I thought it was just (the makeup team's interpretation of) the results of having the mask on for years: dead skin, accumulated gunk, possibly some pus, that kind of thing.

I thought they were on a boat. Now I want to rewatch it to see if I just made that up in my head.

I've always pronounced it "YO-bard" which is pretty much what he said, if memory serves. Though I could swear that the only other time I've heard it spoken in anything remotely official - the Flashpoint animated movie - it was pronounced slightly differently. I don't remember how, but I recall it sounding weird to my…

It always seems wrong to me that every winter the Midwest and the East Coast have more snow than we can find a place for and the Southwest has water shortages even though trucks and trains exist.

If memory serves, Sif ruled out aliens that needed "heightened Nitrogen levels" not just Nitrogen. So more than 78%. Something that's used to, say, 90% Nitrogen might want to track down stores of the stuff if it was stranded on Earth, but not necessarily suffocate right away.

Not disputing your point, but just as an (I think) interesting trivia note: the Greek god Hephaestus is often described as having built robots to help him walk around (he was crippled as a birth defect and/or from being thrown off of Olympus as a baby). The ancient Greeks probably figured there was some magic…

I'm fine with it as long as they keep undoing it through cybernetics. If he doesn't get a new hand or ever becomes permanently wheelchair-bound, then it'll bother me, because I do like the guy.

…or mind.

This is deeply weird for me, because I just found out this fairly obscure movie existed two nights ago and then the AV Club does a story about it. I was looking for other things the cast of Arrow had done to help describe them to a friend, and I turned up clips of this movie (and some adorable pictures of Caity Lotz…

The mistake is thinking she chose the armor bikini over a full suit of armor. Look at what Conan - and virtually everyone else in Hyborea - wears. If she wasn't wearing an armor bikini, she'd be wearing a leather or cloth bikini. The chainmail bikini actually is the more protective choice. I mean, she was designed…

There's a pretty good chance she'll at least wear more than she does in the comics. In the comics she wears a chainmail bikini, but in the old movie they put her in a one-piece with a skirt that actually covers more than what Wonder Woman wears and is basically comparable to what Xena wore. It's actually pretty rare…

Buster Pointdexter when he's singing, David Johansen when he's acting. It's like Chris Gaines but slightly less sad.

The sequel to The Lazarus Effect should be The Jesus Effect. It's about a scientist who dies and has to figure out how to bring himself back to life.

How about a killer who trains cats to hide in cabinets and, when people open them, jump on their faces and tear their throats out?

Judging by most of the people I knew, college.

But at least it won't be a really gory death.

What makes you think that's no the intent? This is all just a scheme to get you to root for Superman when Batman v Superman comes out.

I actually thought that was a nice - if possibly unintentional - touch, given that Poison Ivy is the one who capitalizes more on her sexuality as an adult villain. What Selina got from that exchange was "I don't want to end up desperate for people's attention like this woman" but what Ivy got was "I want to be the one…

Hey, never put it past the writers of this show to have Alfred die and his son, Alfred Pennyworth Jr., turn up to join Bruce on his quest for vengeance.

It seems like every year CN has some new cartoon that I see commercials for and think it looks utterly unwatchable. Then eventually the show will come on after something I watched and I'll catch the first few minutes and usually end up thinking anywhere from "not my cup of tea, but not as bad as the commercials made…
