Mod Note: Y’all, we’re slow-walking towards politics here. I understand why, but…

“Marsha! Marsha! Marsha! Your mic is muted and we can’t hear you!”

I could totally see that using a gem in a spell might not actually destroy it completely, but merely devalue it significantly. After all, a gem cutter might decrease a stone’s value significantly with sloppy work. (Likewise, another cutter might rehabilitate a poorly cut stone, if they’re...

“Welcome to Bouilla Bay, just off of the Gulf of Ceviche!”

Hope the whole show kicks butt!

Tangent: My HS classmates and I played an approximation of that back in the early 80s. We’d go into an unused classroom (with all of the furniture, etc. in place) with a superball and some kind of hardcover book, clipboard, or whatever, and start smacking the ball around. Those desks and...

I’ve only seen the original Tron. (Probably need to correct that.) I don’t know what to think besides I’m definitely buying the soundtrack.

I think that’s a big part of why Leslie Nielsen’s track record with this style of comedy was so vey good. He had the drama/action chops already, and each time he took one of these comedic roles, the writers & directors knew for a fact he could lean into the stylistic norms of his past. And the...

Hell, for my money, Vermithrax Pejorative is one of the best dragons on film, period. I don’t think I’ve seen any better until the past few years.

It’s a tiny one, but yes.

As implied before, DC has LOTS of Superman alternatives. Ultraa https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraa Captain Thunder https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Captain_Thunder#:~:text=Captain%20Thunder%20is%20a%20name,by%20the%20children%20of%20S.H.A.Z.A.M..

I was still a customer at that time. I wasn’t necessarily a fan of the retcon, but there’s been worse.

The problem with him is time travel.

Could be good, could be bad. I like that, as the original did, they’re emulating the visual aesthetics of period police dramas. But the quality of the actual humor is what will make or break this.

I’m slipping. I really am. It was right there, and it took me this long to think of it: Murders in the Only Building

I’m not a fan of meatloaf in general. I didn’t find one I liked until I made one myself. Since then, I’ve found one place that makes a meatloaf sandwich I’d eat with a smile. But in each case, the condiments were all tomato based, so I’d have to say that was unusual. However, I don’t see a...

I love the original Death Race, thought the 08 remake was…meh. Never heard of 2050!

The only one I can recall was his teenage sidekick, Speedy, who became a Teen Titan.*. The others probably are post-1990s, I’d bet. * and maybe a heroin addict at one point if I remember correctly.

Some good thoughts in there, but as a practical matter, Mon-El is just Kal-El with a different vulnerability. Yeah, vulnerability to lead is MUCH worse than kryptonite, but there’s workarounds for that.
