mid-2007 while the New 52 didn’t kick off until September 2011.

I rewatched the China Syndrome recent and man it still holds up well.

It’s a weird thing to realise that movie came out about four or five months before the show ended.

By total coincidence, I just watched Super Pumped last week after double-teaming it with WeCrashed.

I remember enjoying that show but also thinking it looked incredibly cheap at pretty much every turn.
