Good call on She-Hulk!

That was a fantastic game, and the “feel” of web-swinging was really remarkable. Learning how to modify your speed and arc was a lot of fun.
I might even like the live version below a bit more. I love how Jackson stifles his crackup at one point. . .
Beatles “Rock & Roll Music”
I saw this at a pre-release screening in NYC back when I was in film school. Townsend and the cast surprised the audience by running up on stage afterwards to many cheers, but there was no Q&A.
Ross is much like J. Jonah Jameson - sometimes played as a complete tool, sometimes shown to have some principles underneath. In that vein, Elliot is perfect for the principled General Ross, and Hurt is better for the hypocritical, buffoonish “Thunderbolt.”
“Mike’s guy” not to the exclusion of working for Gus - obviously - but more that Victor seemed, to me, like a guy that Mike had hired himself. Just a feeling. The vibe I got when Mike and Victor were in scenes didn’t give me the impression that Victor was already working for Gus and Mike was installed over him - they…
I feel like I saw “Juan Borsa” in prior reviews as well - AMC and IMDB both have him as “Bolsa,” for what it’s worth. . .
I mostly love the Meth Incorporated stuff. But I’m not loving how much of the team is in place pre-Mike. We’re seeing that Victor and Tyrus already work for Fring (whereas they seemed very much like Mike’s guys on BREAKING BAD), and their scheme to protect Nacho is pretty damn methodical and clever - almost…
I’ve enjoyed some of the Carpool Karaoke and found others a waste of time. But by god the Tony Awards version puts a smile on even my non-Broadway Musical-loving face:
DEATH OF SUPERMAN was crap. FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND and REIGN OF THE SUPERMEN were pretty decent, IMO.
As much as I love the Raimi SPIDER films, I find them difficult to jump into if I catch one while flipping channels. Everything is SO heightened and emo that it’s off-putting without being eased in from the start.
The more naturalistic MCU films, on the other hand, are an easy drop-in for 20 minutes on FX. . .
I’ll take it a step further - the cockyness and freedom Peter exhibits as Spider-Man is a step on the road to the selfish prick Spidey is when he doesn’t stop The Burglar. My biggest complain about both of the Sony origins is that they motivate Peter’s dickishness by having the wrestling promotor/bodega guy screw him…
This can never be shared enough. Success was within their grasp!
IIRC, Luke lived in Hell’s Kitchen after escaping from prison until his bar there was blown up in s1 of JESSICA JONES. He only moved to Harlem afterwards. . .
And also because simultaneously-running Picard was so Famously Bald (lots of “to baldly go” jokes in the late 1980s). Sisko - whoever played him - was likely to be hirsuite just for contrast.
One thing in favor of buying the DVD of FROM HELL, though. In the edition I have, extensive clips from the original British tv show where Stephen Knight presented his Gull theory are included. Annoyingly, they are all hidden as easter eggs. (http://www.hiddendvdeastereggs.com/films/32818.html)
The weirdest thing about the adaptation for me (which fails on almost every level, truly) is that - as I recall - Depp and Graham know who The Ripper’s targets are from the jump and spend most of the movie haplessly failing to prevent their murders.
The book is brilliant, second only to WATCHMEN in Moore’s ouevre, IMO.…
Not only that, but Frasier’s mother was talked about on FRASIER as being long-dead, but the character had appeared on CHEERS (and Frasier was spoken of as an only child).
So, yeah, FRASIER lampshaded this very amusingly when ted Danson guest-starred, but it was hardly airtight continuity.
Great panel! Where’s this from?
