This is a very interesting observation.

I’m all for late-career Kurt Russell choosing roles based specifically around his magnificent facial hair.

Overall, I enjoy the show a lot. It’s sloppy and saggy, for sure, but the bright spots are really delightful. I enjoy that it doesn’t go for the easiest jokes and that it culls references from more esoteric sources (like the elf kingdom being a Fleischer Studios creation). I was initially worried, because being a fan…

Nothing is going to make these fucks do a 180. The most that will ever happen is they keep their reprehensible, mercenary views to themselves because they’re so far out of public favor/unprofitable. 

Naw, man. It’s not “people”, it’s Tucker Carlson. Regular ol’ assholes are still out in restaurants across the country, not being yelled at. This racist asshole, who’s using his platform to endanger people and worsen our national landscape, as well as your Huckabee-Sanders and your Stephen Millers should absolutely be…

Top notch header image, Sam.

It’s certainly the comic that brought into sharpest focus for me what’s good, interesting, and necessary about Superman as a character. Even if a direct adaption is ever made (which would be tricky to do well, I think) the spirit and clarity of character a very much worth emulating.

Absolutely. Emotions are complicated and can be a real pain in the ass. The temptation to believe you don’t actually have them and are in fact a precision Sherlock Holmes Spock-bot of infallible and objective observation and not an anxious bundle of often contradictory and unsatisfied urges is tempting.

Man, Zack Snyder can’t pick up a single idea without it turning to turds in his hand. He’s poop Midas.

Man, I don’t even know about that...

The continued insistence by all the white dudes that the continued monopoly by white dudes in positions of power is simply the product of meritocracy is getting increasingly absurd every day.

It should also be noted that the typical person who claims we shouldn’t be ruled by emotion tend to be both the most emotionally stunted and most reflexively beholden to those stunted emotions than any of us.

That was a really fun way to acknowledge all the old Jimmy Olson comics.

Yeah, there’s certainly a seed of an interesting movie to tell about a couple with such a literal power imbalance, but there are a lot more ways to tell it poorly than good.

The only thing I remember from Super Ex-Girlfriend is a scene where Thurman rips off Wilson’s clothes during a work meeting was the most blatant and egregious use of stunt body I’ve ever seen in a movie.

Anyone working on a Superman movie needs to have that panel, nay, that entire sequence from All-Star Superman pinned within line of sight at all times.

Oh, man. This looks good and all, but I will never, ever see it. I saw the first adaption when I was much too young and had nightmares for weeks. Now, I have a son Gage’s age and so nope, no way, no how.

Maybe. Maybe Skeletor is deciding he’d like to be the vulnerable one for a change.

It’s an understandable feeling, but also an impossible one. Most of the childhood classics we’ve built our worldview on come from authors who are either passed away, or writing before social media presence and unrelenting monetization offered authors a voice far beyond their books. Lewis, Tolkien, Dahl, Cleary, etc.…

Right now he’s doing his cutting regimen. In a few weeks it’ll be back to bulk.
