Well, yeah - Los Lobos is a great band. I can't say I love everything they have done since it tends to be a bit outside my wheelhouse of tastes but even the stuff I don't like I realize tends to be great…

Inside Out was really great. But there was a time when "Really Great" was normal for Pixar. Now… They kind of veer between "really Great" and… Cars 3.

That is the way of the T - he moves in mysterious ways and comes and goes like a ninja.

You missed Mr. T?!! What is wrong with you! Mr. T is not just a person - he is a symbol of everything that is right with the world! Or something… He punched an alligator and then waved it in the air and threw it (In cartoons) - you can't ignore something that superhuman!

True… but even Pixar isn't Pixar level anymore, to be honest.

I haven't the faintest idea why I never went back. It was just one of those things where I finished that first season, some other stuff came up and then I kept saying "I'll start season two tomorrow" and tomorrow and tomorrow…

It's odd that we just got done with a slew of zombie movies that were popular for years and "Cell" never was adapted into a big budget release. I mean, come on - yeah, I know it wasn't actually zombies in the technical sense but if "28 Days Later" can be big while borrowing all the zombie movie tropes then Cell was a

I keep meaning to go back to this show on Netflix - I watched season one and rather liked it and saw the potential and then life intervened and I never went forward… But this was a decent show that had a lot of chances to develop, I can say that.

I hate to admit this since I wanna be a film snob and not be sucked in but… I kinda wanna see this. It looks like exactly what I want to watch right now - silly, inoffensive and shown in a air conditioned theater.

Totally off topic but the discussion of "Winona Earp" made me flash to a TV show I want :

The golden age Batman probably was not well known at the time, I agree.

So you know that the darker tone wasn't actually new. Really what Burton did was use that dark tone but still include a bit of camp (Think Nicholsons Joker here). It's not like the character was completely silver age and then went dark.

True but have you ever read the golden age Batman?

Yeah - an Avengers tone would work. Jokey and light while still mixing in the fact that they can be serious if the situation requires it. I'd be good with that.

Well, it didn't help that we were both too young (Just out of college) and she worked nights and me days so we ended up with roughly 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes at night. So I can't fault the power rangers.

For me it was almost the opposite. I was rather newly married at the time (Way too young) and discovered that episodes of it were about the only time me and my (now ex) wife had when we were both interested in the same thing, for whatever reason.

Yeah but here's the thing - that version of Batman existed before the Adam West version. Burton didn't create a new vision of Batman - what he really did was take the original tone and combine it with the "Dark Knight Returns" tone that was already simmering in the pop culture.

You know, I recently rewatched a lot of it off netflix… And I kinda disagree. I could still see myself sitting there at 6am in the morning before I go to work happily watching an episode Monday through Friday.

He often works with Speilbergo in Mexico.

But what was so good about the show was that it was farcical and silly. Nobody took it seriously except very very young kids but it was a show that was just fun. And every so often it could pull itself together and deliver something epic while still being silly (I am thinking about the green ranger saga here - that
