He has to be something to match Furlong’s current. . . look. Either an angry burnout (“I was destined for greatness!”) or a PTSD-scarred victim of endless skirmishes (skyrmyshys?) over the last 30years.

FRIENDS was very, very good in it’s day. Not SEINFELD good, but clever-than-usual scripts being performed by six actors with killer comedy timing.

That 2019 writers keep doing drivebys on FRIENDS on the weeks they’re not doing deep-dive reappraisals of GOLDEN GIRLS or effusing over the “Why Don’t He Want Me?” episode…

I watched the special last night. You can choose to like it or not, but the quotes above pretty much leave out the jokes. They’re not a complete or accurate representation of what Chappelle said.

It’s more than a bit like Lenny Bruce being upset in his indecency trial when his material was judged based on a beat cop’s…

I thought I was taken out of the grays on IO9. . . please?

Plus:

She-Hulk doesn’t *need* to be CG. Marvel just need to find a tall, muscular woman who can act. Makeup will do the rest. She-Hulk is big, but not inhumanly so.

I just hope they have the balls to cast Charlie Cox as an unnamed “counselor” to oppose her in a few cases. . .

If this is from Feige’s side of things, there’s a good chance. If it’s from Marvel TV, you’re right - no chance.

For my money, Bucky would have been the more interesting choice as he has something to atone for, and becoming Cap gives him a fresh start (even if Bucky probably feels he doesn’t deserve it). Sam doesn’t need a fresh start - he’s already The Falcon and that’s awesome.

. . . 40-something adults who go to five movies a year. . .

I’m wondering if she’s actually a Romulan. If Picard was involved in some sort of heroic evacuation of Romulus, her seeming awe would make sense. . .

They let me out! The dream lives!

(And can I please, today of all days, be released from the Phantom Zone of THE GRAYS?!?!? I’m a poster in good standing at the AV Club. . .)

Here.

I’ve been betting they’ll kill Hoechlin’s Superman so Kara can be the big Kryptonian dog on what I assume will be a merged Earth.

Fair point. But Mego has a much bigger “toy history” footprint than just that. A episode devoted to just the World’s Greatest Superheroes line, or Mego as a whole (with licenses for TREK, DC, Marvel, PLANET OF THE APES, HAPPY DAYS, etc, etc) wouldn’t be out of line.

Three seasons and still no 1970s Mego or 1980s Super Powers?!? BAH!

Also. . .

Unfortunately, there is nothing extraterrestrial to see at Area 51. As a cartoon I saw (but can’t find at the moment) pointed out, if there were space monster remains in the government’s possession, there’s no WAY President Twitter could keep his big yap shut about it. Ergo, no ETs.

Seconded. A few whoppers in the narrative (Welles never attended parties at San Simeon!), but very enjoyable and generally accurate. Melanie Griffiths is surprisingly good as Marion Davies; Malkovitch is a terrific Mank.

The director has said it was the real Fury at the funeral in ENDGAME. So not quite that long. . .
