Nah, the DC version of Spiderman is Black Spider. He's a villain, but he's quipy and great.

Also actually voiced by Josh Keaton, aka the best cartoon spiderman. Really is a shame that spectacular spiderman was canceled. Should have gone on for 5 more seasons.

Salt and Pepper are not seasoning!

I know there have been tons of jokes about "bland caucasian cooking" but it is a wonder how rare spices like paprika, cumin, garlic powder and onion powder are used, to name some very basic ones.

*googles*

there's a perpetual white spider on that touchpad forever? I never understood why gamers liked those custom controllers, even for properties I like. It's like getting a tattoo but for your console/controller.

Ctrl + F "his name is actually Static!" not found.

Wow this is not the CE I remember.

I'm honestly surprised DC didn't just change his name to static shock based on how many of us call him that. Especially since it's not like he was a legacy character or anything, he was literally introduced in 93 he's younger than even harley quinn.

Yeah I didn't like it. Watched it with someone who I used to know.

That being said, I don't mind the idea of like a trailer trash heist movie. I actually wanted to see that one with Zack Galifianakis but I never got around to it.

And I didn't really get why they'd get one of the most prominent British actors of his day doing a drawn out, exaggerated southern drawl, it's distracting and silly. Haven't seen Knives Out or Glass Onion, but I'm glad it seems to be a better fit than in Logan Lucky. Mid movie at best, really didn't like it very much.

Ah trailer trash, that's the word I was looking for.

You have to watch Knives Out, it's one of the best movies of the last decade and the best murder mystery movie of the 21st century easily. It's like they took an Agatha Christie novel and adapted it for the modern age, better than any of the actual adaptations of her works.

I was confused by the cameos. Couldn't understand why Sebastian Stan was in this or what was the point of his racecar driver character. And they introduce Hilary Swank the FBI agent in literally the last 20 minutes of the movie which is so confusing to the point where I'm wondering if it was meant to be a sequel hook like the final scene of Oceans 11.

But holy crap I had no idea it was by the Ocean's 11 guy. Also more holy crap that director has huge range, from comedy like oceans to more serious like Erin brockovitch to Contagion.

Should have suspected after he had the characters in the movie call the heist "Ocean's 7-11" in-universe.

So the Ocean's movies exist in the universe of the movie... that is directed by the guy who's directing this?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logan_Lucky

Yet another movie about poor white people rednecks that pull off a heist to get money because they've been "wronged" somehow oh poor them. After hell or high water I've had my fill of these movies, the characters are not sympathetic or compelling or likable at all. Hell or High Water was already discount No Country For Old Men without the deconstruction advantage, and this movie is like a discount of a discount. No getting caught, they steal the money and get off scot-free and I'm not really rooting for them.

I liked Daniel Craig though. Finally figured out where Daniel Craig got his southern drawl idea for Knives Out. He started doing it in Logan Lucky and must have enjoyed it so much he just fine tuned it for Knives Out. So that's one good thing this movie gave us.

I'm honestly not sure why the critic RT score is so high, the audience score is reasonably lower. Feels like I have to be from the south to enjoy the movie, from the whole nascar thing to the southerner redneck daily life to the little girl pageantry.

Mostly using it to watch shows/movies and reading digital books and comic books.

I've not watched it, but I have considered it based on Where's The Bathroom? and Remember That We Suffered.

You must watch it, it's really good.

Hm, I was wondering recently if cable TV still exists.
Also it's kinda funny to me that SyFy is playing Harry Potter.

harry potter is technically sci-fi. You call it magic but in my world we call it science and they are one and the same

But yeah After Smallville saw success they really wanted to do a lot of spinoffs and even backdoor pilots, they wanted to do an Aquaman spinoff, they wanted to do a Supergirl spinoff, they even wanted to do a Green Arrow spinoff.

Oh and it unabashedly does the guy ritchie sherlock holmes thing of narrating and giving a play by play of the fight scene in slow mo and then sped up. Just ridiculously hilarious

AngelsNAirwav3s posted...

I remember that show. CW was trying hard to capitalize on the Smallville craze back then

That's the thing, this was the cringe era of the 2000s where they were sort of ashamed of being comic book characters, so they almost never dressed up the characters in their suits and instead had them wear a lot of leather that was vaguely color matching to their costume. Like a lot of leather.

Anyway this was an odd property to pick because young me definitely didn't even know it was a Batman/DC property at the time, it honestly felt like a fever dream watching it because it was sort of comic book characters, but also not?

Haven't heard of that show is it any good?

Man if this is the direction they're going with always sunny I am loving it. After feeling like the show was getting a bit stale, them going to Ireland last season was just different enough to shake up the formula, and if they are being given a budget it's nice to do things like riff off celebrities and go to exotic locales while doing the typical stunts the gang does.

It's crazy that way back in 2002 an exec at WB even greenlit this show in the first place, but yeah. The only explanation I can think of is that they were trying to get some of that Charmed demographic. And maybe a little bit of Dark Angel.

I still love the Hannibal Buress wasn't actually in "Tag" meme:

Are we sure Hannibal Buress was actually in "Tag"?

I watched "Tag". I liked it a lot. A couple of my friends recently told me their conspiracy theory that Hannibal Buress wasn't actually in "Tag". They sold me.
Here's the gist. They are completely convinced that the entire movie had been shot without Hannibal Buress. Their guess is that early studio reactions and test audience screenings were poor, because of lack of diversity and not enough humor - so they hired Hannibal Buress and shoehorned him into the movie after the fact using a mixture of greenscreen, standalone reaction shots, and a few reshoots featuring the entire cast.
In watching the movie, they couldn't help but notice that Hannibal often isn't in the mix with the rest of the cast or is off to the side in some shots almost like he's been digitally added. The movie frequently cuts away to him to give off-kilter one-liners seemingly tagged on after the fact. It almost seems like his character serves no real purpose to the plot as it mostly revolves around Jeremy Renner, Jake Johnson, Ed Helms and Jon Hamm.
Granted, Hannibal is probably the best part of the movie so if this mischief actually took place, it was worth it.
I've reached out to Hannibal for comment on Twitter and thus far have received no response.
TL;DR: Hannibal Buress isn't actually in "Tag"

https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/97o6f8/are_we_sure_hannibal_buress_was_actually_in_tag/

Holy crap. As I was rewatching the movie that was literally what I thought when they showed his first scene at the therapist. I was like "wait, that guy was in the movie?"

I completely forgot about him because yeah, when I remember the movie I only think of Jon Hamm, Jeremey Renner, Jake Johnson and Ed Helms, along with the girls like the reporter and isla fisher.

But to be fair I also momentarily forgot Rashida Jones plays a love interest so. That was a pleasant surprise to see her again.

I loved the show so damn much, but by the end of it I only watched the first half the last season and never finished it.

I should probably do that one day.

The salary dispute with Lisa's Cuddy really sucked the life out of the last season, and just sucked in general.

I'm just wondering if I bought a bunch of ps plus subscriptions codes off sites like cdkeys, does that mean I'll be able to use them in the next few years or will they inactivate them? Because with this price hike they're basically a steal, I'd save $50 off each one.

I was curious to see what would happen to Kutner if they didn't have to kill him off. They were building him up to be a medical genius and a lot like House with his disregard for rules.

The guy who left to be part of Obama's administration, and then just as suddenly, quit? That was weird all around

I mean yeah this is garbage news, but I'm just wondering if I bought a bunch of ps plus subscriptions codes off sites like cdkeys, does that mean I'll be able to use them in the next few years or will they inactivate them?

I guess they did write the screenplay for the movie V for Vendetta, which I actually liked and still like so that's something. Wonder why they didn't direct it though.

I had no idea Cloud Atlas and Jupiter Ascending was by them. That's fucking crazy how much goodwill The Matrix has given them, even after The Matrix sequels.

Looks green to me

This could have been funny, but "scream my name" turned it slightly sexual tbh

Is there a Jacques there? Last name: Cousteau

Then there's the excellent cast. I'm so glad the initial concept with Will Ferrel and Jack Black and Tracy Morgan didn't exist, though I wouldn't mind jack or tracy in the final version, it's just will ferrel that I don't want. But having Jon Hamm and Jeremy Renner in one movie was great, then you add Jake Johnson as well, plus isla fisher... heck, I don't even mind ed helms in this movie.

Dang. Well the movie really resonated with me. The whole lifelong friends thing, the growing up and moving apart but still having a closeness, and then there's the hilarious action comedy of it all, leaning into the ridiculousness of the premise just cracks me up every time.

to help out the Avengers in Infinity War?

I am wtfing so hard at the low RT score this movie has because I really enjoyed it. I don't know what cynical tools are on the rt website but anyone who doesn't find the movie really fun, silly and cute is crazy.

Weird 3:

A: Ransom for a Dead Man

Whoever wrote the script for this episode was kinda sexist lol.

I remember watching the pilot episodes before going to school, why was the second pilot weird?

Also I never did watch the final 2 or 3 episodes of Columbo that aired in the 2000s, you're saying it was awful?

Oh cool, Columbo had that title before the Bond movie.

Really enjoyed that show. Still have the entire collection too.

Questionmarktarius posted...

Columbo was brilliant in that the first handful of minutes spoiled the whole thing, yet we'd watch it all anyway.

It's a large part of the reason why I dismiss "OMG SPOILERS!!!" freakouts. If it's ruined because of whatever got spoiled, then the rest of it is just a waste of time anyway.

Yeah no, this makes no sense whatsoever because that's not what a spoiler is. Columbo was never a whodunnit, the whole point of why the show was unique in that it's more of a howdunit, or rather what mistake the murderers made to allow Columbo to catch them.

By your logic Batman being bruce wayne is a spoiler that the batman movies reveal early in the film.

The best part is its not sudden or trite in order to fit the narrative like other series (cough a certain fantasy series) you actually see this development throughout the show's progress, and how House's 3 proteges eventually settle into their roles and lead the new teams, taking up the mantle each of the original 3 left behind

Foreman pretty much becomes Cuddy.

Chase is shown to be House's successor, even down to the epiphanies.

Cameron for the most part is the Wilson of the group.

Nowadays, it have missed the whole CW superhero boat. The channel has been sold and is being retooled into an extremely low-cost network. Which means no expensive original programming like superhero shows.

Oh wow. Then I guess it would be more accurate to say just under 10 years ago. The mid 2010s was pretty much the CW show era for DC live action for better or worse.

Hell, Lady Gaga's Harley Quinn could almost be considered a homage to this short lived kinda crappy series that few of us barely even remember

I kinda hate that I don't hate Scream 6. I disliked 5, which felt like a retread of 4's themes but lamer plus being the first non Craven flick. I thought surely 6 would be worse but it's not. I don't know maybe I was just in the right headspace to enjoy the silliness.

1 > 2 > 4 > 6 > 5 > 3 is the canon order I believe.

It failed hard of course because back then that was definitely obscure, but nowadays with the CW it would definitely be a long running show like the rest of the CW's content.

Most notably it had Oracle, the version of Batgirl that isn't seen as much outside of comics.

But I made this topic because I just found out it was Mia Sara who was playing Harley Quinn this whole time

I liked the overlap that can be seen

Just last year I read a story of his called Dark Night: A True Batman Story, a brutal story about a mugging paul dini endured and it really showcased just how close they were. While many have portrayed hq, arleen will always be unique and special

She helped bring to life an iconic character. I feel really bad for paul dini, they were best friends and her death must be hitting him hard.

a testament to her strong character. Even though Stanley Kubrick did everything in his power to basically turn her off acting forever, she still appeared in TV shows and movies, and good ones too not weirdly pretentious horror ones.

Ted has an advantage over Iroh, though, in that he doesn't like the trash that is commonly referred to as "tea"

Loool

https://youtu.be/YJn17lwukCc?t=9

When Nate tries to apologize to Ted, you can see that Ted was never angry or upset with Nate, just sad that he never recognized Nate's hurt feelings sooner. Because Ted is all about forgiveness and being open minded. Nate wanted to apologize just to ease his own conscience, but he never needed to with Ted. Just like how Uncle Iroh was never angry with Zuko when Zuko goes to apologize, just afraid that he lost his way.

Bruce Banner does, Strange is probably an MD, but did Tony ever bother going for it or no need?
