Happy birthday to you?

It's just such a sloppy and lazy show: Professor Stein on the moral high ground about killing future Hitler when he drugged and kidnapped Jax; the guards dressed in black and wearing red arm bands to drive home the Hitler parallel, but they can't be bothered to put a symbol on the arm band; the season long swiping from Age of Ultron across all the shows continues with the Atom robots; the episode ending with Rory warning of the coming threat of...The Hunters.

Rip: I'm sorry, I have to kill you. A kid: You won't because you're garbage at your mission. Rip: You're right.

Can't blame her.

If I do merit cretin status, you gotta mention it on a recording; it just doesn't ring without an accent.

Because Livewire sucks.

Between the cast and it not being part of the main series, I'm optimistic.

Warner's added two DC films to the schedule, for 2018 and 2019.

Nerds (by which I'm not referring to the people on this forum) hate ambition and divergences from what they've built up the superheroes to be, even if the divergence is true to the characters. There isn't anything wrong with the core of what Fantastic Four and BvS wanted to do, the problem is that the execution fell short for both.

In all my years on the internet, how did it take until actually watching Superman III to learn that Evil Superman pollutes an ocean in exchange for sex?

I am baffled.

Nah, they don't explain Rathaway, you're just supposed to go "ah, ~time travel~!"

Don't get me wrong, I'd rather re-watch it than Ghost Rider or X-Men Origins: Wolverine. But it's got too many fundamental storytelling problems to be more than a fascinating mess.

I thought they were great all the way through. The villains and Raimi Spider-Man scene were goofy as hell though.

Ha ha ha, what the fuck?

I cannot believe they cut this scene out of the movie.

Holy shit, is that verbatim? They gotta make him a supervillain, right?

A friend of mine is a big Gene Tierney fan and hyped it up to me. It definitely lived up to it.

That Uncertain Feeling - My least favorite Lubitsch film so far, lacking in the effortlessly perfect fusion of witty writing and filmmaking. Burgess Meredith is fantastic though. Leave Her to Heaven - A film noir shot as a drama, in Technicolor. Gene Tierney delivers some all-time great facial expressions, and Vincent Price has a standout early role as a lawyer out for blood. Crime Wave - Quick and to the point movie about a law-abiding ex-con blackmailed into a job, and the detective who considers him guilty until proven innocent. Highlights are the opening robbery, the stark black and white cinematography, and Sterling Hayden chewing toothpicks and yelling at people as the detective. The Fury - Brian De Palma does Scanners better several years before it. Kirk Douglas is in it, and there's no "I'm not at the top anymore" phoning it in; he's great as always. Cloverfield - Since it was at the beginning of found footage, it has more ambition and life in it than what's followed; T.J. Miller is the prototypical "guy holding the camera you can't wait to die horribly" though. Some surprisingly effective graphic moments. Night Catches Us - Starring Anthony Mackie and Kerry Washington, set in 1976 Philadelphia, dealing with how former Black Panthers are living their lives. Well told drama of a subject that hasn't been allowed to have much of a light shone on it. Knock Knock - The first half twists male fantasy into a nightmare, the second is so ridiculous that it burns through most of the goodwill earned. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice - Thoughts in the thread. Films: 70
